Discussion about BiBi

Alright, so a lot of people seem to know what BiBi's weakness is, but don't quite realize what kind of impact BiBi could do if she is buffed on this department.

So, BiBi is run it down tank with a fast reload speed, a star power that gives insane mobility and another that already hightens her already high survivabilty and good damage. So, what's her weakness? Her windup. People can either get out of her range while winding up or straight up just dodge it while going out the other side of her attack. So simple, we buff her windup. Well, no. Not simple at all.

Bibi is an extremely overtuned brawler in terms of stats and she is fundamentally broken. If you buff her 1 weakness, then you'd break the game. To put it into perspective: BiBi has 9600 health, a star power that gives her a 20% shield (which gives her 11,520 health, which is a lot), she has a hypercharge that charges really fast and also gives her a 25% shield, so her already high health becomes even higher while hypercharged (14,400 with batting stance and hypercharged. To put that into perspective, that's almost much as a sponge Frank), she has 2,800 damage per shot and i am not mentioning the elephant in the room, which is vitamin booster. Vitamin booster has to be the most fundamentally broken thing in her kit. And this is couming from a brawler who has a 45% shield while hypercharged. Vitamin booster is a gadget that heals 10% of BiBi's health over 4 seconds, so she gets 3840 health from 1 gadget. This is way more than most heals and for a brawler with this high of a survivability, this is just overkill. And all BiBi players will be using the gadget gear, so you will have 4 insane heals a game.

A lot of you don't see the problem with BiBi, but I'll give you this example. Do you remember saber mode buzz lightyear? Ofcorss you do. He left a day ago. He quite litterally broke the game. Was his HP higher than BiBi's? No. Was his survivability higher than BiBi's? No. Was his. Damage per ammo higher than. BiBi's? Nope. He had 8400 health, 2400 damage (I'm pretty sure it was nerfed) and only a single dash gadget with a Surge super. Yet he was better because of his lack of a windup. You see, if you buff Bibi's windup, you'd make a meta more toxic than all 3 of Buzz's forms ever were.

So what's the best option for BiBi? Well, I'd nerf her survivability and let it take a hit, so a windup reduction wouldn't make her OP. Those are the changes I'm proposing: Health goes from 9600 to 8600 (same as Fang) Batting stance shield goes from 20% to 15% Hypercharge shield goes from 25% to 15% Vitamin booster heal duration goes from 4 seconds to 3 (heal is reduced from 3840 to 2880) Windup goes from 0,6 seconds to 0,4 seconds (i thought at making it 0,3 seconds, but that might break her, since her survivability is still relatively high even after the nerfs i gave her).

Tldr: BiBi's survivabilty is insane, so if we buff her windup without proper nerfs, then she'd break the game same as saber buzz lightyear, who had lower stats than her.

Thank you for reading this post, and if you have any other changes you'd do or any opinions about this post, feel free to share them in the comments.

Tldr (balance changes): she has 8600 health, 15% batting stance shield, 15% hypercharge shield, vitamin booster is now 3 ticks (2880 healing) and her windup is 0,4 seconds.
