Q & A

What is the main issue with Bran's Dodge counter discussed in the transcript?

The main issue is that Bran's Dodge counter, when used in midair, causes him to drop to the ground, interrupting his air combo and ruining his overall gameplay. This change, whether intentional or not, negatively affects his kit, particularly when his midair attacks are supposed to chain smoothly.

Why do some content creators claim that the changes to Bran's kit are not a problem?

Some content creators argue that the changes are not problematic, labeling them as either a skill issue or a minor bug that doesn't significantly affect gameplay. They also downplay the severity of the change and focus on semantics, like debating whether it's a bug or a Nerf.

How does the speaker argue against the claims that Bran’s kit isn’t affected?

The speaker counters these claims by providing video evidence that clearly shows how Bran's air combo is disrupted by the Dodge counter, making it impossible to play him properly. The speaker also highlights that the current state of Bran’s kit is not how it was originally intended and that the change is ruining his gameplay potential.

What did Bran's Dodge counter behavior look like before the February 22nd patch?

Before the patch, Bran's Dodge counter in midair allowed him to immediately follow up with another air attack without being interrupted or falling to the ground. This behavior kept his combo chain intact and maintained his air-based damage potential.

Why does the speaker feel the need to address the issue before Bran's official release?

The speaker believes it is crucial to address the issue now to prevent Bran from launching with major gameplay problems. By calling attention to the issue before release, the speaker hopes to prevent negative PR and ensure that Bran performs as intended from the start.

How does the change in Bran’s Dodge counter affect his damage output?

The change affects Bran's damage output because his sequence nodes, which rely on his ability to stay in the air, are disrupted. His kit has several sequence nodes tied to midair attacks, and the Dodge counter causing him to drop to the ground eliminates the effectiveness of these upgrades, resulting in less damage and slower Forte generation.

What are the consequences of Bran being brought to the ground after using his Dodge counter?

Being brought to the ground after using his Dodge counter results in a significant nerf to Bran’s performance. His ability to chain attacks in the air is destroyed, and the sequence nodes that boost his damage, crit rate, and Forte circuit are negatively impacted, making his kit less effective overall.

How does the speaker view the spread of misinformation regarding Bran's Nerf?

The speaker feels that misinformation is being spread by individuals who either misunderstand the issue or refuse to acknowledge it. They argue that some content creators are downplaying the issue, contributing to toxic positivity that deflects from the real problem with Bran’s kit.

Why is the speaker critical of the community’s response to Bran's gameplay issues?

The speaker is critical of the community because they believe that many are defending the broken mechanics, dismissing the concerns raised by creators like Ethan, Skull CJ, and themselves. The speaker argues that the community is more focused on defending the game’s current state rather than addressing the actual problems with Bran’s kit.

What does the speaker believe should happen in terms of Bran’s kit before the character’s release?

The speaker believes that Bran’s kit should be fixed before his official release. They argue that it would be better to address the issues now, rather than having Bran launch with a flawed kit, causing drama and negative reactions later. Fixing the issues before release would ensure a smoother launch and a more functional gameplay experience.
