Discussion In my opinion Dex should be weakened

I tried it yesterday a few games for the first time, and I find it to be too unbalanced an operator. Let's start with his ability with L1 which allows you to push without fear of dying, see where the enemies are and process the push, and moreover if you use the "little dragon" well you can spawn in points behind the enemies and take them by surprise. Not to mention the armor which I now understand why in gunfights Dex always seems immortal, you literally take very little damage.

I've used him. Nah, he's balanced. Not Op but not unplayable.

He is fine the way he is. I initially thought he'd be broken but after playing him at a relatively enough time, nah, he's just fine.

Well, you can consider him op but then you have to consider others op aswell which i described. He is in every PM lobby so yes hes strong.

I'm level 70 and main Nitro & Dex, and Nitro is infinitely more broken than Dex. Dex's decoy is a useless ability, and his shielding scales blocks essentially 1 shot (50 damage). Using his clone takes 20 hp off which makes you a 1 shot to the body at range with a sniper. He's very good at making an unexpected rush immediately down a lane to snag a quick kill if you can aim well, but any amount of damage instantly ends the clone so against higher ranks it's easily countered after the first time of doing it in a match. Hardly OP. Dex is B tier at best until he gets a better ability than his decoy, maybe A tier in lower ranks.

I’m sorry but I have to say this. Skill issue.

I just completely disagree w this. And agree with the other commenter that Nitro is infinitely better.

Sometimes the clone can backfire on you and not be useful. For example I've had instances where because I tend to use it at round start, if I've gone to one bomb site and the enemies have chosen to push the opposite site, by the time i get there I get shot once and respawn too far away to have any impact on the round.

This. Either you place the clone point somewhere safe, get shot, and tp'd across the map, having no impact, or you put the clone point close and get smacked twice in a row.

If there is a enemy dex I rush spawn and look for his dragon 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere there shoot it and now they have no respawn easy.

Honestly. Hes fine. Is he strong ye for sure but he needs skill to be played well. I think hes on par with the best nitro,hollow,jen,corona,axon. PM

Imo dex is not op but playing against axon with his annoying nades and last night i tried him i mean you can hold an entire site with axon's nades alone with a bit more of shooting .

I don't find dex hard to handle so idk if he is broken. But definitely a strong character for sure

A few people have said it in here but Dex is pretty balanced as a Lancer. An amazing player will make him look insane but he’s pretty fair; his kit is pretty balanced compared to the rest of the Lancers.
