Fire Bomb

Im gonna be really frank with you guys. Fire bomb nerf didn’t work. I mean seriously, I’m on the outside of it, get hit by it, and then I’m on fire for 65 dmg/ second for 19 seconds. I’m wondering why this sudden love for fire weapons, and yet the frost weapons get the butt of the nerfing. Not balanced.

 

Can you share the battle replay so we can see that you were outside of it?

 

The firebomb circle is just super poorly made as it doesn't really show where it's hitting the water most times. I feel the mortars work much better, maybe because they hit the water quicker & waves have less time to change.

 

That was buff not nerf for firebomb. Useless, it should be less damage for less duration at edge. Promote proper usage of weapon not spamming I see lots of shooter having more than 2 firebombs.

 

Seriously man there has been a lot of increase in fire bomb and all the players seems to have one now and sometimes 2 or 3. I know for sure devs are gonna nerf it in next update if they go by stats but it will be too late atleast for me.

 

I get hit for 1 second by firebomb on the edge. The circle always is a more forward than what is shown.

 

I can’t because I wasn’t recording the battle. But I’ll make a video to show you what I mean.

 

It’s like 10 seconds if you are on the edge. Fire weapons are extremely powerful and they definetly over power the frost ones. Not fair.

 

I've been noticing what seemed like surprisingly long burn times when I was on the very edge of the circle. I've also thought "Wait, I thought I was out of the ring" and still got hit with several seconds of burn. I can't say for sure but I do think Rovio ought to investigate the falloff radius on FB and make sure it's working as intended.

 

There are times I only take a few seconds of fire at the edge, other times I take a good 10 - 15 seconds. Not sure if it's a bug but it's damn annoying.

 

There was taking high damage from the edge too before the update. Not just fire bomb all mortars. I don't think if it is a bug but it will good to get an explain from devs.

 

Dear scrubs, when will u stop your whining?
This op that op. Honestly if you can’t win it’s on YOUR skills not the freaking game lmao. Every game has its own meta. You either adopt/adapt.

 

Fb op
Sniper op
Tesla shield op
Everything not in my setup op

lol! You’re probably mk5s stuck in 1k lmfao

 

It's hit and miss. Usually when my FB catches an opposing player on the fringe, it does a 1 sec tick or doesn't count. Reversed it really sucks.

This should be looked at in line with Mortars though. A mortar shot on the fringe deals significantly more damage than what a Fire Bomb would and there should be no difference.

 

I’m a mk5 at 3600+ Infamy. So yes I do have an opinion on what’s overpowered and what’s not. I’m also a free to play player. All skill. Anything else snide you wanna say?
