User blog comment:Respawnking/Is the Noisy Cricket OP?/@comment-25976344-20150307112820

Well, it is OP when it comes to close range battle. You may kill the user, but not often. Except if the user is a newbie. I think it requires 60-80% health boost to survive one shot. Possibly 85%. This is so because cricket can defeat Whiplash, quite faster than the flare. Around 8 shots, I think.

Overall, yes. It is OP. We need something to nerf it.
