How can a champion be broken and easily countered by a new champion? I think you meant to say release a tough defender then after release a new champion to easily counter it.
@@rinoxpfitness9084because there’s over 250 champions across 7 rarities and if only ONE new champ counters him, that’s still considered broken. Don’t be stupid on purpose
I love how hypocrital Kabam is. They say Hercules Immortality is overtooned yet Serpents Death Immunity cannot be removed by a Special 3, and grants him Regeneration and Power gain.
as always a W rizz video by nagussy now time to name 21 defensive abilities serpent has 1. immunity to coldsnap 2. 90% reduced bleed duration 3. resist up 4. pierce 5. high healthpool 6. crit resist 7. undexable specials 8. counters evade 9. counters miss 10. stun immune during specials 11. extra attack rating per cul force charge 12. 125% death immunity 13. power gain 14. big heal 15. immunity to fate seal 16. fear debuff (counters juggy wuggy) :( 17. reduces power drain and burn potency by 60% 18. if opponent takes 0 damage from sp3, gains 2 bars of power 19. immune to heal block 20. immune to special and power lock 21. ability power rate cannot be reduced under 50% by non mystics clearly balanced
u forgot 3 more things too. -60% potency of ANY instant damaging effect, -60% crit penetration(ignores 60% less armour and resistances) which is different to crit resist, and that his immorality is also nullify/stagger immune
This is where as a community we gave to stick together and in the name of fairness, just decide amongst players that serpent is a perma ban in BGs for everyone.
The smallest nerf they could do to serpent is change his immortality to be like hercules, where you can bypass it using sp3 and this would make him a more balanced champion
Either death immunity needs to be able to be countered by Mystic champs. Or power gain tuned down. Even the bare minimum of only Neutralize champs being able to counter the death immunity would be better. Still not amazing cause you're gonna run into the same issues on Hazard Shift we already do with him. Not to mention all the metas that counter ability accuracy reduction.
Bro Kabam nerfed Hercules immortality not disappearing when hit by sp3, but Serpent still has a 25% chance get past most neutralize and isn’t removed by sp 3.
This meta proved that even with a good counter Serpent is tough to take down..my r2 kushala this meta cannot take him down without getting special 3..you can’t evade his special one because it becomes fail and the special 2 you can’t dex so you are stuck taking all that block damage but this is balanced with a good counter…
This definitely is the biggest L this year. Completely insane decision. If they go down this road and leave Enchantress as is Battlegrounds will be unplayable
While I didn’t have Onslaught I just banned him every battlegrounds fight and I didn’t fight him for months. And if you think Enchantress is that bad then it’s a skill issue
I'm honestly not surprised that serpent didn't get a tune down, based on the way kabam talks about him in pervious settings. Honestly the thing that surprised me the most is that destroyer didn't get his slow immunity taken away, which means he's still a bs fight on eb and flow intercept.
@@heckogoop4318 nah they havent been that relevant for the tactics but both being skill champs who are top skill unstoppable counters in the right meta you may get screwed. I use Titania anyway just intercept while invul up take the hits for the power and ruin him with sp2
i dont even think the RPG ask is fair in all honesty as its so specific but still doesnt fully counter him He counters Nullify and Stagger with Death Immunity, and is flat out immune to Power Lock. He reduces potency of the other power manipulation/management rpg elements like power drain and steal too But thats not all, even if you find a way to mitigate the power gain, through chavez or cage - this reduction is capped to 50% unless you’re using a mystic (so slashing available possible counters by 5/6) AND EVEN THEN his already reduced combat rate cant get reduced further This would be hell by itself, but with no perfect block or ability to evade the specials (NC aside) this is waaaay overtuned An absence or removal of RPG mechanics is not itself an RPG mechanic At least with Photon you can control and time it with skill
@@karagothshlomidabush3727 Such champ doesn't exist man, and we're talking about a champ that can counter serpent in all the metas, not just a luck one like the Absorbing Man in the last one. Besides the fact that he can activate his immortality even with stagger it's so broken that it doesn't makes sense
ngl we heavily considered banning 5 serpent counters against yall this season just for the hell of it. left only 1-2 remotely viable options but decided against it since it was risky. but the fact that targeting all bans toward a single non-tactic champ was even considered speaks volumes about how unbalanced he is
I believe the issue for me isn't actually serpent in general, I like him in war and probably fine in questing, but in BGs he's almost impossible to get a competitive score against, even with an effective counter he just takes so long to kill and does so much block damage it's near impossible, you can kill him sure, but doing it in a timely manner without taking too much damage for BGS? That's a very difficult ask in a draft based mode.
What's the specific skill needed for Serpent? He just needs a specific counter that's it! We're not stupid! Just so they can sell new counters they called him a fair champ wow! Just F off these guys
I’m very surprised and thought it was only fair to nerf his defensive abilities although as the owner of a rank 3 sig 100 Serpent I can’t say I’m too unhappy
"requires skilled gameplay" Ah, yes, tell me it requires skill while turning off my dexterity and granting him a pierce buff 👍👍👍 I feel Kabam are just completely out of touch at this point
It's one thing to make a really hard defender: bullseye, domino are too unfair because without the right counter you take a huge amount of damage. But Serpent is even worse. That crazy power gain, immortality ald all his stuff go crazy and even his few counters don't counter him that well. I'm sick of mystics that cand't do shit about kabam's favorite cosmics because they are immune yo everything
When the designer of Serpent thinks that serpent is a balanced defender but wants Juggernaut to be nerfed, you know that he’s talking out of his ass when he says anything about champion balance.
I feel like they're not thorough in their thinking, dropping a couple names of champs people need to counter him. It seems unprofessional or lacking a full depth of understanding of the reality and implementation not just the "theory" of the champion and countering him.
I think Shathra will be a direct counter if shes not then they really missed the ball on that one I can also see Count Nefaria being a counter to him even as a Science thatd be really cool to see.😊
I'm stepping out of BGs now that every account have all the broken defenders kabam released since last year. They were a pay to win for unskilled whales, and now they are available for every unskilled players.
They need to nerf the stupid dexing thing with serp. The only reason i take damage during the match is because of dex failure piled on with his kit an everything. Its so wrong imo, he needs a serious nerf
Well chavez, white tiger, Wiccan, and doom is great against his power gain ‼️ but not the death immunity so I don’t get it either unless sharta will counter his death immunity but other than that they should have adjusted the power gain or the regen he get when he activates death immunity
If serpent gets nerfed, then so should onslaught and maestro, but I don't see you talking about them. Just ban him and move on. If you're in war you know you have to bring a specific counter. Funny how everyone was crying about Hercules for so long, yet he was not even a good defender. Now that a new cosmic threat enters the game suddenly he's too much, he's ruining the game. Just ban him in bgs and bring your best counter for him in war... period. Just because you brought in wags against a serpent and died 50 times to make a video about Howard doesn't mean they need to screw over every single player who has already duped and r3 serpent. Remember when onslaught first came out? Every single person was crying, and now people just think he's annoying. Maestro has always been annoying, you have to bring specific counters for him as well. None of Serpents kit works in unintended ways. He's not breaking the game, last time I checked I can still log in and play content. I can still do every single thing I could before with Serpent in the game. Stop bringing in champions that are not good against serpent and then wondering why you can't beat him.
Like I said b4 Iv seen alot of players nuke Serpent with a few different characters for him to get nerfed hes a 5/5 defender probably the best we've gotten but everything in his kit is what makes him a great scary defender IMO it feels good when I get solos against him IMO ❤❤
Hot take, I’m glad he didn’t get nerfed. if I have to sit there and watch my defender get taken down in 30-35 by all the broken attackers y’all can fight my serpent

If you’re thronebreaker this means you’ve done no end game content like necro to carinas challenges, and definitely don’t place high in battlegrounds.

@@Nemesis-rb1jk You’d have to have some nodes and be twice as powerful as me , I’ve beating 100 thousand point champions with 4 star champions you have no idea what your talking about , my progress in the game has zero to do with skills obviously . Lol
@@Nemesis-rb1jk chavez doesn't do well against a rank 3 serpent boss, since he is stun immune. You need to take some block damage to land heavies and power control him
I'm sure English is your primary language. Now that you mention *plenty* of counters, name 10 of those plenty counters. 10 is roughly 5% of all playable characters, since you mentioned plenty 5% should barely be an inconvenience with those plenty counters in your head.
😂😂😂 he does not need to be rebalance or nerfed. He has counters already. I’ll never understand why people just have to cry about anything and almost everything.
Nobody here is complaining about him being too hard with an ideal counter. The problem is how much of a stall he is to get down even with those counters and the fact that if you don’t have one of them you’re almost guaranteed to lose.
You can literally choose just about any of the top mystic champs and go ham, there are tons of mystics that counter enough of his kit to make him an easy win with kushala being an absolute easy win. He’s been out for long enough for people to get used to how he plays and to know to pick any of the numerous counters. This is one of the very few skill issue complaints that I’ve heard from mcoc players. There is so much about the game that is total bs, but serpent is not one of them, take kushala into aw and ruin any serpent easily, draft a couple mystics in bgs and you’re good. I thought you were a higher level player than this.
Skill issue? He’s in celestial for a reason. Chavez is the only champ who can do consistently put up a good score against him just due to her power gain control. Kushala will still eat an sp3 if the ai is bad, and all neutralize champs (except rintrah) have a 1/4 chance for their neutralize to fail and for death immunity to trigger anyway. And if it does it’s an instant loss. Rintrah is safe but takes a year and a half since serpent has all that crit penetration resistance making the fight take forever. Not that rintrah ever crits anyway lol. Literally every celestial player I’ve seen thinks he’s bs and deserves a nerf. He’s by far the worst defender in the game.
@@Nemesis-rb1jk I almost never struggle against any of the R3 serpents I see with just about any semi-decent mystic. Maybe I’ve got the ai down, but idk, I usually get around 48,000-50,000 in most of my fights against him unless I’m actively playing dumb 🤷🏼♂️
This really depends on your definition of semi decent mystic. If 90% of your fights against him are with Chavez and Kushala that’s not exactly a fair test. Anything you don’t get one of those counters it’s just an L unless your opponent laughably screws up. He’s just not fair for competitive game modes.
@@Nemesis-rb1jk I mean I’ve used all kinds of mystics against him with relative ease, kushala and Chavez obviously, but I’ve also used the likes of juggernaut, symbiote supreme, rintrah, doctor doom, absorbing man, Wiccan, long shot, tigra, dormammu, hood, mephisto, diablo, ebony maw, Claire voyant, sassy, mojo, both scarlet witches, purgatory, spidey supreme, WWBN, and destroyer. I tried to make an extensive list, sorry the list is long. But yeah, that’s a large majority of the mystic class, and you’re nigh on guaranteed to get at least one if you have a few in the roster.
@@TheOGCooclall the champions you mentioned, he can still gain his death immunity against them. The point of his rant is the death immunity BS. Why 125% ability accuracy? Leave it at a 100%. Otherwise neutralise abusers will be left with a surprised pikachu face when it fails against his death immunity.
Nagase I've liked almost all of your opinions and I love you as a content creator but this is an L opinion. Serpent already has so many counters like tigra, kushala, white tiger, sorcerer supreme, wiccan and cgr in some cases. We don't need every champ to be equally balanced otherwise we're just gonna have pure nuke fests in bgs. If anything lower his immortality ability accuracy on defense to 100%
Ah yes, let’s listen to average Joe compared to a guy that literally gets celestial in every season. Who are you to question his knowledge on this bs character?
Hot take, I’m glad he didn’t get nerfed. if I have to sit there and watch my defender get taken down in 30-35 by all the broken attackers y’all can fight my serpent

You must not be fighting strong serpents
That’s because none of his abilities are skill based. If you bring a good counter like Chavez it’s an easy fight mechanically but still can be slow.
@@Nemesis-rb1jk chavez doesn't do well against a rank 3 serpent boss, since he is stun immune. You need to take some block damage to land heavies and power control him
I'm sure English is your primary language. Now that you mention *plenty* of counters, name 10 of those plenty counters. 10 is roughly 5% of all playable characters, since you mentioned plenty 5% should barely be an inconvenience with those plenty counters in your head.
I love seeing everyone complain about a champ just because they’re bad at fighting him 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 he does not need to be rebalance or nerfed. He has counters already. I’ll never understand why people just have to cry about anything and almost everything.
exactly. use some skill and bring a counter. im not complaining at all
Nobody here is complaining about him being too hard with an ideal counter. The problem is how much of a stall he is to get down even with those counters and the fact that if you don’t have one of them you’re almost guaranteed to lose.
You can literally choose just about any of the top mystic champs and go ham, there are tons of mystics that counter enough of his kit to make him an easy win with kushala being an absolute easy win. He’s been out for long enough for people to get used to how he plays and to know to pick any of the numerous counters. This is one of the very few skill issue complaints that I’ve heard from mcoc players. There is so much about the game that is total bs, but serpent is not one of them, take kushala into aw and ruin any serpent easily, draft a couple mystics in bgs and you’re good. I thought you were a higher level player than this.
Skill issue? He’s in celestial for a reason. Chavez is the only champ who can do consistently put up a good score against him just due to her power gain control. Kushala will still eat an sp3 if the ai is bad, and all neutralize champs (except rintrah) have a 1/4 chance for their neutralize to fail and for death immunity to trigger anyway. And if it does it’s an instant loss. Rintrah is safe but takes a year and a half since serpent has all that crit penetration resistance making the fight take forever. Not that rintrah ever crits anyway lol. Literally every celestial player I’ve seen thinks he’s bs and deserves a nerf. He’s by far the worst defender in the game.
@@Nemesis-rb1jk I almost never struggle against any of the R3 serpents I see with just about any semi-decent mystic. Maybe I’ve got the ai down, but idk, I usually get around 48,000-50,000 in most of my fights against him unless I’m actively playing dumb 🤷🏼♂️
This really depends on your definition of semi decent mystic. If 90% of your fights against him are with Chavez and Kushala that’s not exactly a fair test. Anything you don’t get one of those counters it’s just an L unless your opponent laughably screws up. He’s just not fair for competitive game modes.
@@Nemesis-rb1jk I mean I’ve used all kinds of mystics against him with relative ease, kushala and Chavez obviously, but I’ve also used the likes of juggernaut, symbiote supreme, rintrah, doctor doom, absorbing man, Wiccan, long shot, tigra, dormammu, hood, mephisto, diablo, ebony maw, Claire voyant, sassy, mojo, both scarlet witches, purgatory, spidey supreme, WWBN, and destroyer. I tried to make an extensive list, sorry the list is long. But yeah, that’s a large majority of the mystic class, and you’re nigh on guaranteed to get at least one if you have a few in the roster.
@@TheOGCooclall the champions you mentioned, he can still gain his death immunity against them. The point of his rant is the death immunity BS. Why 125% ability accuracy?
Leave it at a 100%. Otherwise neutralise abusers will be left with a surprised pikachu face when it fails against his death immunity.
Nagase I've liked almost all of your opinions and I love you as a content creator but this is an L opinion.
Serpent already has so many counters like tigra, kushala, white tiger, sorcerer supreme, wiccan and cgr in some cases. We don't need every champ to be equally balanced otherwise we're just gonna have pure nuke fests in bgs. If anything lower his immortality ability accuracy on defense to 100%
You don’t know shit. Nagase gets consistent celestial placement in bgs who are you to question his knowledge about the game mode lmao
None of these champs can counter that block damage (besides Kush Kush) and Tigra you need absolute perfect gameplay otherwise she's useless
Ah yes, let’s listen to average Joe compared to a guy that literally gets celestial in every season. Who are you to question his knowledge on this bs character?
@@cloudstrikkee1263don't question him goddamn it he has a point
@@warfamegamingChavez doesn’t take much block damage from him
Hot take, I’m glad he didn’t get nerfed. if I have to sit there and watch my defender get taken down in 30-35 by all the broken attackers y’all can fight my serpent
