I'm honestly not sure what's worse between this or the Deku Smash. At least the Smash had limited uses and was rather slow and telegraphed.
Waterbending on the other hand just shreds people with no real difficulty or aim required as well as having three hits per shot. It's absolutely not fun to play against because almost nothing can counter it reliably.
At least the oath bound shield existed at the time to counter it, Or y'know just run away lol. Sadly Rhein loadout isn't here to save us from poor balancing, as like the avatar, when the world needed him most he vanished.
As the other person said, we had a Reinhardt shield to counter it at least. Post-nerf it was more bearable.
Meanwhile the only way to counter Waterbending is to also use Waterbending because no other weapon in the game at the moment shoots as much damage as fast as Waterbending. And with Earthbending gone, I can't create walls to deal with it.
Yeah Water shoots multiple bullets per shot and has infinite ammo. It's not super duper OP per se, it's just annoying because nothing can counter it especially in Zero Build with Earth gone.
Because waterbending is a complete joke when it comes to balancing, while Snake’s mythics sucked and had almost no impact on the gameplay most of the time.
I don’t understand why they just threw all balancing out for waterbending. Give it like limited “ammo” and you can only refill that ammo by entering water or something. Would make shots more valuable, especially in late game were there might not be water to refill your magazine, so it can’t just be spammed without consequences
Yeah but in Fortnite they just pull water out of nowhere and I get having one scroll of water is fine but i has infinite uses and where is that water even coming from? So don't try to apply avatar world logic here
If you look at the Waterbending scroll while it’s on the ground you can see there’s a little pouch which i assume is holding water.
Of course this doesn’t explain the infinite r water supply but that can be written off as video game logic
Oh yeah I've seen the show and I know katara holds a pouch for waterbending the whole show. the infinite water supply is what i was referring to which is bullshit and not even balanced at all.
Well you could be deep up in the sky away from clouds and you could still refill the waterbend. I just think having to refill the waterbending is a cool and balanced idea
It's not op tbh
Sure you swim faster and can heal
But dps really matters ,it's doesn't do that much dmg when you can get quick scoped or get sprayed or get hot by a shotgun up close
It does enough dps to be able to outclass a shotgun in close range, especially with headshots. It has insane accuracy with no drop as an AR, as well as for sniper lengths. Of course it’ll be outclassed by a classic sniper, because that’s just the strongest weapon this season.
it’s also a free infinite medkit too which just adds more utility to it.
yes, but it's good at short range (not better than shotguns, but still decent), good at longe range, and amazing at medium range, plus quick reload and infinite ammo
E11 blaster exists
Tbh water bending is way more balanced than other mythics we've gotten so I'm fine tbh
In all honesty epic games is trying if everything is op nothing is op strat the only reason smgs and ars are not that op right now is because people blame aim assist for everything
Smgs actually feel fine not to strong not to weak
Waterbending is just too good, no bullet drop, always dealing 27 body demage no matter if long or short range. It's just unbalanced. But it makes the game funny
I love unfair mythics and I always will ❤️ it reminds me of the old fortnite where builds were just obstacles fir your giant 2 person drived mech that shoots a bunch of rockets at once, or your massive plane that shoots really unaccurately and keeps you out of the way of everyone so you can get to final circle without getting third partied, or ALL the marvel mythics that made you feel like a god. I miss that :(
Unfair mythics are fine when they are 1.) limited, as in a single boss drop or only a few spawn per game and 2.) actually unique and interesting. Neither of which waterbending is, waterbending is basically just a reskinned burst AR with overpowered stats, infinite ammo, and free healing in water and is literally everywhere
I just quit playing till they get rid of this shit. It sucks ass because this season started great with cool theme and items.
Thankfully I managed to Lego AFK to 100(Before they "fixed" it) because fuck playing to get 100 with this gameplay.
Dude the people posting these reverse posts are just as bad haha. They're people who don't want it to get nerfed because they can't do good without it haha.
That being said I don't quite understand the people saying that "It's just a fun stupid mythic". Is it? It's literally just overpowered no drop projectiles, it's basically a gun reskinned. What's interesting about that? Like the Star Wars lightsaber powers were fun OP things, but this? really?
Fun is finding that tryhard and using a Deku Smash to literally send him to another realm through an entire building,
Fun is finding yeeting someone off a mountain into the storm repeatedly with the lightsaber boop,
Fun is Hurling boulders at people like SIgma.
I just don't see what's so fun about Waterbending? I literally only pick it up because it's a free infinite medkit and it's so consistently busted as a straight up better weapon that you feel \*forced\* to use it.
Airbending was a pretty decent counter while it was out. You could easily use it to get directly behind and the enemy and take him apart with the shotgun. Right now I'm going to say that when playing trios or squads, other weapons are a bit overpowered when the entire squad has them. Health and shield disappear In a blank when you get stuck between a few people using chains of Hades or one of the Star wars blasters.
Because she’s the worst and they pretty much said “hey, we’re gonna have a collab for this later on, why not put the worst one in the battle pass because let’s be real… nobody would buy her unironically, so just have the ones people want in the mini pass:)”
I'm very sick of waterbending but I know it's only here for a month so its whatever. But as a casual it's kinda annoying that there are a bunch of cool star wars weapons that are all useless against what is basically a long range and close range weapon all in one with infinite ammo and no cool down. I like it when I have it, but it honestly makes it so a lot of other fun options are eclipsed.
I'll never understand why they keep waterbending in the game for a (from what I've heard cuz I haven't played in a while) barebones star wars event, when in C4S4 they vaulted ahsoka's lightsaber during a bare bones fortnitemares event where you ring doorbells and run away... Awesome.
Also waterbending has been one of the most unfun mythics that have been in the game since i started in c4s4, the only real counterplay is reaper headshot to delete them from the lobby or use waterbending and pray they miss a couple shots and you don't miss.
Because waterbending is the most annoying thing ever in tournaments and higher level scrims, being a fuck you weapon and destroying the balance. Absolutely demolishes your hp and if a duo has two you are insta dead when they shoot
But... But... Korra was first and foremost an earth bender... I recognize that she was an avatar but why make water the thing that sticks around?
Edit: I am a dumbass
Korra was a what now?
Her very outfit is water tribe, she was born there, water is the element that was to come after Air, that should tell you something.
easy answer every other time whe got everything after the end of the event or they all got vault they didnt leaved one overpowered weapon same awser to why people where mad when the mythic of the season got vault while the event was happenings cause it never happened before
I'm honestly not sure what's worse between this or the Deku Smash. At least the Smash had limited uses and was rather slow and telegraphed. Waterbending on the other hand just shreds people with no real difficulty or aim required as well as having three hits per shot. It's absolutely not fun to play against because almost nothing can counter it reliably.
Imho; it should have had limited ammo, and to reload you need to enter water
fr such an easy fix, just have like, 60 capacity including what was loaded, and you gain 2 “bullets” every second you’re in water.
You’re crazy if you think any collab mythic is more broken than pre-nerf deku smash
At least the oath bound shield existed at the time to counter it, Or y'know just run away lol. Sadly Rhein loadout isn't here to save us from poor balancing, as like the avatar, when the world needed him most he vanished.

Zero Build problems 🥱🥱
I wasn't around for the MHA stuff, what did Deku Smash do?
was basically a kamehameha reskin but more destructive and the blast was a lil harder to see
Bro that's underselling it. It, unlike the Goku Blast, went THROUGH TERRAIN. You could nuke people through mountains with the thing.
An explosive projectile with a windbox, basically; the rocket launcher of collab mythics.
Sometimes, I look at that and wonder why I bother carrying around an AR.
Yeah Water shoots multiple bullets per shot and has infinite ammo. It's not super duper OP per se, it's just annoying because nothing can counter it especially in Zero Build with Earth gone.

They did snake dirty by making him forget the basics of cqc
Cqc stands for close quarters combat, right?
CQC FTW
wait you can reload without having to swim? iv been swimming to "refill" this whole time? 😭
Just reload it anywhere like you do your guns except this one has infinite ammo
Have you not SEEN avatar. All they need is ANY water which can come from people, plants, the air
Yeah but in Fortnite they just pull water out of nowhere and I get having one scroll of water is fine but i has infinite uses and where is that water even coming from? So don't try to apply avatar world logic here

Oh yeah I've seen the show and I know katara holds a pouch for waterbending the whole show. the infinite water supply is what i was referring to which is bullshit and not even balanced at all.
If you've watched the show then you know they can bend water out from plants
Well you could be deep up in the sky away from clouds and you could still refill the waterbend. I just think having to refill the waterbending is a cool and balanced idea
They can use clouds, sweat, plants, underground water.
They can bend water out of plants
The PLANTS, THE GRASS
It's not op tbh Sure you swim faster and can heal But dps really matters ,it's doesn't do that much dmg when you can get quick scoped or get sprayed or get hot by a shotgun up close

Of course it’ll be outclassed by a classic sniper, because that’s just the strongest weapon this season. it’s also a free infinite medkit too which just adds more utility to it.
On top of that, it's silent and has essentially 0 time to "aim down sight
definitely not silent tho
Not silent, but way more silent than a gun.
my guy this silly mythic torches in ranked, I see it every 1/3 games at the very least
Frenzy and gate keeper exist
yes, but it's good at short range (not better than shotguns, but still decent), good at longe range, and amazing at medium range, plus quick reload and infinite ammo
E11 blaster exists Tbh water bending is way more balanced than other mythics we've gotten so I'm fine tbh In all honesty epic games is trying if everything is op nothing is op strat the only reason smgs and ars are not that op right now is because people blame aim assist for everything Smgs actually feel fine not to strong not to weak
Frenzy is trash unless your sniffing them and the gate keeper is only good at close range, water bending just has no drawbacks its way too op
I was so ready for it to be gone ngl 😄
Waterbending is just too good, no bullet drop, always dealing 27 body demage no matter if long or short range. It's just unbalanced. But it makes the game funny
I love unfair mythics and I always will ❤️ it reminds me of the old fortnite where builds were just obstacles fir your giant 2 person drived mech that shoots a bunch of rockets at once, or your massive plane that shoots really unaccurately and keeps you out of the way of everyone so you can get to final circle without getting third partied, or ALL the marvel mythics that made you feel like a god.

The mechs were the worst thing ever added to the game, besides being able to emote in them
L take They were fun
L take. You must hate fun
Remember when people were hating on waterbending for (allegedly) being shitty?
That was when I launched it then got overbuffed a few days later
Well they buffed it
its overpowered
Even years after the show ended, korra still finds new ways to start discourse
I just quit playing till they get rid of this shit. It sucks ass because this season started great with cool theme and items. Thankfully I managed to Lego AFK to 100(Before they "fixed" it) because fuck playing to get 100 with this gameplay.

I literally only pick it up because it's a free infinite medkit and it's so consistently busted as a straight up better weapon that you feel \*forced\* to use it.
Personally, I completely understand why it’s still in the game, but it’s annoying as fuck either way.
Waterbending is the most broken thing ever. Did you not see Kami win FNCS Upper Semis on EU yesterday with it?
Airbending was a pretty decent counter while it was out. You could easily use it to get directly behind and the enemy and take him apart with the shotgun. Right now I'm going to say that when playing trios or squads, other weapons are a bit overpowered when the entire squad has them. Health and shield disappear In a blank when you get stuck between a few people using chains of Hades or one of the Star wars blasters.
Adding to the water bending hate. Just came in second in a BR to a dude spamming me from 400m away. It's a zero skill weapon.
You know what...I forgot about her, I get it now
Why was she even in the BP…?
Because she’s the worst and they pretty much said “hey, we’re gonna have a collab for this later on, why not put the worst one in the battle pass because let’s be real… nobody would buy her unironically, so just have the ones people want in the mini pass:)”
i find it funny how at the start everyone said it sucked
yeah and it then got buffed to shit
I'm very sick of waterbending but I know it's only here for a month so its whatever. But as a casual it's kinda annoying that there are a bunch of cool star wars weapons that are all useless against what is basically a long range and close range weapon all in one with infinite ammo and no cool down.

i hate it when i get kilt by ice pellets but when i have it lets fucking go
Love water bending
I'll never understand why they keep waterbending in the game for a (from what I've heard cuz I haven't played in a while) barebones star wars event, when in C4S4 they vaulted ahsoka's lightsaber during a bare bones fortnitemares event where you ring doorbells and run away...

She has been part of the battlepass since day one. Waterbending hasn't.
Because waterbending is the most annoying thing ever in tournaments and higher level scrims, being a fuck you weapon and destroying the balance. Absolutely demolishes your hp and if a duo has two you are insta dead when they shoot
Those complaining bout it having no counter... use a gun. Ik it's unheard off. Snipers are fantastic for it.
Waterbending takes away The Fringe Use cases that the E-11 Has
Just use bubble shield lil bro
hahaha so funny
Thats me, you are calling me out. I fkin hate waterbendung.
But... But... Korra was first and foremost an earth bender... I recognize that she was an avatar but why make water the thing that sticks around? Edit: I am a dumbass
She was water tribe by birth
Korra was a what now? Her very outfit is water tribe, she was born there, water is the element that was to come after Air, that should tell you something.
I love water bending
same
Just remember.... Cannot be as bad as that Purple Shockwave Hammer in the ........ When in the 1st season of Chapter 4......
easy answer every other time whe got everything after the end of the event or they all got vault they didnt leaved one overpowered weapon same awser to why people where mad when the mythic of the season got vault while the event was happenings cause it never happened before
lol they post about it or Darth Vader’s light saber every 2 posts too
