I always thought he was the coolest motherfucker, it's not my fucking fault that they made him blatantly more powerful than most

DVA is the absolute weirdest for being a tank that only has support skills and counts as an assassin in quick match. The only thing that would make her more perfect would be if you could get her pilot skills earlier in the game so she could play as a viable dps or support/specialist for the whole match.

That's not true at all. Tier whoring is just picking whoever is at the top regardless of who you actually like. If you choose who you enjoy playing and it just so happens to be top tier that isn't tier whoring.

Meh, I can see it both ways. Some people constantly tier whore and claim it is coincidence. It's frustrating for me as a person who actually plays characters he finds interesting because FGs have been hellbent on making the simplest characters the most OP recently.

>>378099893
If they're just claiming that then it's definitely tier whoring. But it's frustrating if you've liked Sagat since the 90's and people claim you just picked him because he was top tier.

Never any mention of you sticking with him long after his nerfs.
