So if Raider isn't OP... | Forums

How come i go positive with him literally every Dom match?

Seriously, my higest rep is Cent at Rep 6 (and i haven't touched him for ages) i can play whatever hero i want (since MM changes) and lose every match. I pick Raider and i win 90% of the time. He'a not only great at clearing Midzone, but also at killing.

I'll be the first to admit im just a "mediocre" player. Yet im stomping people with Raider. wtf is going on here? If he's not OP, then how come he's the only hero i can easily win 1v2's with?

It's just you, just listen to what every raider main will tell you when talking about this topic.
The character is fine, you're just really good.

i can tell that i can magically defeat someone with raider but not with anything else, i must be really good too

[Sweaty_Sock]

Raider is broken due to his excessive damage and he is among the easiest heroes in the game to deal damage without usage of great skill

This, the 40 damage heavies are way over the top damagewise when coupled with stunning tap and softfeint mixups & hyper armour chains....

[Vakris_One]

His top heavy is 45 and chained zone is around 65 ish. He needs a damage nerf asap but Ubi doesnt seem to care and thats hurting the community

Chained zone is 50. Ubi hasn't issued any kind of statement on Raider's current state. There hasn't been any significant outcry about Raider after the update that removed his dodge GB. For the most part the community is getting on and dealing with Raider as he is.

Dont hold your breath waiting for hero changes.

[TheUberDome]

They dont want to balance this game, no matter how many posts people make about raider, they wont change him. So might as well give up hope now.

Wow guys all you gotta do is just make the correct read every time and parry a 333ms attack so you can do less damage than Raider does by simply letting the side heavy land. We can't take a single damage point away from Raider or he'll drop into C tier for duels.

[ArchDukeInstinct]

If damage makes a hero viable alone then that shows lack of skill. He wont drop C tier he will be A tier

But but but but but how are Raider mains supposed to make up the missing point of damage?

Don't you understand how long Raider mains have been waiting to go from already really good in 4v4 to even better and you want to take that away from them?

[Amerikanovich]

Again if damage makes a hero viable then that aint skill. Raider mains can still be viable after his excessive damage is toned down

I think you're missing the joke...
