Oh how the turn tables- baptiste

I just feel smug af…
I said he broke. And I’ve never been right SO fast. I just wanna gloat. I’m sad because I know reverts don’t exist in this game and I liked launch bappy boi.

But also like… It’s not even been a month. Which imo shows that balance should really be worked to be more frequent and managed in a non patch manner. If bappy boi is an issue… Just like Moira… There’s a bigger issue at play.

I’m just impressed we’ve moved on from hating on the “easy supports” to hating on the mechanically demanding supports

Don’t worry, we need 5 thousand threads complaining about a non-existent problem.

Oh, and clearly the Baptiste hunt isn’t going on. Nope, not at all. :roll_eyes:

A simple magsize decrease would fix him. Imagine 45>30 or something. Maybe 36.
Besides, there’s no need for him to shoot his primary fire for as long as he currently can. This way he has to reload more frequently while doing damage. You get to shoot 10 bursts of 3 bullets per mag still. But his sustained damage wouldn’t rival Soldier’s anymore.

I would be fine with that.

76 still needs buffs tho.

I like turn tables.

I think he had an underwhelming release. Under utilised… one trick with his invincibility shield. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a move made to get people to notice him. Makes sense to me

What tables turned

Baptiste’s damage??? the damage that’s under every non-support?

He’s not doing bastion levels of damage, sure.
But let’s not pretend that he deals little damage.

7th lowest in GM, 5th lowest all ranks?

Yeah, that’s a bit disingenuous.
Give Soldier a healing alt fire and his damage per match would drop too.
Does this mean that his damage is somehow weaker then?

Despite what you think of Bap’s current state, once the forums have latched onto hating a support, it’s only a matter of time until the nerfhammer comes down.

Fixed that for you

They’ll probably either reduce the healing on his nades or increase Soldier’s ammo so he can get that little bit of extra damage before reloading

People scream for healing, yet ask for healer nerfs. They scream for tanks to protect them, yet ask for tank nerfs. And you wonder why DPS queue times are so long? Because why would anyone who isn’t a masochist, play tank or support, lol.

It’s not fair to deal with on paper things like that, especially when the stats don’t back it up.

On paper, Bastion’s damage is busted.

I am a baptiste player. I thought he was fine before he was buffed. Now he might be too powerful…

I am afraid that he gets the nerf hammer and worse than before because reverts dont happen. Idk why he was buffed in the first place…

Yeah they do. Do you pay attention at all? :thinking:

baps allways been good and i have no idea why people don’t play him honestly.
gonna be interesting what’s gonna happen during this barrier nerf patch.

Probably because they nerfed his ability to heal and fire at the same time. When I tried him early on he could do both at the same time at pretty much the same rate. Then they added a stupid delay.
