Okay for all you people screaming for Nightcap nerf; put a sock in it and learn how to aim, dodge or think.
75 health, 2 defensive/evasive abilities and one powerful offensive/defensive... depending on the usage. You know what that equates to? A ninja class. Just like you can find in any moba. They usually have lowest health but highest DPS or 1 powerful attack because they frankly need it.
I’m a Nightcap main and I’ve played since the (technical?) alpha. They already did a few changes to Nightcap and even then ppl were already pleading for nerfs. But why? Cause you ppl can’t land a couple of solid hits on that character?
Yes, if a person knows what they’re doing, it’s an extremely effective character, but guess what, so is basically any other. And before you start saying ‘a whole team filled with NC’s is OP’, if they’re good then yes. But have you seen a team filled with engineers? I have... it’s no joke.
It takes 1 charged shot from a Spyglass canon, 1 well placed Dynamite Escape, 1 charged shot from 80’s hero, one fully charged hero punch, 2/3 shotgun blasts from scientist and who knows what else to kill the character. I’ve been downed by things and was left wondering what happend because it went that quick. Dare tell me that you’ve had a similar experience going from full health to seeing a tombstone without you even being able to respond to it by NC! Even with Kung Fu that ain’t happening.
So next time you ask for the nerf, look at your own skills first

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.
