should buzzwole be nerfed or reworked?

I think the thing that actually needs nerf is the overwhelming cc in this game that allows certainly comps to completely deny anything u might try to do by clicking a few buttons.. there’s literally no skill involved in stunning someone to death.

I think that his lack of range and decent mobility prevent him from being broken, he might be strong in very close range but he can have a good amount of counters with long range pokemon so is not like mewtwo or zacian that can chase or apply slow to reach you

These kinds of games feel absolutely frustrating from enemy's pov, especially if you are playing attacker or speedster...this body builder mosquito just keeps tossing you here and there until you are dead and you can't even do much about it...and suddenly this mosquito becomes so over leveled that you need a full team to kill it...i have faced this situation so many timea

Buzz is such a starve or feast character where he is either stomping the game or doing absolutely nothing the whole match.

The crowd control in the game nowadays is absurd😢😢

Cc needs a damn nerf across the board. Im so tired of being ahead only to get stun locked from 100-0 because you literally can't do anything. And full heal is the only thing but it keeps getting nerfed for some reason. CC is a joke right now but timi loves to add it to every little shit 😂

I think leave as he is, because when draft mode is up and people start putting full heal when they see Buzz and Trees it probably balances itself out

I really feel for that espeon just getting thrown all over the place and can't even do something about it

Its late game is still terrible if you are behind. If you just win your lane at the very least, he is very strong.

You see buzzwole picked quite often in tournys. Hes a good mon for sure but i believe to really shine he needs a good team. The short range on his attacks keeps him balanced.

He'll be nerfed once picks and bans come in. Not by anything on him in particular, but because people will know to bring Full Heal.

Buzzwole main here, 1700+ matches and 58% overall WR Buzzwole needs a rework on two moves: Leech Life and Smackdown Leech Life: It's a move that literally self stuns Buzzwole in place, can get full healed DURING animation and cancelled by every single type of CC in the game Smackdown: It shouldn't give muscle gauge, not saying it's OP or anything, because it isn't lol But Buzzwole is all about getting charges overtime (Basic attacks) and Smackdown straight up ignores that requirement for such high CC which can indeed be bullshit in a 1v1 (It is beatable, I can beat it with Lunge/Superpower so git gud) That said c'mon people, Trevenan exists, it provides more value in a team fight, has more sustain and has area CC on the same level as Buzzwole, get your priorities together... Also no, I don't use Smackdown/Superpower, it's an ass moveset that can only be exploited by 5 stacks cause of coordination and only works on bad soloq players... I play Lunge/Superpower, much better moveset that actually brings some value to team fights by reducing movement speed and 30% DMG reduction, making yourself and your shield tankier, it also gives DMG increase at lvl 13 which makes your self healing on boosted basics extremely good (Seriously this is the most overlooked aspect of Buzzwole and it's amazing)

They lost because their blissy didn't know what she was doing. If She would have gotten safeguard, the game would have gone in a whole different direction. Blissy's out there. If u see the following pokemon on the enemy team, go safeguard: buzzwhol, sabeye, trevenant, umbreon, and zazian. Your team will thank u for it.

buzz is in a good spot not picked to often great for targeting attkers or cc tanks or healers as an all rounder should be

Its strong, but for it to be actually useful in the late game it needs stacks in the early game. Superpower might need a small nerf damagewise along with the reset but otherwise its pretty balanced.

This the first time ill say this video title is crazy. Their inteleon and dragapult playing mid to close range against a buzz with eject button, espeon not playing aggressive with passive up and does the opposite with it down. If a buzzwole is able to grab you and your a ranged attacker, thats completely on the attacker. Either you got outplayed via eject combo or you had poor spacing.

Strong early game is a cool niche. He just gets destroyed by CC and if they ever add team preview and bans he will get counter picked every time. It is not like a character beats him, just any CC.

I like Buzzwole being strong, but I do think SuperPower could use maybe a cooldown nerf by a second or two. And maybe a slight Smackdown damage nerf. I’d just hate to see it go back to how bad it was when the new map first released.

Machamp and buzzswole could use some rebalancing

NO! NEVER NERF BUZZWOLE Let them suffer for calling him weak on release

Alternative title: I stole all of the enemy farm, and made them cry..

He's amazing but I think him being strong is necessary to keep the balance of some other pokemon. Some pokemon would be really strong is buzz didn't keep them in check.

Superpower buzzwole is the Pokémon that got me into masters, it's terrifying how much this one buff bug can do

As a Buzzwole main, nah. Nerfs would only make Buzz closer to unplayable. His moves are devastating only because they're hard to pull off, especially in the latest few seasons where range and mobility have been so prevalent. So many things have to be in your favor to succeed, otherwise it's an uphill battle for Buzz, especially late game. If any of your moves miss, you're done.

Idk Buzzwole seems unfair and unhealthy to play gaainst so much CC and damage with such low CDs and resets? the short range is only thing that balances it

honestly i pair buzz with life leech + the stuns are good + it heals you a lot + it deal a lot of damages + basically 1v1 tide turn if you hits the life leech

All of Buzzwole's moves need to be shorter to cast imo. Just cut the animations in half and leave the damage as it is. It would make the stuns shorter and less horrible to fight against and it would make Buzzwole feel smoother to play.

I feel Buzz is kind of in a good place. It is an all rounder that doesn’t evolve. It doesn’t have good access to unstoppable so being chained CC’d with the low hp pool (on the all rounder scale) can be what causes you to miss your ability or get Ko’d. It is a Pokemon with bar management that somewhat functions like how I wish Garchomp’s auto attacks worked. I don’t feel like the CC is too much with all the unstoppable and keep away functions going on in the game. In a 1V1 situation (if Buzz has full passive) if he misses a super power he might lose the 1 V1 do to being squishy, being kept away at range, or being stunned and struggling to get his gauge back up. For an all rounder that doesn’t evolve he has a good early game, an awkward mid game (where you are stuck with mega punch still), and a much needed lvl 13. I feel like for some players if Buzz gets ahead it feels like he can snowball. So if you need the scaling on fell stinger that would hurt his early game. That could help but, honestly being ahead a Buzz is one of the only reliable ways to deal with (both) Mewtwos as well as deter some Pokemon from trying to brawl you. Like for Mewtwo specifically you kind of need to have an effective early game to keep the down as long as possible before they get mega evolution and moves. Besides a nerf to the early game I feel that buzz is more than fine. He is kind of a slow character who isn’t all that clunky. His value comes from being ahead so he can execute enemies back to back or moving enemies into your team in a team fight. I don’t see an issue with a Buzz with a fully charged passive using both of his abilities with a few autos to kill a squishy. As basically all other all rounders have this in their kit. Some have mobility options or unstoppable when they do this. For Buzz he is a slow guy without unstoppable. So there are ways to deal with him. It is sort of different if you are a squishy in a teamfight as buzz might sneak up on you but, he can still miss his move. All and all I would rather see other all rounders brought up (for the most part) than see any nerfs to Buzz besides like his early game or maybe his level 6-8 stats. There are other all rounders that could use some love (as well as defenders). To deal with a Buzz use keep away and CC to make it so he can’t hit his moves before he gets KO’d as he doesn’t have many options as he is squishy for an all rounder. Also some people suggest if you don’t want Buzz to take your farm early to stay on top of him so his fell stinger misses the farm. If you are a squishy Pokemon do this at your own risk. As a fully charged fell stinger is like half your health and if you are alone Buzz might mess around and try to KO you on goal. If he hits a 2nd fell stinger he can do it too.

Thanks cris for playing my favorite pokemon

Whenever I play Buzzwhole the Enemy team is All Ranged , also they have a healer Support and we Don't so its doesn't ho this well

Together with garchomp the other mon that needs a rework IMO...

Great video, some weird guy in the bottom left corner kept talking through the gameplay

Damn...very gentle tone "ok Lapras" *ejects forward to smack it and KO*

If you’re not a far reach attacker he shuts down everyone he stuns too much and immobilizes and tanks enough to do it multiple times in battle

Just now I played a game of Buzzwole in Expert class 2, I fucking steamrolled and got 32 kills… all I knew is that I got 2 kills at the start and got 4 attack weight stacks and the rest was history, I literally 1v7ed and the only reason the gardevoir on the other team even got to level 14 (which was their highest) is because they finally killed me while I was living in their goal

Idk what to do with buzz tho be honest I feel like even a little sneeze (buff or nerf) could make it either broken or bad since it might stun a lot and deal's a lot of dmg but u also have one of the worst mobility and least range moves in the game so yeah no idea what to do with it.

It’s funny how we all wanted buzzwhole buffs when it was bad and then timi went over the top and now we want a nerf😂

Buzzole slowly became the best all rounder😮

Fighting Lapras and a healer is the definition of a very stoppable force vs unmovable wall

Cris do you know u can smack down enemy behind wall...very useful if u see enemy across the wall

The last Buzzwole changes they did were not needed But everyone said he was weak So we are left with this evil He was never weak (aside from Leech Life being easily broken... Maybe for good reason). Most just didn't play around the enemy match-up

very strong buzzwall, or very weak opponents, in fact only espeon inflicted damage with an auto attack, it is still unknown what the dragapult did

Swole is feast or famine. If you have no stacks, opponents have a clef, you're against stun city like blizzard A-9/surf blastoise, or everything is so hypermobile you can't always combo.. He struggles. But if you can bully early lane and get 4-6 stacks, there's a melee range character that needs to stand by you to do anything, you can roll. I think that makes it fine. It definitely can feel bad if you're countered by him, but that's basically how the game is without visible drafts. However if you get 0dmgbuzzwole in your game, it definitely feels like it needs a buff because that person is useless and deserves to be grief IP banned :)

This mon is hard to deal with in solos but in crowd its just meh. It just stay like that because of its low range, low mobility and mid unite move… The second this bug miss superpower or smack down in crowd hes already prepared his funerakl

They should make it after 2 stuns you become immune to CC for 1 or 2 full seconds. Or immune to the 3rd stun.

I think he’s fine because he has a decent amount of counter play. If he absolutely needed to be nerfed, perhaps make the duration you’re cc’d with Smack Down a little less.

superpower now can do additional damage to unstoppable passive/status makes this even more broken!

Buzzwole imo needs to be completely reworked Fighting the thing feels so unfair at times as it permastuns you and it gets to kill off of that

The curse of the melee Pokemon. They have to be overbuffed for the regular players to do anything with them, then the decent and good players are able to abuse their overbuffed state.

Buzzwords early game needs to be nerfed but its late game is still bad which balances him out so if we nerf early we need to buff late, I think we should nerf the damage of superpower and cooldown of smackdown but increase the power of superpower+ and return the cooldown of smackdown+. I think leach life and lunge need to be buffed a fun way could be give them both unstoppable during the movement of it.

They could just revert the gauge gain buff they gave to smack down

9:05 I donno who is flexing, Cris or Buzz ??!!

It does too much damage and cancels all my moves at the same time. It’s so annoyinggg

if i ever use buzzwole and built for dmg it's downhill can't even kill one enemy at most because i get 1v5'd most of the time ( just my day 😮‍💨)

It should be nerfed, the short range and speed doesn’t justify the damage and knock ups he can do. But I don’t want to nerf him to the ground, just nerf his shield for super power and slight damage nerf but add a slight def or Hp buff. But really what they should buff is full heal. With draft mode coming, if we can prep full heal then the damage Buzz does is kinda nullified, since you can just move away now instead of being stunlocked.

I love Buzzwole but I keep getting bullied and ganged up on

"Nah, I'd nerf Full Heal." - TiMi.

Try it with attack weight, charging charm and resonant guard.

Dude i was streaming last night and was able to GET NOTHING DONE against buzzswole too much dmg for all the cc nerf the dmg but keep the cc make him someone that relies on a partenr for kill secure

ally tsareena’s username.. iykyk 😮‍💨

Sure, gotta gut one of the few really fun-to-play builds in the game

what should i buy blaziken or buzzwole i'm really confuse

I don't think he needs to be touched. I like him how he is. Sure, he's powerful especially close range, but his lack of mobility and short range prevent him from being busted/OP. Also, his late game isn't good if he's behind. Maybe give Smack Down a small damage nerf, and Super Power a cooldown increase by 1 or 2 seconds.

Hey should I buy mew,blaziken or zacian (I am atk type user my best mons are greninja,cinderace and scizor)

Buzz needs a complete rework, any pokemon whos kit is based around cc (sableye, dodrio, ninetails, zoroark) all just need reworks or they should make the chain stuns impossible to hit

Buzzwole is one of the reasons I love playing Clefable. Every time I get to make a Buzzwole's life miserable I feel a little better inside (I am also one of those demonic god complex Clefable players. Fight me and my Ray-stealing flys and hyper beams)

Is float stone better than weakness policy or cookie?

Tip (you may already know about this) but you can stand on top of the farm and fell stinger will always hit you over the farm

it needs a bump nerf and a rework to the leech life and lunge. buzz is both fun and balanced.

Bro lirally like randoms are so bad now a days .like I am losing every game l play .pain of solo q 😢

I literally just bought buzz yesterday lol 😂 literally perfect timing

i hate going against buzzwoles, it needs to be nerfed, it stuns twice and is basically a one shot combo. Machamp too, also just stun, explosive damage, and you can’t run away from it. both need to be nerfed.

They need to make safeguard viable again

Buzzwole was bad for so long I don't want it to be touched

hiting stored powers is really hard

i don’t like the change where you don’t have to spin to hit unstoppable targets anymore, and i hope that gets reverted. other then that yeah i’m gonna say it needs nerfs, and all my effort grinding it to gold so i’d have it mastered for competitive is wasted lmao

Buzzwole is probably one of the funniest pokemon to play as

would charging charm work on buzzwole?

Am i the only one who feels bad using buzzwole? It pains my heart slamming eevees to the ground lmao

Bro u think buzzwole overpowered but in solo q never got defender or support 😢

As a Buzz main all I can say is I don't want nerfs but I wouldn't be mad about them. Atleast they should nerf the Superpower interaction with unstoppable targets. Now this move is way more skillless

Please play machamp

Crowd control abilities need a nerf in general,you are constantly getting stunned,literally every character in this game has a primary stun which is stupid Only mons who lack the damage output should get crowd control abilities

You try in buzzwole smack down And leech life

Their late game seems good says the guy with Tsareena, Eldegoss and Dragapult in his team, the best non legendary pokemon in terms of highest win rates in the entire game with a slowbro. Cmon why do you want to nerf the only all-rounders that feels good, that does atleast something, you want to make buzzwole completely useless. What can it do when it faces umbreon and Clefable gravity, I do not think much, I think Buzzwole is completly fair when you see mons like A9, Clefable, umbreon, atleast Buzz's stun is not ranged like A9, your full heal and eject can literally make it lose its move, I do not think Gravity vanishes with full heal from the ground.

They can nerf the defences, its a psuedo tank

What is the buzzwole combo?

They should just undo the last tiny buff they gave him around the time of his battle pass.

We have a nerf for Buzzwole! It's called Clefable, Full Heal, Unstoppable Moves, and interrupts.

Is buzzwole better than azumarill or not?

Good thing they nerfed full heal....

Is drain crown buzzwole good

Buzzwole mains disagrees CC moves take care buzzy boi easily buzz good but not busted anything with bulk and CC takes care of him at the top my head ninetails mean look trev slowbro sometimes Scizor who’s basically the wall to any and all attack all rounders

No nerfs, let Buzz be the reason soloQ randumbs learn the hard way not to play potion Pika/Espeon/Delphox etc

More buzzwole content please

Bro urshifu my fav. Pokemon will be buff

Superpower need to be nerfed to work the same way as Leech Life,where you can get out of it with an eject button

I just bought buzzwole yesterday and my avg damage is around 40-45k. Any tips to get better at Buzzwole?

This Pokémon is disgustingly toxic it’s not ok
