I know a good amount of players that use the team/strategy you mentioned though, and still get decimated by this water team despite having more power/init than it.

No, this team is still cheap. Even if you know who to target/interrupt, it's still a cheap ass team. And it's kinda hard to interrupt when most of those involve chases and Tenten's chase messes tht up round 1. So yes, this team needs to be nerfed in some way! Hell, tht's all I faced today was tht team and lost a battle I would've won since I had 10k more BP and higher init than it! And I targeted exactly what you said. But since Mei and Water clone has like a 75% chance to cause Acupuncture, couldn't do anything the next round. So yes, it's a cheap team and it needs to be nerfed! Mei needs to lose 2 of her debuffs, 2 buffs and 4 debuffs is ridiculous for a single ninja to have. And since everyone really just use it because of Tenten's Mystery (hell, I've had players straight up retreat if I -on the rare occasion- messed up them using Tenten round 1), she needs a Battle Cooling of 1. She could still use her Mystery round 2 if the player chose due to Mabui. If this team wasn't an actual cancer team, then I seriously doubt so many heavy p2ws tht can easily stomp it would say it is.

I have Bee [Samehade Sword] and I'll admit that works against this team if you have higher init, but I don't always use him every SWB or Matsuri (for PvP examples). And even if I did, that's still not the point. You shouldn't have to use specific ninjas just to beat, no not even beat... compete with ONE team when you have 10k-15k more BP and are faster! You also kinda said indirectly that if you don't have a ninja that can immobilize Mabui round 1 you're screwed. And you apparently ignored the fact that I stated that heavy P2W teams (with BP ranging from 90k-115k and have exclusive ninjas) that can easily crush this team consider it a cheap cancer team. Why would players that have no trouble with a team call it a cancer team if it wasn't and didn't need nerfing in some form? And I know who to disable and when, as I've beaten this team before. Like I said earlier, during Matsuri I faced this team (my team was MB, Mu, Ao and Gakido) and had 11k more BP and was faster. Had Gakido remove Tenten's Paralysis from round 1, chased and prevented Mabui from doing anything, and had Ao prevent AF from healing round 2. But the Water clone sealed Mu (and a water clone and Mei both seem to have a 50%-75% chance of sealing) so I couldn't do anything round 3 and that's all that team needed. So see, I know whom to target. And there is nothing wrong with a simple nerf of giving Tenten's Mystery a Battlefield Cooling of 1 when her 60 Chakra Mystery would still be able to be used round 2. As for Mei, a single ninja having 2 buffs and 4 debuffs is excessive. And it's dumb that ninjas with only 0-1 buff and 1-2 debuffs have been nerfed, but not one with 2 buffs/4 debuffs.

well actually i use water meta and even when mabui is controlled its still REALLY good
