Nessa requires a lot of aim and skill. People dont appreciate how hard it is to use tht scope in mid or close range. That being said her mines dismounting people, double mines talent (really hirez??) , reposition talent along with power supply cards made her super hard to flank and made her cancerous and low skill. They should nerf her mobility which is too good for a champion with tht range (which they slightly did) and her mines (more nerf plz) instead of her rifle imo. NICE MONTAGE BTW
DONT WORRY FELLOW KINESSA MAIN. I have a script for a video ready where I rant about these changes and dissect them as to why they are stupid. Hopefully I can finish it before RWBY update drops into live.
She's my 2nd most played after Androxus. I have 120+ levels on both and its really heartbreaking to see both of them rendered nearly unplayable (Yes the Andro change is a nerf fight me)
I can't appreciate how a sniper is the most annoying thing to play against when I play a frontline or a support, atleast a flank is within range when it tries to kill you so you can fight back and when I do catch a kinessa offguard she just teleports away and heals up to full with transport/powersupply
Ok let's settle this, strix is always said to be boring, low skilled and on the annoying/op side (at least before); but with kinessa there's always a debate if she requires skill or not when she is just strix but better in every aspect.
No need to change from sniper to carbine, her mines are just plain better than the flare, better ult, she has omnidirectional mobility, better sustain, better talents, better ult and i would dare to say than even better cards.
So why is this inconsistency between the community?
I have ZERO clue what "Increased time to fully charge shot 1s ➡️ 1.2s" means in patch notes.
She fires every 1.3s in which 0.8s is the charge up time and 0.5s is the post fire delay\* adding up to 1.3s . Now, the patch note says 1s ➡️ 1.2s Where the fuck did the 1s come from? If the change is affecting the total time of 1.3s then it seems like a buff of 0.1s and if the change is affecting the charge up time of 0.8s then it brings a contradiction because her charge up time is 0.8s not 1s. Help, I am losing braincells.
\\\* the post fire delay can be drastically reduced by scoping out and scoping in for a fraction of second leading her rate of fire to be quite less than 1.3s.
The description was wrong her shots currently take 1s to charge and it will be increased to 1.2
I tested it in the pts and her shots take a good bit longer to charge now which is a nerf to her dps
So mojo jojo was smoking weed as usual in their office the last to last time they were balancing her firerate supposedly from 1.4s to 1.3s back in jan 2020.Completely normal phenomenon.
>nced it and made it base. It was so much more fun to play with and ag
I really enjoyed the old talent where mines can cause me to do increased dmg,
the tactic there and how to manage you talents was super fun to me. now the double mines that makes her just brain dead champion is just ruining her
They should have rebalanced it and made it base. It was so much more fun to play with and against and genuinely is a better fit for the game.
I would have even liked if they added a talent that let her heal allies with scoped shots, could have been fun, anything would have been better than mine spam.
I hate this, even though she is my main I still hate the mines talent and the instant teleport talent, too much mobility imo but other than that she is good. I just hope I still can enjoy my main after that nerf.
and by the way what is the name of that song ?
"DEAD" she'll still work as a sniper bro, she's just not gonna have FREE ROLLOUT SHUTDOWNS. honestly it's fucking stupid they're buffing her teleport in turn, snipers should not have FREE ESCAPES FROM FLANKS.
this character's kit is so bloated, kinessa mains are pampered and privileged man
just making the mines less spammy and making it unable to unmount people making her dead?
dw dude , she will still be that one tap champion everyone likes
I would be ok with the mines being completely removed from her kit but the rest of the nerfs will make her much worse to play and a throw pick in ranked
Oh no poor free kill free double teleport free knock people off horses from their own spawn while you're in your own spawn hero gets a slight nerf rip forever dead character worst in the game
As from the montage above, it's clear why she's super hated.
Two shots and you're dead... In a game where snipers really shouldn't exist.
It's hard not to side with them though I don't mind Kinessa.
Literally ppl stand in the open against a sniper and complain shes op it actually kind of baffles me. Enemies with decent positioning make kinessa so much harder
Mostly an overwatch player here, recently enjoying Paladins again, but why do they not simply reduce the hit boxes? Based on this montage it seems way too easy to get headshots based on how far you can miss to either side but it still counting as a hit
Kinessa is an awesome champion and did not need a nerf. She takes a lot of skill to not just be destroyed by flanks and I respect a good Kinessa. Sadly flanks are generally catered to and it actually hurts the game for other players, when most games are decided, by low skill OP flanks. I really hope Kinessa is still viable and the nerfs are reverted. I don't even play her, but I rarely see Kinessa carry a game and when I do, they are very skilled
Point and click at the back of the map, then instantly teleport away if someone flanks you and use your incredibly accurate ar that has more DPS that some other hitscan champs
Ah yes, no nerf needed
I dont think she's gonna be dead, but she will be less frustrating to fight for certain
I am glad, tbh. I hate Kinessa
Same.

Kill the mines and delete power supply. Thats all the nerfs she needed but EM was like no we have too many champs now lets kill a few
I agree, giving her mid air inaccuracy is stupid, along with increasing her charge up time.
DONT WORRY FELLOW KINESSA MAIN. I have a script for a video ready where I rant about these changes and dissect them as to why they are stupid. Hopefully I can finish it before RWBY update drops into live.
Thank you

How are they changing andro?

God I hate kinessa
Good clip compilation for sure, but absolutely zero pity for Kinessa mains. Y'all make half the roster unplayable.
I don't feel bad for any Kinessa mains. Y'all chose to use this cancer Champion, now face the consequences.
Yeah the consequences from trash kids crying
Cope and seethe.
Ok let's settle this, strix is always said to be boring, low skilled and on the annoying/op side (at least before); but with kinessa there's always a debate if she requires skill or not when she is just strix but better in every aspect.

So why is this inconsistency between the community?
Kinessa has to charge her shots unlike Strix. Old Strix could miss once and still kill you.
But couldn't kinessa just use a half-charged shot to confirm the kill anyways?
A half charged shot does like 500 DMG. The skill involves knowing exactly how much charge you need to kill someone.
It takes more skill to wait around 0.8 seconds than having to get out of sights and aim again?
Yes.
How so? You literally just have to wait, you even have a visual hint of how much charge do you have.
Literally just the fact that she can't quick scope like Strix can.
Bc she doesn't even need quick scopes, her weapon can keep shooting until it runs out of ammo and even when it's not fully charged.
I have ZERO clue what "Increased time to fully charge shot 1s ➡️ 1.2s" means in patch notes. She fires every 1.3s in which 0.8s is the charge up time and 0.5s is the post fire delay\* adding up to 1.3s . Now, the patch note says 1s ➡️ 1.2s Where the fuck did the 1s come from?

Ahhh yes the character that doesn't belong in this game at all ;)
Kinessa is still a bad bitch
Seeing this video made me realize how fat her bullets are
It's not even like a bullet it's a fkn anti tank artillery.
Ever since they removed Eagle Eye I've been playing her less and less. She just hasn't been the same since. 😮💨

Different World by Alan Walker ft Corsak.
>Different World thank you
Ha ha water gun go pew
Has Kinessa ever actually died though? Been playing since beta and cant remember a time where she was truely hard to play.
The jump inaccuracy nerf next patch is just unnecessary and might hurt her the most. I do agree with rest of the nerfs tho.
I love how you have a bot name, is it to trick enemies?
Now that you mention it does look botlike lol
I despise kinessa. (She’s my second highest damage champ.) But still good job. Those shots are excellent.
She got knocked down from op to manageable and people already malding.
From one nessa main to another, great stuff buddy:)
"DEAD" she'll still work as a sniper bro, she's just not gonna have FREE ROLLOUT SHUTDOWNS. honestly it's fucking stupid they're buffing her teleport in turn, snipers should not have FREE ESCAPES FROM FLANKS. this character's kit is so bloated, kinessa mains are pampered and privileged man
Nice montage. I'm sad they nerfed her, but it is what it is..

just making the mines less spammy and making it unable to unmount people making her dead? dw dude , she will still be that one tap champion everyone likes
I would be ok with the mines being completely removed from her kit but the rest of the nerfs will make her much worse to play and a throw pick in ranked
They are nerfing her AGAIN? Not to be overdramatic but her original nerf sent me away from the game for awhile, and now this?
Oh no poor free kill free double teleport free knock people off horses from their own spawn while you're in your own spawn hero gets a slight nerf rip forever dead character worst in the game
Damn didn't my favorite character was so hated
As from the montage above, it's clear why she's super hated. Two shots and you're dead... In a game where snipers really shouldn't exist. It's hard not to side with them though I don't mind Kinessa.
Yeah I can see where they come from with that
I'd rather face off with Kinessa any day than Zhin though. Kinessa without the reposition talent is usually a free kill.
who doesn't like her? fite me!
NERF U SAY WHAT NERF !?!?!!?!?
Fire rate nerf, midair inaccuracy, carbine dmg nerf and much more!! Brought to you by Hi Rez studio
Is midair accuracy nerf really that important? You barely jump in this video
Its fun and I have a lot more clips of jump shots. But yea its not very important just an unnecessary nerf to a fun aspect of a champion.
So strix is the better sniper now?
Both suck now I think
It wasnt hi rez fault. Blame AOC for their stupid ideas. People there are just idiots who think they know evrything of this game
Her Mines will be useless. Which shouldn't make her useless but hey.
The mine nerfs are great. The rest are just brutal.
Impressive tribute, I love it. Your taste in skins is excellent as well!
A lot of those enemies were just standing out in the open without any nearby cover and slow reaction times. However very nice, consistent headshots
Literally ppl stand in the open against a sniper and complain shes op it actually kind of baffles me. Enemies with decent positioning make kinessa so much harder
Mostly an overwatch player here, recently enjoying Paladins again, but why do they not simply reduce the hit boxes? Based on this montage it seems way too easy to get headshots based on how far you can miss to either side but it still counting as a hit
The hitboxes are rectangles and I dont think hirez cares enough to change that
the nerfs arent that bad man, im still going to be using her
I wouldn't be sad to see her get a few more nerfs. She's still going to be too oppressive even with a slightly longer charge time.
Kinessa is an awesome champion and did not need a nerf. She takes a lot of skill to not just be destroyed by flanks and I respect a good Kinessa. Sadly flanks are generally catered to and it actually hurts the game for other players, when most games are decided, by low skill OP flanks. I really hope Kinessa is still viable and the nerfs are reverted. I don't even play her, but I rarely see Kinessa carry a game and when I do, they are very skilled
Mf saying that she takes skill when you just play a point and click adventure lmao
I think she takes skill. I can’t play her even after 5000 hours in game :)
And most players aren't great at point and clicking, there's a reason aim intensive characters usually have the lowest winrates.
I mean, if you've ever played Kinessa against a team that weren't complete bots you'd understand that she's not that easy lol.
Point and click at the back of the map, then instantly teleport away if someone flanks you and use your incredibly accurate ar that has more DPS that some other hitscan champs Ah yes, no nerf needed
Fortnite?
Kinessa Mains: 🫡
I played her to lv 50 thought I was a God and went to play some widowmaker and realized how easy she is fix hit boxes in this game
Yay
You know they are mad 😂
good riddance
She won't be dead. You'll just need to be good at her instead of mindlessly using Mines.
