@MorbidBEARBOY Hey, your original post was in the Bug Report section, but this is more of a feedback post. We stripped out the bug info, and moved your post to the general page, where you'll find lots of discussion on balance.

@MorbidBEARBOYNightcap is a GOD. Like playing Imp as zombies, practically untouchable when played correctly.
I need to upload some videos of me trashing full teams of NC’s. That is my number one favorite character of all to play against along with Imp.
Any character is a GOD in the right hands.
EDIT: (To everyone) I agree that the implementation of drag is crap compared to damage drop off at distances. Rose and NC upgrade kits and play styles in BA had to be adjusted IMMEDIATELY following the last patch. Specifically speaking, up close battles with Rose changed SIGNIFICANTLY and NC can no longer shoot people from across the Funderdome map. I’m not complaining about these changes as I’m DONE caring.... just saying the changes are there and if you don’t notice them, it’s probably due to the way you play the characters.... which also brings up a dichotomy nobody has addressed: how do you balance a game for TT and BA simultaneously?

@spIash_damageI'd like to see some of those videos .. youre trashing the noob night caps or those legitimately strong / elite NCs?
Which platform are you on?
@mikepal19 turns out I don't record this happening very often. I just went through my videos and more often than not, I only record NCs when erros with hit registration occurs. I found a few clips that were in the unintended recorded part of a few videos I cut out for you. The next time I get another prominent team of NC's and beat them solo, I'll try to remember to record it.
I ask about your platform because it's easier for me to help/train someone in-game and would be happy to help anyone who's not toxic (as I experience you). I truly love to help anyone/everyone that's nice.
This first video features two decent players (didn't play with them long enough to truly assess their skill). Both were 2nd or 3rd of 8 people the few matches we played. Also notice the lag from my 2nd to 3rd warp and again during frag of the 2nd NC. I only mention this because I would have missed my shots, had I not played my angles correctly, especially aiming at the small hit boxes. I think MANY PEOPLE miss these small hit boxes because of bad angles instead of bad aim. In other words, if a target is running toward you as compared to running perpendicular with your line of sight, they're much easier to hit, especially if they're running in a straight line/not jumping. Angles are everything; even though the lag was minimal, a split second delay will cause you to miss a small hitbox:
This next video is actually relative to our discussion because it features a pocket healing Sunflower healing an ally NC with ranks in the 300 - 600, if memory serves correctly. The other pair of NCs sticking together were ranked above 1,000 but can't remember precise ranks. I lost to these guys most of the night so skill wasn't as much in question is the point of my rambling.
Please know every scenario is different but this particular match, I knew I had to separate the pairs in order to stand a chance. I couldn't believe the first couple were so hungry to frag me that they ran waterside/couldn't be revived. The last time I'd seen the other pair of NCs was across the arena so I had a feeling to sneak back their direction (through "our" spawn and back to the room I suspected they'd be hiding) as opposed to walking out into the open (and making myself vulnerable to Spore attack x2).
As I snuck up and saw one NC, notice I didn't try to kill him immediately/I looked around for his partner or smoke steps. Luckily, his buddy was right there with him and/or invisible and I got the double kill. I knew better than to Rambo my way toward these two maxed out NC's (upgrade kits maxed) and got lucky by following my gut.
This video shows 2 really formidable NCs and one noob. I could have attacked the group downstairs, on the 2nd floor, or immediately entering the 3rd floor but chose to wait until I thought they'd all be vulnerable to an ability (collectively). Also notice the small things I do to cover my butt in hitting/punching a few extra times (when I couldn't locate the 3rd NC) as well as leaving my shielding up even though I almost knew he wasn't around:
