This happens way too often.

I would upload the video of what happened but I’m tired of it already. I think you can get a pretty good idea with a description and pictures.

Today I was playing mk6 enforcer,


looked just like a normal game when....



15 second in a rocket launcher breaks my shield and I they crit me with a mortar. It wasn’t a very big deal, I have more than 6000 defense points so I could continue with out problems, or so I thought... 3 second later this happened:



I got hit crit by two sniper cannons at the same time. 3714pts of damage in less than a second from +30 distance, and to finish



Yes! I bet you already thought about it, another sniper crit from across the map!

Total time played: 36 second
Damage sealed: 0
Damage received: 6174
Did I do something wrong?: No, I didn’t play reckless or suicidal.

This happens way to often and it just makes me want quit. Giving sniper cannon such a big critical chance and that damage per crit was stupid from the beginning. The fact that so many players now use sniper is not an excuse to not fix it.

I’m so tired of it and it just keeps making me angry.
IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

 

First, why did u let em all target u? 4 unfriend shooters mean there are more than 4 sniper canons out there

 

Woohoo!! Another sniper nerf thread
Why am I not surprised

 

Because it needs a nerf.

 

Why didn't you stick with your team, then? The minimap shows that you were way off your team when they started shooting at you. 6k hp is nowhere near enough to survive concentrated fire from 4 enemy shooters (you were probably the only unfriend they could see, so as someone told you, they all started firing at you). Also it appears that you still had time to spam commands to your team even if you were taking damage like crazy there. If everyone is shooting at you, better use your fingers to escape rather than repeating "negative", "negative", "negative". Play better next time = case closed.

 

I must have a worst luck then, everytimes a sniper cannon hit me, it crits. Many time the match started, a speeder scouting, i get across toward my team and then 3 sniper shots take me down in less than 10 seconds.

 

i talk about this 2-3months,and "smart" dev is "too busy" and is "to hard to change that".. let's donate some money to dev team to put someone new to help them to fix and balance game.. and yes..i quit game because that.. am done with stupit battle bay and lazy dev team who doesnt listen their players.

 

case closed? hahah another sniper noob who doesn't want to be nerfed..

 

Did you even read my post? Point here was that OP played poorly and would've been killed no matter what weapons the enemy used. Also, if you already quit the game as you stated above, why would you care if the sniper gets nerfed or not?

 

yes,i read,am just angy for they dont nerf sniper in this new update..
and its not fair to deal so many crit from 30+ distance.. its not fair..that is reason why am quiting game.. on 4k inf..player was crit dmg above 2.2k with snip..and enf has only 6.6hp..

 

I’ve been playing +4000 when I was mk5, so I’m not that new.

And for those who say that I was far from my team... that’s what enforcers and speeders should do. The faster you spot the enemy team, the faster your team can attack. That initial damage can decide a game perfectly.

And at last. None of the excuses you’ve said justifies the fact that I took such a big damage in a very short period of time from a really big distance.

 

What kind of nerf?

 

What sort of Nerf are you suggesting here? Because saying it needs a Nerf is not an answer here.

 

Ironically you didn't seem even bother to dodge properly enemy Rocket and Mortar, allowing Rocket to break your shield and got hit in center Mortar. For these reason alone prove that your are for sure easy target for Sniper.

Don't blame Sniper crit, when any weapon can one shot you in that kind of situation where opponent are together in one place always ready to open fire while your team don't. Plus I kinda sick of weapon nerf. death from one type weapon > RANT That weapon is OP > Plss nerf.

I never had any issue with Sniper user, I can predict and dodge any Sniper shot any times. Plus your are Enforcer, Enforcer dance are your best moves to dodge flawlessly any Sniper shot anyways.

At the end just took this unlucky 3 crit shot as good battle experience given from Rovio to improve your playstyle. Scout and staying one place doesn't mix together plus equip your enforcer with good turbo (I'm assume you put 2 shield instead of 1 turbo).

 

I don’t think sniper really needs a nerf. You can get the same damage output with a blast or explosive cannon when the enemy is on fire and more consistently too.

 

If you get hit by a bulls eye from a mortar, which can easily be dodged by just moving slightly, I don't think you can dodge a Sniper.

Nothing wrong here, let's move along.
