i can't believe this thread is a thing. water main is the most powerful main there is now. kage summit madara ensures that, water is the only one he doesn't completely counter.

fire's best mystery, shield and immunity which madara removes.

earth has shields all over the place and immunity in his passive, which again madara removes

wind main shields 2 females and makes then immune, which again madara removes

lightning main, root, bye bye.

the best passives and/or mysteries of all the mains were countered by 1 ninja, except for water main who c*e that 1 ninja with no downsides.

in addition to counter your other arguments, if ur hit by ignite u can only cleanse it and u wont gain hp, but u cleanse EVERY debuff and soft cc so not only do u stop the 2-4k worth of ignites u also stop the 8k poisons the paralyze the tag ect. so it still saves you thousands of health each round you use it. and if they dont have ignite, then you heal more base than a fire main will shield by about 50%, the shield c*so be removed by that madara so we c*e it then lose it with little to no benefit while your health regen stays.

absorbing chakra on a high crit myst isnt enough? you force your opponent to run dodge ninjas or u will crit him and stop his myst, and they cant bait out the myst first cause u will steal their chakra so they cant use the myst afterward without a chakra battery so they need 2 ninjas to TRY to counter yours and if 1 of those 2 gets ccd then they fail.

all of your suggestions make it sound like you dont want water to be op, but you want her so strong that you can beat someone with 500k power more power than you just because you run a solo water main. water is currently THE strongest main in the game, she is the only main that can be m1, has full cleanse on up to 2 ninjas each round and a lineup wide cleanse on a 3 rd cd that can be reduced further, she is the only main with dodge which is better than earth mains super armor sonce u can avoid damage entirely, she can let your ninjas stack poison on tai dmg which is amazing if you dont have koh and even if you do have koh its still lets you do 8k dmg r1 which is 20%+ dmg since people at 300k power still only have 40k hp ninjas at best. she is the only main that has hard cc that can be used by a chase.

please try playing another main and then see how hard we have it before you ask for more buffs, water has gotten the most buffs of any main, even when she is too powerful she still gets buffs, while fire mains are barely hanging on and can only be played when we have the power to back them up and we still got talents nerfed.
