The Problem With Banshee And Why She Is Not So Popular =((

[xXHunterzzzXx]

Hi all, my name in game is xXHunterzzzXx, and i'm playing warframe since it was released on pc for free. Banshee was actually my second warframe after Ember which i bought and she was my favourite frame( Valkyr too ^^) But now i tried to play with her and she's not really so good basically the only good skill she has is sonic boom cause it's cheap AoE control. Other skills are not useful really previous year when she was released her ult was amazing cause she was immune but now when you ult you basically die even with a maxed ranged lol. Sonar hmmm... but really now it has a bug where it doesn't cast at all. The damage it gives is good especially in late game but lol you will shoot and aim those spots marked when you can just shoot without aim and kill. Silence well the ability is bad cause the stealth which it provides is S#&$.. the only use of this ability is infested defense cause it stuns, but lol why you need stun when you can use ult or sonic boom. This frame has overall low armor and shields and hp making it squeshie. If we take example Zephyr she is basically really like rhino lol :DD Cause she has mobility , she has crowd control,she has 3 skill which grants her good defense(lol late game iron skin),and the 2 skill just for fun (the only plus of that skill is when you combine it with heavy impact that is hilarious):DD But overall i think Banshee now is one of those frames which needs a buff like Saryn cause she is a very hard to play frame. Especially in survival 4 where she is just 5 shots and dead and you can't even do anything with it. I hope de will think about what to do with here and make her a better frame which can be compared with frames like Valkyria,Zephyr,Nova,Rhino etc..                        Thanks for reading sorry for errors cause i'm Russian and it's not so easy to write in non native language hah :D What you think about banshee does she need buff ?

pls edit, and press ENTER a bit more.....

 

And Banshee is a Stealth/CC warframe, she is not made to deal damage, I think that is why she is not as popular...

No, shes fine, one of the only frames that actually require some skill, and with her recent changes shes an CC master. Especially with her toggle #4.

 

max she needs is a tweak or two to her powers, but nothing much.

[OverlordMcGeek]

definetly a buff is what she deserves and a complete work around on all her abilites except her 1st

[VioDuskar]

She JUST got reworked....

[RoboDoge]

Misuses frame, complains. Half of Warframe players are like that.

 

 

She is perfectly fine frame, as there is no one better at point defense than her. Having crapload of staggers and stuns is just fine by me, and if you go for range and efficiency she can be monster.

[(PSN)CaLiSxFiNeSt]

Just give her a new look, i mean she just looks plain, give her a whole new wardrobe and look..

[Harazard]

Banshee seems fine for me but her 4 needs slight damage increase, 16 dmg on a T1 Heavy gunner?WAIT LET ME GET MY POPCORN!

[GreyEnneract]

Not reading until edit.

I was goofing around with her last night because she was the only one who had a color scheme that fit the obsidian yom and she is fun. Especially since silence messes with enemies now.

[xXHunterzzzXx]

Lol that rework omg go to survival 4 and play till 30 mins and count how much you died with her and you will understand why i raised this topic. Yeas she requires skill she is beautifully made in all sorts animations,model,alterantive helmets( and their buffs). But can you say me who she is better in game? I think even frames like trinity is better then her. The only real use of banshee is defences cause cc but lol why you need cc when you cna bring bette frames like nova,and rhino which have the same cc and are much more common and useful ( nova ults slow, and rhino stomp late game ftw)

[RancidTurnip1603]

I don't have enough reactors for me to stick my potato in her if she's eventually going to be primed. I'll play her when I get around 6-7 more golden potatoes, or when the prime comes out, whatever comes first.

 

Also, Trinity is still one of the strongest frames in the game, just nobody uses her anymore because you can't abuse link with explosives. Now the brokenly exploitable ability is Nyx's absorb and everyone jumped on that bandwagon.

Moved to the proper section.

[Ayanami-]

You must be not using Sonar.

She JUST got reworked....

And in spite of this she is no more effective or fun than before.

 

I was even expecting a basscannon video to turn up when her rework arrived, but we didnt even get that. What does that tell you about how popuar she is?

[SignumCruxis]

Banshee is perfectly fine where she is aside from silence, though that's not an issue with the frame itself.

 

I find her fun and useful. She's not Nova or Rhino -- right tool for the job, etc.

[xXHunterzzzXx]

But really she needs buff in shields armor or hp, because her survivability is crap. Even zephyr has a big survivability like rhino and plus a defence skill(ability 3)

[Hixlysss]

Having slapped on overextended on banshee, all I have to say is she could use a sizable range increase to her power 1 and ultimate, give em both like a 50-60% buff in range and she should be golden when you slap on a simple stretch mod.

[xXHunterzzzXx]

Rikov totally agree with you and a buff in survivability

[Mak_Gohae]

Sonic Boom is her best ability, is cheap, quick, and knocks and pushes enemies away.

I used that ability so much i forget to sonar.

Doing defense with her is the easiest.

[Gylukios]

And here I thought she was unpopular because they shrunk Banshee's shoulder spike thing.

 

But performance wise, I've been fine with Banshee since the toggle #4 change.

[xXHunterzzzXx]

But you don't need her in defense when you can take frames with damage and AoE like Nova just ult slow ,and boom!!!

Banshee can save your life with enough energy. 

 

If someone is bleeding and another person is ready to revive him, Banshee can stunlock the whole area just to let this person do her job. 

 

Otherwise Sonic Boom is just perfect as a quick cc. 

 

Silence is a mobile stun and is pretty effective, even when you don't want to go stealth.

 

And Sonar allows better performance in defense missions, to show players where the enemy is, for example. 

 

 

 

Seriously, Banshee is awesome as she is. Doesn't even need any damage buff, she is not meant to deal damage.

Well i agree with you, but the only use of here is reviving and defence no more. I don't say that she is S#&$ i love here very much as a frame, but if you compare here with other frames she is not good. Especially now when half of community are rhino fans who spam stomp and revive.
