No one cares about lower infamy players?

    I'm constantly seeing so many posts about nerf this or nerf that but have you guys even cared to look at an infamy that isn't your own? Sure these balances would work GREAT where you're at but what about FTP players or players below your infamy? I sit at 2000+ infamy and you guys are yelling nerf enforcer when I can't even fully utilize my yellow slots because of they're bad placement and frost isn't even usable. Most people I see getting top damage as an enforcer here use either overleveled weapons or long ranged weapons (snipers mortars etc,) but instead I'm a brawler and suffer greatly in 1v1s. Players have better gear and are constantly pummeling me with mortars which I can barely escape. As a fixer, you are literally forced to depend on your team to win the game. All I can do is assist and players almost always split up so I have to make the important choice of who to go with.
    Shooters are dominant here with a lot of fixers and defenders following closely and speeders and enforcerr
    Snipers and fire cannon and mortars are spammed here
    Players with gear superior to mine
    I don't even use a tesla shield due to the stun and the length it takes to refresh
    Please when suggesting a nerf/buff take into account the players below you. The enforcer buff was to help lower levels but instead made higher infamy players extremely dominant. Now a nerf is probably coming and I'm afraid it's gunna hit hard

    No one cares. People so hated speeders demanding constant nerf after nerf making it useless without thinking every nerf hurts mk5 bad with only rares it was already hard to keep in 3.5k. But now I am struggling to get to 3k.

    I switched over to enforcer after the NOOB SHOOTER UPDATE 2.8 that allowed shooters to just tapshoot sniper cannons without vertical lead. Now nobody can crit me with a sniper cannon, which is good, but enfo is the next in line for a nerf. The further up I get, the more concrete my setup gets, and in the event of a nerf, the harder it will hit me.

    Nobody?
    I know enfo's dance and have bubbles but I am sure snipers can still crit you, especially with how easy it is to hit people with your eyes closed since the update :D

    Have you seen before this update 8 players out of 10 being enforcers and not a single speeder in match above 3k. I hardly had a speeder free match.
    Now anybody with 2% skill is rocking enforcer and killing with it. And even speeder with vast experience is struggling to deal with all the ridiculous changes.

    Well, I use my old "speeder sense" to judge where a sniper will see an opening from his perspective, only now I don't maneuver out of the way, I put up my shield. So no more crits(if I don't poke my head out longer than required;))

    Ok rather than nerfing enforcers, buff other ships instead to make them more viable. As we've seen so far, rovio over does it with nerfs, the stun from tesla shield, the frost ivernerf, speeder health reduction, fixer self heal cut in half, and so on. It'd be nice to see a shift in the meta rather than nerfing everything to garbo

    I survived all nerfs but this time it was way too much to deal with. Now my brother who mains enfo is trying to save me from infamy tanker. Its pain to see my favourite ship turned to garbage. I have no inclination to play any other ship so I won't be switching my boat.

    @Ash KOT. No lie... I bet some shooters and defenders would be BETTER if they just closed their eyes, cycled through locked targets and shot until they heard one hit. The fact that I could very literally hit something with my eyes closed is ridiculous. How is that even a thing?

    Couldnt agree more with you on this one.
    I would prefer aim assist to push the crosshair in the right direction, but still a decent amount of aiming / shot leading required.
    The fact you can just shoot it blind as soon as its locked and land 95% of shots is broken.

    That's how the game was designed from the outset, and why the recommendation is to move constantly.

    I think the aim assist makes my shots worse since I depend on precise arcs and movement prediction. The aim assist makes me overshoot and etc, I'd like an option to turn it off

    Yup that’s how updates work around here... instead of changing the characteristics of a specific item according to the level of the boat that you are using that just change it all.

    Mk5 OR BELOW SPEDER IS SHIT AFTER THE LAST TESLA BOLT UPDATE, and I also change to enforcer...
