Nightcap doesn’t need nerf

Well, if you can be deadly with any character, why play as Nightcap as your main? I've only played as her for half a match. But aside from her stealth, her Fu attack, and zipping all over the place, I think the main reason people like being her is because her primary weapon is forgiving. You basically just have to aim in an opponents general direction, and you'll do major damage. Where every other character I've played so far requires you to be precise in your aiming, just to hit the body, let alone land headshots for any real damage. Nightcap basically lets you play like GW2 does, where you can be successful without being an expert shooter. Which I think most of us GW players are not. One of the reasons we love the franchise so much is because it was about fun not being so technically skilled. I think that's one of the main issues I have with this game. They want you to be way more accurate in your shooting ability than GW ever expected of you, while making it even more difficult to do so by the nature of how small the characters are and their jerky movements. 

I do think the shooting mechanics alone will turn off a huge chunk of the classic GW crowd. Those were the shooter games for people like me, who don't like shooters. I've never played Overwatch or any of the others I've read ppl on here trying to compare BFN to, but the very fact you can make a comparison to those games, means it's lost something GW has. GW is in a league of it's own. BFN doesn't belong there.

Well then they need to increase the damage of other classes so they have a fighting chance OR make one solid zombie counter to the Nightcap. (The Space Cadet is the best ive found).

I don't agree that it's solely an inability of skill with other characters. I used to destroy with the basic zombie soldier or scientist class but now they are almost useless.

Additionally, your point about having to land 1 shot with Spyglass, 80's Hero, or the dynamite is basically my arguement as well. Although they hit hard IF they hit, that is exactly the problem. The Nightcap moves so fast you absolutely HAVE TO hit them the first time. Because if you miss, you now have to charge up to have an attack that does any kind of damage at all. And by the time you charge your second shot, the nightcap is at your feet invisible at hyper speed Fung Fu'ing you to death or running circles around you melting you with his main attack that almost never misses. Also, the charged up spyglass is zoomed in so good luck spotting the Nightcap when hes less than 5 feet away.

Overall, playing the Nightcap is a blast because it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I just want other characters to be equally fun to play. 

@Koochi-QIf you don't think this character needs a nerf, you are drunk. They have so much going for them it's ridiculous.

Insane escapes, insane mobility, insane 1 shot potential and insane damage per second.

This character is not only a walking mindless 1 shot, but also has a billion cloaks, a huge slow and his autos do a billion damage while also being able to snipe with them.

Don't be bias, your "main" needs a nerf and even if Fung Fu was nerfed hard the character would still be good simply because he does so much damage on his autos.

You are naming all these things that one shot nightcap, but all those things are SKILL SHOTS. Something nightcap's fung fu lacks, it's skilless and noob friendly. Something so brainless and easy to do shouldn't be a 1 shot.

Just look at how everybody plays that class. Its the new meta. Its complete garbage at this point.

The thing is i understand what they were trying to do from a design standpoint. To hit blobs of zombies and make them scatter. To have them run out of cover as they are attacked from behind. But as it is with Popcap so often, they are not in line with the playerbase and so all the nice design falls apart once people with different plans actually play the game.

Constant Fung Fu. I've been in games where the entire zombie team could not progress because everybody was busy dealing with the constant backstabs. 

Survived one Fung Fu? Great. Have another. And as you fall to the ground just watch as there was a third one just waiting.

Its generally a really bad idea to have invisible characters in any multiplayer game. And just to be clear, i am talking complete invisibility - not some cloak that gives away a silhouette. All the game does is display a couple dust trails.

I just have to look over to an actual stealth game. Metal Gear Solid 5. Which does have a cloak effect for a class. But no full invisibility. And another class with thermal vision to track and mark them for the team when cloaked.

Fung Fu is also such a thing. After all the Impkata nonsense yet another "spin to win"-hit-one-button-no-aim skill. And look at what happened to the Imps Impkata in this game. It got drastically nerfed. Way less range, damage and tracking than in GW2. But compared to that, Fung Fu is the new golden standard of OP. You can't even stop it. There is no clear target. No EMPeach or Burrow to eat the user. It just goes. And thats why people spam it while attacking from behind, or even just because why not.

And i know the user still takes damage as it goes but that is not helpful at all, unless you run an aim-bot which i had to experience against the AI during the team vanquish quest.

And the time it takes to get out of its effective range, turn around and attack gives the Shroom enough time to recover from Fung Fu and retreat with stealth.

Almost like a Suicide-Chomper, that managed to connect a Burrow but then just walks away invisible.

And of course the projectile. Way too easy to hit targets as large projectile. No recoil. Effective at range. Good damage. Three of these properties need to be nerfed.

Its already hard enough with the new mobility to avoid all the flanking Pea Gatlings while being sniped by the cactus. You now need to have at least 6 eyes in your head to cover all sides, angels and rooftops. But then some random invisible guy comes out of nowhere and thinks he is really brilliant with his masterful stealth, as if he just beat MGS2 on European Extreme with 0 Alerts.
