Essay incoming.

Before the update, Clancy was hovering around F, maybe D tier. Since this update? Worst brawler in the game right now and it's not even close. Before the changes, he had a niche in ranked, a viable counterpick against multiple aggro brawler. The recent change removed his niche, and without any niche, Clancy will quickly fall into irrelevance, and become forgotten.

To clarify, the recent balance changes Clancy received was 1 less token to stage 2, and a partial revert to the damage nerfs in lower stages a while ago. However, he also got a big nerf, 16 -> 12 super projectiles, to make matters worse, his super projectiles now share damage frames, meaning the most you can hit on a single brawler is now just 6 from 16, a 166% decrease. Clancy has always been reliant on his super, and his damn super got boiled and buttered to hell and back.

His super charge rate has also been nerfed to 9/9/8 from 8/7/6 for some reason, but i'm going to assume that is a bug since Colette has the same problem as well, and neither were mentioned in the balance changes.

This change made Clancy less toxic, but he no longer has that niche as being a late pick tank counter, there is now no purpose in playing him. Waiting until the next balance changes isn't enough, he needs a buff right away.

My idea as a start to buff Clancy is a significant buff to his earlier stages. He's basically a pylon in stage 1 and 2, and not a threat. One step would be to make damage consistent across all stages, being 1600 and also having a scr of 6 as well.

I'm surprised Supercell decided to gut Clancy when Pierce legit only got a slap on the wrist.

Clancy really needs an emergency buff.
