Does Kitty really need a nerf?

Nope.
Easy to counter. Even with a 370 Grocket along, it's pretty easy to crush with Thorkoye. Rare wipes. It's actually harder to run Gritty with 100% success. A bad board can have you tile-less on a long match while you eat hits and damage with only a mid-range 4* with 20k life to help.
Bishop works well on his own with ANY team, he double dips on strikes, but you might as well say he makes DD or BSSM too powerful.2 -
She is fine, Rocket is the one that is broken, and the one that should be fixedAlexR said:NotBAMF said:

This. Gritty's a godsend for PvE. My clears have never been quicker! And PvE is so grindy that anything that speeds it up is much appreciated.As a 4* player with very little effective ways of dealing with it, I do auto-skip Gritty in Sim as much as possible though. (And Sim is 95% Gritty, it's very annoying.)Rather than nerfing Kitty or GRocket (who by themselves each aren't a problem and together improve PvE clearing speed), my personal wish would be that they'd buff Kraven with anti-Kitty properties. Countering meta GRocket teams is literally all he exists for. (And he's normally good at that too, except Kitty out-buffs his debuffs so he's not a good Gritty counter. Sadly, he's literally my best bet.) Wouldn't help the 5* side any, admittedly, but sure would make my 4* life easier.
But here lies the problem as not every one has a Gritty team, so this is giving an unfair advantage to those who have it, as the time to complete the nodes is basically the most important thing in PvE
Said that, I doubt they will nerf either of them0 -

Kitty in a bubble does not need nerfed. Rocket is the issue in the combo.I disagree with that unless you mean just in 5* PvP/MMR.I can assure you her passive is being abused in 3* PvP. This week 3* Daken and Blade are boosted and in 4* PvP I am seeing a *ton* of Kitty/Daken or Kitty/Blade teams (since they are boosted). Easy pickings for me in 4*PvP/MMR land with a champed Kraven (also boosted this week) but I imagine those combo's are every bit the terror in 3* PvP that Kitty/Grocket is in 5* PvP.As I mentioned above, change her passive to boost 4* and below specials at a reduced rate (33%) and you solve the problem in every tier without needing to nerf any other tiers characters while leaving her viable for future 5* teammates.KGB
I also highly doubt they try to code the game to distinguish strikes, attacks, or protects given by a 2*, 3*, 4*, or 5*.3 -

Yes you can wipe against it but......ok?0 -

Maybe someone has already said this already but it seems to me there's a fairly simple solution, besides a nerf. Gritty is only a problem in PVP, so why can't they just make a new 4* that has the same passive that BSSM has. We have Dazzler, yes, but she has tanking problems and the opposing Kitty starts taking away your Grockets strike tiles, which handicaps Dazzlers effectiveness also; and without his strike tiles Grockets pretty much a wet noodle on the team. Kraven somewhat works but he can't keep up with Kitty in a long match. If we have a 4* that neuters strike tiles or overwrites them passively, I think we would be just fine. Then the only complaint I have about Kitty is her purple damage. Doesn't she deal damage to SW, LC3, IF3 every turn if her purple is at 5 covers? If that's the case maybe they could make her Purple be a 2 turn countdown at 5 covers or significantly reduce the damage she gives when no tiles are on the board.0

I take defensive losses using Kitty and Grocket all the time. My Kitty is 461 I believe. The cast of characters that win against me are varied, I have seen BSSM, Thorkoye, Panthos, GE Doom and Lumbercap, DD, Black Bolt, etc.... Seems like the people who think she or Grocket need a nerf haven’t experienced playing with them, only against them.
There will always be top tier characters, not having them doesn’t warrant a nerf. Gambit was something else entirely.2 -
No she definitely doesn't. Neither does Rocket. Furthermore, I'm of the belief that no characters should be nerfed. If anything, other characters should be buffed to be more competitive. ( phoenix, BSS, Banner, Strange, Goblin, Star-lord, Silver surfer again, etc.) They should not have gutted OML and Gambit.0

Fortunately story mode doesn't force you to choose between peanut butter and jelly outside of essential nodes.0 -

Wouldnt it still be faster though to use thanos grocket and another guardian member. You should down your first opponent pretty quickly without the need for a kitty to be there buffing the strikes. I'm not positive though I have not really "run the numbers".0 -

Not saying it's not harsh... but those ARE 3* characters going against a 5*.0 -

Well then, perhaps my CL 9 bias is showing. Can't imagine giving up such a good source of Legendary tokens...0 -
