"You would like to see Minato's dodge chance reduced (perhaps to a flat chance rather than being based on combo? I assume your combo is low based upon your post?)"

Wait, what? If Edo Minato's dodge chance at +2 on the Yellow Flash passive is not a flat 50% for each standard attack (so basically, it should be like a coin flip each time) and is instead somehow based on his combo rate, that's news to me. Nowhere in his skills description is anything like that mentioned. If it is the case that it's somehow based on combo rate, that should be stated in his description. I dont have his BT because I find him a boring, overstaturated character and never went out of my way to get him, so I have no personal experience with his BT dodge rate. Some clarification would be nice though.

In terms of the other ninjas: personally I don't think Kushina or Gaara should be nerfed. Sure it can be annoying to fight against the BT Gaara and Kushina combo. Stall is annoying strategy, yes. But it should also be a viable strategy people can choose. And honestly, as others have pointed out, this core isn't as unbeatable as you make it out to be. Gaara is easily countered by ingition or poison, and ignition is pretty common. Kushina can be blitzed down in round 1 or 2 if you're running the offensive variant.

More importantly though, I think it it would be very f2p unfriendly to nerf these characters, since Kushina and Gaara is one of the easier cores to get for cheap (literally, I never spent any money in this game). Kushina frags get given out a lot and Gaara you can pull from treasures or do his instance. A lot of f2p have Kushina recommended to them as a good first "carry" pos 1 ninja, imagine how crushing it will be to everyone who saved up for her and/or pieced her together if she gets nerfed. Please, devs, don't do this.

The only character I could see an argument for is Edo Minato. His dodge rate when fighting against him is annoying. 50% is very high and sometimes it seems like nothing hits. However, I think a future meta shift will drop Edo Minato from the top in due time. When we get GNW Madara (Obito) BT, I think Edo Minato's usage will fall. With BT Nagato on the team, GNW Madara's mystery becomes undodgable and his chases c*so be made undodgable. So for example you could run a team like this:

Where the combo off Sasuke's mystery is this:

If you have the right skills on everyone, this means Sasuke's mystery cannot miss Edo Minato, and Madara's chase (which supresses immunity and causes immobile) also cannot miss. If you have enough chakra, you could also launch GNW Madara's mystery right after this and hit Minato again. Also, though it will probably be a while, Kimono Shisui just got BT that make his mystery and standard undodgable. In time, Edo Minato's skillset will not be as hard to counter. I'd say just let the meta run its course.

(Also Tachibana Saeko, can you clarify if GNW Madara's BT does more damage TO jinchuriki opponents or because someone on Madara's SAME TEAM is a jinchuuriki? On the Proxy it says something different from his in-game description which is kind of unclear when it says "when there is a jinchuriki on the team, this skill's damage is increased by 40%." Which is "the" team? I would guess the opponent's but some people understand it as your team).

I don't really understand your question about my main or alt...I'm just speaking from general experience. I do have 2 accounts but they're about the same power so I don't think it matters.

I will admit, I may have overstated Kushina's killability. I do a bunch of Arena and in Arena she's not as good, and you can get blitzed round 1/2. I will give you that it's not as easy to do in normal 1v1 battles. In my experience with GNW, usually it gets down to Kushina and Gaara and we c*ually take the Gaaras down with poison/ignite. Usually only Kushina remains standing on ours or the opponent's side (when it gets really impossible, is Kushina/Gaara/BT Iruka lol). This is why I say Gaara can be beaten. I mean, I've used the BT Kushina/Gaara/Killer Bee team and I don't win every time. Probably because I am not like 300k+. I gotta say tho, if you are struggling against Kushinas who are 200k lower than you, that seems a little bit of a stretch? 200k?

And maybe an overwhelming majority of people on your server use that core, but on mine, most of the top players do not. They use like, Edo Minato, Summer Kakashi, Kimi Halloween, Ronin. There is even still a lot of Kakuzu blitz. I think we can both agree, Kushina is not that fun to play, so a bunch of top players don't use her much anymore. She has become more in the f2p domain for like 100-300k players. It's really not "use Kushina or lose" like you make it out to be.

I know Oasis doesn't care about their f2p base, but consider this. They also don't like doing any significant patches or rebalances. So by doing literally nothing (an appealing prospect to Oasis) they could not nerf Kushina and Gaara and therefore not screw over all the f2p who saved for them. This is like the smallest thing they could do for f2p. It's LITERALLY NOTHING. It's not like I'm actually asking them to do something, like put Edo Hiruzen in Fireworks or something. Doing nothing, would be a net neutral. Doing something, would be a net negative to f2p, as the gap between their obtainable ninjas and the ultra OP spender ninjas just widens.

And again, I really think the meta will sort this out. I personally don't find Kushina and Gaara that oppressive in the meta of my server cluster even tho a lot of people have them. But even if you do, like I said, they will stop being as good as they are when future ninjas come out. GNW Madara breaks, like I said. If I am understanding his mystery correctly and it does 40-60% more damage to opposing jinchuriki, reason to use Gaara, Kushina, and Minato will drop because why take that extra damage. I really do not think any of these characters need a nerf. People probably wanted to nerf Roshi back in the day but look at him now, he's mostly irrelevant.

Look, I really do understand the want to have more diverse teams be viable. I like building interesting teams and I'm interested to know what teams you run. But I don't think rebalancing Kushina, Gaara, and/or Edo Minato is the answer to this. Because a) the meta will solve it itself in time, b) I don't even think they are that bad (except Minato he's pretty bad lol, but again refer to point a), and c) to really make a rebalance work, I think other characters would have to be rebalanced too. Like, other lesser characters sure would also have to be rebalanced to become more viable so that f2ps would have a chance. But we both know what will never happen so I don't think it's worth it.

Cheers.
