Black Panther Season 9, is he actually OP
Short answer not really not by the numbers anyway but tell that to whoever just got deleted by one from behind
Season 9 swapped his health to 150 base plus 125 shield that refills after five seconds of no damage That's basically the same total he's had for a year now it just rewards diving in and bailing instead of sitting in fights which is honestly how he was always meant to be played
Win rate sits around 47 to 51 percent depending on the tracker so pretty average for a duelist and only about 1 percent of games even have someone playing him Most tier lists put him at A tier not S tier
He feels unfair because his dash resets off marked targets so good players chain it with barely any downtime and his passive gives him bonus damage under 100 health so he survives hits that should've killed him Once someone has your health pool memorized the kill looks instant
But the counters are real too his dash won't reset on shielded targets a stun or sleep shuts him down completely and he has no ranged options so focusing him the second he shows up usually wins that fight first
He's a skill check not a broken pick If someone's wrecking your games grab a shield hero or coordinate a stun instead of asking for a nerf
