DevReply Why is the sniper cannon balanced?!?

Alright, if it is soooo easy to dodge a sniper or stay out of their sight, why can’t someone post a video/screenshots of this? I’ll believe you if i see a clip where
1) You do damage
2) Don’t get hit by snipers at the same time
3) If i have more, i’ll add them here.
So not just camping, you have to land hits.

 

Don’t take my sniper away....I’ve already dumped my T5E ec after it was nerfed, and the cooldown is now impossible. No no no.

Spoiler

NO

 

You said that it make no sense if someone hits you with 2.1k crit damage in front of you
And i said it dont make sense if some hits you with 2k crit damage from a long range that you sont even know where did it come from

 

Because its range is 45 and it is fast ,that is why sniper is different than other cannons,

Speeder go and make enemy visible to your team so you will deal a fair damage , you are low in health and getting healed4 by your bandage or fixer is healing you but you still want to deal damage , and others situations ....
That why everyone should use sniper cannon not for its crit chance

 

Let me tell you something. The sniper cannon is not OP. Think about it. If it was OP, the devs would already have nerfed it, they have a habit of nerfing things ( no offense). It needs no nerf. Without it's critical hit, all it is is a standard cannon with some more range, attack, and a whole lot more cooldown. And, like all weapons, it can be dodged ( though a speeder is required). Don't complain.

 

I agree that it's not OP, but a speeder isn't required to dodge it. I've seen many shooters, enforcers, and fixers dodge sniper cannons as well (not so much defenders). This adds on to the fact that snipers aren't OP.

 

Wow that speed!!! Gotta go fast! Now I want T4 rare OB

 

U think any speeder will care about the damage from sniper without the crit? They'll just laugh and get healed up in 20 sec with the help of bandage.

What makes sniper useful is it's crit chance, which is higher than other cannons. Also, remember their shield is crit proof, so even 2 shots of sniper has no effect on that.

And yes, nobody uses sniper because of its range and speed, but for it's increased crit chance. U can go ask anyone u want and they will say crit chance all day long.

 

I said that why they should use sniper cannon for not what they actually use it for

And tesla shield don't block torpedos or splash damage because every item has somethings that make it useful l and useless ,and sniper cannon is made to has a very long but with a bit low damage ,and it has a fast projectile but waves sometimes are problem ,
And it has a crit perks and perks but it has a low (wait nothing , nothing is taken from it to give it all that crit chance)

BC high damage but low speed ,and range

SC low damage but high speed and range

STDC lowest damage but also faster CD

EXC slow but high damage, splash damage but 2 slots, more da!age (so that it can deal more damage than BC) but high CD

All cannons are balanced without SC crit ... And also without SC crit perks and talent ,that perks and talent will be placed with damage or range ,maybe even speed perks and talents ,so it will deal more than 700 damage , 900 for sure, maybe 1k damage from that range ,is it still a bad item?

 

What ever man, it's not gonna happen anytime soon. So, just give it a rest already.

Peace

 

To heal from sniper critical hit in 20 seconds with bandages, your bandage would have to heal anywhere from 50-500 health every 5 seconds depending on your enemy's sniper cannon, and it is very likely that a person with a 50 bandage will be facing common sniper cannons with critical hits of 200. Also, a 500 bandage is impossible, so no, speeders will not heal from a sniper critical hit in 20 seconds.
Also, I use sniper originally for range and speed.

 

I know it won't be nerfed ,i said that from the very start .

I think u have mistsken there. What I meant was a hit taken by sniper without crit. That's what @kurdish bndo was suggesting. So I gave an example as of how speeders would run back and get healed in 20 sec.

 

A non-crit sniper on my speeder is around 500hp. My E2 bandages clock in at 10hp/second. So it is 50 seconds for me to mop up from a sniper hit. It simply isn't nearly as efficient as you're describing. You seriously think it's an OK thing to get hit ONCE for a non-crit then take yourself out of the match for nearly 20% of it's maximum duration? Sure, speeders with bandages are a pain. Yes, you have to hunt them down. But not that much of a pin.

 

We read critiques of sniper at all infamy ranges on a regular basis so no, the issue, such as it is, is not late game. It's at all stages of the game. The question is whether there is any issue at all.

For the record, I just fought a speeder at 2000 infamy who was ticking at 110 hp per tick on his bandages (WTH?). That wasn't the get-out-of-jail free card that "healed back in 20 seconds" implies. So even against gearscore 5500-ish weapons those awesome bandages (double my own) were enough to touch up his paint job but they didn't save him when he made a serious mistake.
