Will Tesla Bolt nerf affect top 50?

Yep, hopefully something along those lines we can look forward to in the future

 

Nerf speeder anymore and you'll kill it for us free to play speeders

 

Interestingly, I used to see that happen a lot more at lower infamy when the shooters had even less weapons. My conclusion is that when the speeder's gear reaches a certain point, and assuming some minimum level of skill, it gains the ability to do the things you say it can't. In the example you stated I would expect one shooter to be Bolted, and the other to be strafed with Shield as an insurance policy. Burst damage, pull out of close range, repeat. One speeder vs two shooters- I see the speeder win that quite a bit.

 

My suspicion is that they have allowed damage to overcome defense. So just like me when I was punching up, the best (and only) defense is to not get hit. That's why dual turbos on my shooter was WAY more effective than shields. That's why things like tesla bolt are so strong -- it is directly avoiding damage rather than trying to counter it.

A 15 second tesla bolt is 6 weapon cycles. Even at my lowly mark that's an 1800 point shield for one press of a button in a 1v1 fight. Given the maneuverability of a speeder finding such fights is hardly impossible.

 

At ace 2 speeder vs shooter goes in favour of speeders a lot time.
But in nightmare the scenario is quite different.
I have seen defender winning 1 v 2 situations against speeder and shooter combo all at almost same health.
I have seen even top speeder being afraid of defender all boats have Thier advantage and disadvantage and when these boats are played in Thier favourable situations they are hard to win against.
Defender is a slow boat but when it comes to ur face it's scary as hell I have seen a defender run into the pack of enemies and demolish them like there were nothing and the enemies included top speeder players in the game right now.
Shooters in a group are scary their weapons powers are off the charts and God they have 5 of them.
Most of Thier weapons pop the tesla shield up like a can opener so a thing for protection becomes a liability with 4 sec stun.
And don't get me started on enforcers god Thier enfo dance is so annoying you can't even lead ur shots from mid to far range because of the unpredictablity in movements and Thier turret agility is uncanny try circling around them in a speeder and thier turret is always pointed at you that's why a lot of top players play enforcer a lot of time.
What most of the peeps don't know is how to get a boat in its favourable situations once you get it right Thier is no stopping you from being the overpowered boat in the match.

 

I stumbled into a 1vs1 challenge between ysl and american marauder somehow yesterday.
In her speeder she didn't stand a chance against his shooter. The only way she could win, despite her 16 second stun, was to switch to defender.

 

That guy has high-evolved legendary equipment, which 99.9999% of the players in this game will never have.

 

She's no slouch herself on the old unnatainables.
Besides I thought your point was that the stun would make him easy prey regardless of his gear?

 

Then your reading comprehension isn't very good, sorry. Anyone trying to say gear doesn't matter in this game would, ahem, sound like a fool.

 

1vs1 is 100% win against any ship, without being especially well equipped or trained up.
You liked that post.
If you can't see how it implies that gear matters little to a speeder with a bolt equipped, that or the 'mvp' kid in the mk5 is the greatest speeder on the bay, then you probably shouldn't be too critical of anybodys "reading comprehension".
Sorry.

 

ROFL are you an actual person or a slow news day clickbait article on Yahoo. "xxxBISMARCKxxx's forum account 'likes' exaggerated forum post claiming 100% 1v1 win rate- 10 reasons why this matters"

 

I have lot to say on this matter but I don't care what happens to tesla bolt.
And yeah ideas suggested by miku are pathetic as always.
That's it.
