    Almost every time I q up for 1v1 legends, I run into a Circe. She is being way over used. Mainly her teleport/pet ability is op. Is she going to be nerfed?

    She's not that annoying. She has low hp and easy to ground. The only time she is annoying is when she spamming from the air.

    I hope so.

    She's not even that OP o.0

    I know she is not. Never said she was.
    She is the only character capable of escaping counter punishment, and since the DoT nerf she was indirectly buffed.
    Though all I am asking is a CD increase, power increase or just not allow it to break out of counters.

    This is why I do not understand what Jens Anderson ment by Circe being "The least popular legends character they have released" People talk about her on the forums everyday, and I see at least like 6 (aside from myself) everyday. She was my favorite character even before she was a legends character, now people love her because of 1. Her ability to teleport out of counters 2. Ability to have two 'pets' attack your opponent 3. Ranged AOE's and 4. Hand Blasters.
    It seems like people love her because obviously she has good powers, and yet Jens at SOE Live Legends says that data showed that She was least popular and least used character they have released, Where is this "Data" coming from?

    It's probably coming from the same data that said rage WM dps is the lowest on the totem pole...

    As a Circe user I would really, really like to know why. She's not even that bad. I was invited to a Legends Tournament by someone I met in game who I fought against in a Scrimmage but my point is, some Circe suck some are experts. I don't think she needs to be nerfed. If anyone effin Robin needs to be nerfed lol

    I respect your opinion, but completely disagree. Robin is the epitome of balance, and the only thing that needs to be adjusted is her blink. Needs longer cooldown, higher power cost, or inability to be used after a hard stun, just as Sabigya said. Not a nerf, more like a balance.

    Don't get me wrong, I would purchase her for the fact that she wins matches which are attributed to her being able to teleport, have adds out etc. I just don't want to waste my loyalty points/marketplace cash on a legends character that is just going to get nerfed. A perfect example of this is steel. As soon as I found out that he was op, I purchased him. When I had steel and learned how to use him there were very few people that could beat me 1v1. Enough people finally got fed up with him enough that the devs nerfed him. Now steel is completely worthless compared to how he used to be. That's why I want to know if Circe is getting nerfed. If she is I won't buy her. But if she isn't, I wouldn't mind purchasing her. Fight fire with fire.

    Probably just looking at sales, I imagine it's easy for them to look at how many people have purchased the different characters. Circe is apparently the lowest-selling. But since she is powerful you run into her alot more than a Superman, even though alot of people have him they choose others in battle.

    "People talk about her on the forums everyday" - The Op is talking about her. Doesnt mean he brought one.

    " I see at least like 6 (aside from myself) everyday." - How many matches do you do every day ? Are those 6 different people ? How often do you see the other Legends, comparing to Circe ?

    Oh, no mention of the view? How dare ye.

    Or when someone is very good at Hand Blasters and close quarters combat. She is nearly unstoppable when you meet someone like this.

    thats funny....you say she is being way over used but it was announced at SOE that she was the lowest selling legends character to date...sales so bad that they mentioned they are not planning on making future female legends for a while.

    She is the least unlocked or purchased.
    Superman is the most unlocked or purchased
    Y
    Has no result on use or how often people who know how to play a character choose to play that character.

    I trust the sales and unlock date as if effects the bottom line.

    Robin is easily one of the most balanced character along with Batman.
    The only problem I have with Circe is that her teleport power has a extremely low cooldown and can be used as a measure to avoid counter punishment. It was not a problem long ago, due to you being able to stick a DoT on her and burn her down, however since the DoTs were nerfed due to that Circe is now a top tier legend.
    I still propose an idea of her teleport power being.
    • Increased in Cooldown
    • Increased in Power cost
    • Or remove the ability to breakout of counters [Stuns are fair game].

    Who is the current FOTM and who is the most popular character are 2 different things.

    If you take 2 people who know nothing about the effectiveness of characters in legends and show them that they could buy Superman, one of the most iconic superheros of all time, or Circe, someone who most people have never heard of, they'll go for Superman first based on the recognition.

    Does it also provide damage prevention or am I way off base here?

    Her cool downs and power consumption are a little on the OP side. You can clear the tray and have enough power to do more than just break out, unlike Dr. Fate. I clear Fates tray and I'm in the negative on my power bar.
