Frost nerf

I dont see that the top players are affected by the frost nerf..??or am i mistaken?

 

@YSL was one of the most famous frost users, for ages, but now she seems to have stopped using it, which is telling.

It’s kind of hard for frost to affect anyone, when no one uses it anymore...

 

I know 2 speeders that still use frost torp, and the other one’s main weapon is a t5 epic mine so compared to what it was before nerf it’s quite clear.

 

I've used torpedoes ever since mk4, and at mk5 I started using frost to go along with them. After tons of battles I fell in love with the combo even before frost was buffed/talents were fixed and it was "OP". After the nerf, I tried using the combo but it just wasn't the same. I may as well have just ditched the frost and used only torpedoes as over 60% of my frost torp attempts would be thrown off by teammates shooting or mortars landing. It isn't always their fault either, some situations the mortar shell or bullet is already flying at the guy even before you frost, so a lot of the time it is unavoidable. Even after 5k battles using the combo, and falling in love with its uniqueness and risky playstyle, I've been forced to switch off of the combo because its no longer fun; it isn't worth it anymore to try and 1v1 players or infiltrate fixers, you'll just end up dead with little to no reward.

If frost was buffed in the slightest, and the combo became fun again / even slightly viable, I would switch back to it in a heartbeat. But as of now, I am left using the boring explosive cannon + flare combo which is currently the meta, and I believe was always the meta.

non-useful

 

After looking at the frost nerf, it was seemingly surprising most torp speeder players were too relient on the slow affect of the frost to land their torpedos. Now it's useless i think they need to reconsider buffing it again

(Like the profile picture? Still Dwayne Johnson)

 

Please. Most people used frost only because of extra damage, not the aim. The easy target was just bonus. But now you don’t hit targets before they get unfrosted, and don’t get as much damage if you even manage to hit. If the one hit removing bullsh*t would be changed, people would star using frost again

 

Im trying new things..not going with the meta..there is potential somewhere..just need to find it

 

Nice profile lol.
Also, no, this wasn't quite the reason. The frost getting broken after 1 hit was by far the biggest nerf, and I've played over 500 battles post patch to experience it. I only had a t3 rare frost, so the slowing effect, while noticeable, wasn't the biggest issue.

 

Frost is now as pathetic as the stun from the Tesla bolt. Some idiot is gonna shoot it off and waste it’s affect. As soon as the nerf came out, I got rid of mine, and epic.

 

I used frost torp from my begining to end, it has ended due to this nerf, i dont like playing flare cannon combo, i spent ALOT of money on my frost torp combo anf quit once they nerfed it as hard as they did. Find it hard to belive u can spend so much money towards a company just to have something made so usless after a nerf. I even complained directly to devs and rovio but we have still yet to see it changed back. Did the combo need a nerf? Sure but it shouldnt have goten the break on damage nerf. Thanks devs
