After selling a million copies in two weeks, Megabonk faces a challenge with its overpowered hero, Robinette. Developer Vedinad has taken to Reddit to discuss the pros and cons of nerfing the character who is breaking the game's leaderboards.
Transcript
00:00Megabonk's creator has asked the community about nerfing Robinette,
00:03with the eternal struggle being that she's broken, but she's also really fun.
00:09Megabonk has become one of the biggest hits of the year, selling one million copies within two
00:13weeks. After its leaderboards were compromised, Megabonk is back with a new patch. But if you
00:19look at the game's new leaderboards, you'll notice a trend. In the top 10 performances in the world,
00:25eight of them use the character Robinette, who has the stonk's passive ability. This ability gives her
00:31a 1% gold gain per level. However, the real power is in the damage increase the character gets by
00:37having gold in their inventory. So by the endgame, you can become a beast. In a post on Reddit,
00:44developer Vedenad asked, what are your thoughts on Robinette? My initial thought is to nerf the
00:49passive late game so it doesn't scale beyond all other characters. But despite being an obvious
00:54favourite, Vedenad said, I don't really want to nerf her because it's fun AF, but that leaves us with
01:00probably an undisputed character and a character that will always dominate the leaderboards.
01:06Vedenad said, while they can buff all other characters, it would require all other characters
01:12to be buffed with some insane passive that can match Robinette, which will probably throw
01:16all balancing out the window. That's not a balancing patch I can do overnight.
