My belief is that at the very minimum, she removing her DP makes it so she becomes glass cannon. She can keep her broken tools in neutral and keep doing the things that peacock players find “fun” about her, but now when I am RIGHT, and when I am in, I get to maul her.This sort of feeling is everywhere when it comes to suggesting Peacock nerfs and I don't understand why. What's the point of coming to the negotiating table with nerfs that, by your own admission, would do nothing to put the character in line with the rest of the cast? Criticism of Peacock nerfs thus far by her players have never been about the nerfs making the character too weak or anything of the sort, but rather the opposite: they've made the character feel worse to play while also doing absolutely nothing to take her out of top 2, let alone top 3.
If this "she'd still be top 1 even with these changes" stuff is just a rhetorical flourish and you genuinely believe M Bang, or assist+tp 50/50s, or M George combo breaking are her strongest tools and she'd be normalized without them then say that. Otherwise, the community really has to start standing behind changes that actually stand a chance of toning her down,like removing or heavily lowering the viability of safe 50/50 item vortex,not behind changes that they already believe will be ineffective.
You’ll already see a tremendous amount of patience due to the guarantee that once a player is in, it’s party time, meaning the nerf is working effectively. Wanting to nerf anything more than that is at the discretion of the devs or whatever the community pleads, but we still have to come together to address this character’s actual issues.
I am only addressing one of plenty that I think a change would already be a huge detriment. Yes certain characters by design just end up top tier, and I think it’s hard to take away too many things without ruining the character, so I can accept her being top tier if changes are made that allows me to contest her more.
We need to start SOMEWHERE. Lowering her defensive capabilities I think is a good start for what her tools on offense allow for.
Taking her out of top 1 or 2 is not my interest. It’s normalizing some of her tools compared to what she is allowed to do that interests me. I’m a firm believer that the only way she leaves those spots is if another DLC character shows up, or some nerf so large renders here absolutely garbage and I don’t think anyone wants that.
DP being gone will make all the difference in almost every matchup while keeping her still like “Peacock.”
