Was playing with a buddy and came across a team with a Newcastle. He had his barried up, and not knowing, we climbed over it, just to get slowed/electrocuted by it.
Like..wtf.
It's bad enough that they gave him LL res shield, but he has an electrified barrier too??
Maybe I'm just salty, but this seems a bit much. On top of everything else he has, why does the barrier need to be electrified?
@pandareno1999It only disables the stun for a while but doesn’t destroy the wall completely. Not sure about the tactical if it gets destroyed.
@Cheese9Man
Heros with abilities means nothing if you aren't good or comfortable using them.
I main LL, that match I was using BH, and the third option is Maggie with the occasional Ash.
Vert rarely have I ever run into NC in games, picking a legend I don't know how to use on the off chance that I'll run into him is ludicrous and puts me and my team at a bigger disadvantage than we would if I just shot the thing with my main.
Like I said before if you absolutely need a certain hero to get past something then it is unbalanced, but thankfully other people here have posted more fesable solutions other than pick a legend you might not own or know how to use.
Legend abilities should be unique to each legend and imo there shouldn't be one that can just cancel another's ability. Destroy maybe, if it's balanced, but I prefer the destroying to be able to be done outside of abilities.
Don't know anything about crypto so im not going to comment on that but I'm sure he's already had a nerf.
But I will say. I am NOT asking for a nerf.
What I am saying is that his abilities seem like a lot in comparison to other legends.
If you can't wrap your head around that, then frankly do yourself a favor and QED.

Not sure how accurate this is but not only does the dude have 4 shields and is fortified due to his dad bod, he can cancel wattson fences, jump to out of sight allies, and even damage people with his mobile shield. (Not much tho)
It's more than any support has and more than the other defense legends have. He's basically multiple classes in one.
Nice to know the electricity on the barrier last 30s.
@XxColdFangxX You really ought to consider reading patch notes when they come out. Plus, we can use all legends in the firing range now, and I recommend getting familiar with all of their abilities so you're not caught out by surprise like this.
@pandareno1999
I really should.
I've been slowly trying to branch out the legends I use, firing range will only do so much for me, fighting against actual people is different than the dummies.
And then there's the ones I just don't want to use because of how they feel. Gibby, NC, probably caustic.
Part of the issue is indeed not knowing, but adding the electric wall on top of what I did know, just seemed like a little much to me.
