    I don't saying mine is balanced but make it 30 secs is very heavy. Mine needs just a little nerf.

    I think it’s wrong to say that mines don’t take skill. It’s actually one of the hardest weapons to get consistent damage with.

    Yes, you can spam it and try to get lucky, just like you can with torpedoes, but your accuracy will be very low, and you sacrifice a lot of firepower to do that.

    I never wanted to be a mine user, but RNG had other plans for me, and that was what I got when I combined my first legendary.

    Given that I’m still running ‘mostly’ Rare items on my boat, I expected that getting a legendary would give me a good bump in infamy. For most weapons that would have been true (a legendary Blast, Flare or Swift would have been a big upgrade for me), but that hasn’t been the case with the mine.

    Between my legendary mine, and t4 Rare Blast, I ‘probably’ gain more infamy while running the Blast. Not that there is anything wrong with the mine, and I think I play it quite well, and I have got some of my biggest damage using it. It’s just not as consistent.

    Like you can spend ages carefully mining the entrances around the capture zone on Damage Depot, only to have one of your teammates charge straight across the map, and lead all the fighting away. Or you can do loads of damage, but then be left in 1v1, where the mine is of little help, so you lose.

    I think if someone can switch between a legendary mine and t4 rare blast, without seeing much difference in infamy, then it’s hard to argue that mines are OP.

    Well , u Know what is funny. I played 3 games with speeder just for fun and I died all 3 games with mines. Fu**ing hate them.:mad: I regularly see 2-3 mines every game in Nightmare. And it's popularity is increasing. Heck, even I am building a mine. Why wouldn't I, it is OP.

    if every single shooter uses a mine , then speeders will have have a tough time to play. Just my opinion though.:rolleyes:

    Speeders tend to be the most vulnerable to mines, as they’re always moving and Nitroing about.

    I actually find I get killed by them a lot less often, and I’m able to spot enemy mines more easily, after running mines myself.

    I think maybe if you use them yourself, then you start to get a better idea of the tactics, and you’re less likely to fall for them.

    they are but they are at least faster, mines have also detection range (you don't have to be right on the mine to trigger it)

    Sometimes, if I’m in a tunnel or something, I hide them under my own boat, or throw them on top of my Fixer.

    Speeders often like to zip past really close, and they can’t see it at all if you’re sitting on it.

    Shipwrecks are another great spot for hiding them. :)

    Nerf again? Plz don't make these nerf threads.
    Mines are balanced pretty well. It seems as if to nerf everything that doesn't to people's liking (PS.I'm never been a mine user).

    They can be avoidable if u are very careful, sometimes they can be unavoidable and get splashed by others mistakes after all that's the fun of battle. A battle is never fun without being dangers. It is part of battlefield sense.

    Fun is dodging mines, avoiding them, finding the mine user, and showing them the nightmare that happens when you sacrifice a slot that could otherwise hold a cannon.

    Speeders, if you're complaining about mines and you don't search and destroy mine users within the first 1:30, why are you playing assassin?

    Very funny, dude. I killed a fixer in a mine-infested area in my lastest video, did you see? I used my "controlled needle" concept, firing my weaker nitro while simultaneously reversing, doing both projectile and mine dodging at the same time.


    (Save your time, moment is at 3:35)

    Like, really. Mines. You. The high level speeder. Scared of handling multiple mine users. Come on, man! Watch Jumpannen, you'll learn a lot about mine dodging.

    I want to see some stats on mines. Average damage achivement(mines) progress to other weapons, What % of mine users are non Nightmare, Average mine users per battle at Nightmare League? @Miika ? Thanks.

    If it doesn't get nerfed by the time I get there, I will.

    I have a certain amount of battle sense, mate. I check six ALL the time, peek corners, I do all the checks. And even when there's an entire team of one-mine shooters against me, I know how to pressurize and focus.

    You're not talking to a blind bezerker. I have played with and can dodge(given sufficient warning) almost everything in the game. Mines are just too glaringly obvious.

    "Sniper cannons are not OP, just overrepresented"? Well so is mine. Just because it is overrepresented in NML is now an argument to nerf it? I think not. Bear with it. Or by reverse psychology, nerf sniper first.

    Meh! I can’t wait until next month when we can start owning all these NML noobs, buddy, and they’ll have to stop talking down to us! :p

    I could write an entire paragraph about how I staged it, but it would lead to two possibilities:
    A) You wouldn't believe me
    B) You'd say something about how it wouldn't happen at above 3.5k.

    Why don't we all wait 15 days for me to get to upper Ace 1, and THEN we talk?
