Oh so it's totally fine to remove an element's main offensive (firejet) and give it nothing else? Fire would become pathetic as hell if that were to happen. And while chi can kill every element by blocking bending, it's pretty easy to just play keep away while using your bending to keep yourself save. (Especially air with airshield. I won't say that chi is 100% fine the way how it is now, though, because it's not)
I fixed that.
yeah but then you have to play as chi. Thats the balancing aspect there.
...does nobody see my posts?
chi can be as OP as it likes. The balance to being OP is noone wants to play it.
I wish that was true.
...it really can't. There's only so much you can do, limitations.
If chi hits air while it's above the ground, they auto die of falldmg. Because chi blockers would always do that in the series.
Lol, Chiblockers -aswell as any other element- get through airshield with EASE. By the way, where is the counter buff for walldmg? The config for walldmg is far more crippling because they can set it to just be straight off, setting air back to being weaker than every other element damage wise. Fall damage isn't even useful anymore because every element has a way to counter it easily. Where is the counter buff for that? Or what about that one measly damage combo air has, compared to fire or water. Air deserves better than this.
Read my posts, I fixed that.
Air is a powerful element. I don't knoe why you think it's underpowered.
Tell me then, how is something powerful when it lacks damage in all areas?
It doesn't lack damage. It's got velocity damage, normal damage, suffocating, fall damage. It's really not underpowered at all
Velocity is very configurable, and can be turned off, air has the least amount of damage moves of every element, suffocate can be avoided by the basic move of every element except chi. Falldmg is extremely easily oppressed (firejet, surgewall, roll ability with chi, earth and air falldmg passive). Air isn't as "op" as presumed.
I never said air was op, I just said it wasn't up.
Still, each element has a unique quality. Fire with its high damage output and combos, water with its (kind of) fluid movements and high advantage at certain times and in certain environments and healing, earth with high defence and constantly having the advantage of being in its environment, and last but not least, chi with its deadly close ranged combat abilities. What does air have that another element doesnt? Earth has close to the same fall passive, chi has the same speed passive, it doesn't have close to any defense (airshield is laughable, even chi can get through). Tell me, what does it have?
I'd say it's abilities have the best range. And veloctiy damage
Again, configurable and it's range is at best average.
I'd say that air has the best ranged abilities. And it has better movement speed overall. And being configurable doesn't diminish the overall value of velocity damage.
It does when it can be turned off, making it unreliable because it might not always be there, and speed wasn't purposely put in, but was more discovered through creativity, and speed just depends on your layout and reflexes, not the element. Airswipe, nor airsweep, nor suffocate, have a viewable advantage in range compared to other elements counter abilities.
