    Hey there,

    Back with the Item and Ship popularity Snapshot! :)

    The shot is based on Statistics laid by data analysis of Top 50 players after 14 hours of the update(v. 2.9 Bay "Sweet Bay").

    Let's start with the overall Item Popularity Snapshot :

    • Comments:
    1. Turbo and Big Shield: As always, dominating the leaderboards, the items still have their "fixed" place in most of the setup.o_O
    2. The rise of Blast and fall of Explosive: Popularity of explosive Cannon among top players have decreased significantly with increase in popularity of blast cannon.:D
    3. Mortars and Torps: The cannons are still the favorite, with torpedoes and mortars still lagging behind. :oops:
    Moving on the Ship Popularity Pie Chart :

    • Comments:
    1. No Defenders in Top 50: Yes, you read it right, there were no Defenders in top 50 after 14 hours of the update, maybe the defenders switched to some other ships for a while. :p:eek::eek::confused:
    2. Enforcers: Seems like the previous updates were favorable for the Enforcer, with the rise in the number of the shooters in the bay.:cool:
    • Top-most places occupied by respective ships:
    Enforcer - 1st:eek:
    Speeder - 3rd;)
    Shooter - 6th:)
    Fixer - 25th:(

    Now, let's get started with Ship-wise Item Popularity Snapshot:

    Starting off with Shooter:

    • Comments:
    1. Flare Gun and Napalm Launcher: The popularity of these items have increased on a minor scale after the favorable update.:D
    2. Trend: There seems to be almost no change in popularity of other items.
    Next is Snapshot for Speeders:

    • Comments:
    1. Trend: The same "old" setup, popular among top players seem to be changing.:eek:
    2. Tesla: The Shield and Bolt have experienced a fall in popularity since the last Snapshot.
    3. Nitro: An incredible Rise in popularity was observed.:cool:
    Next is Snapshot of Enforcers:

    en.PNG
    • Comments:
    1. Comeback: Making a remarkable comeback in popularity among top players, this ship has benefited from the previous updates to a great extent. :p
    2. Speed and Shield: Over boost, Big Shield, and Tesla Shield could be seen on every Enforcer out there.
    3. Blast Cannon: The most favorite weapon among top enforcers. :)
    Last but not the least, Fixers :

    fxer.PNG
    With just 5 fixers in the bay, the popularity can't be judged, so just the snapshot! :p

    • Extra Comments:
    1. There were NO defenders seen in top 50 during the collection of data.
    2. The Enforcers have experienced a great increase in popularity just after the update.
    3. Not any major change in use of weapons, but it's too soon to judge, so let's wait till the players are done with coping up with the update. :p
    Thank you so much for reading! :)

    Just buff Defenders and Fixers(maybe a small buff to Speeders too), and the top 50 might just be balanced.
    Me too.

    Rise of blast is mostly because of enforcers, since they can’t fit explo and blast is better. Also mine is interesting, but is most likely used by enfos also.
    Refreshing to see another boat dominating than speeder.

    Don't be silly. That's just overkill. A simple tweak of dropping ship agility by 50% and making speeders take damage when they run into a wall ought to do the trick.

    F@#$ no! If they are slown down to that you might as well as use a defender. PLus they die to nearly every 1 on 1 enforcer fight.

    Developers. Are u fans of U2?
    "How long must we sing this song"

    Snapshot after snapshot. Top 50, top 100, top200, nitemare. When players look at meta....glaring and obvious is the lack of Defenders.

    Throw us a bone. Fix the ship. Make it more usable. Meta showed that after latest 3 updates players went to enforcer. U buffed enforcers developer team.

    Isn't it time to really buff Defender. Shrink the massive oversized hitbox. Buff attributes and raise hp and defense pts.

    There is thread after thread after thread of many players not Defenders saying it's time.

    Please prioritize this and make the Next Update Blue.

    Big Blue.

    Your splash page has us almost non existent. Like faded ghost.
    And this top 50 Snapshot. We don't appear at all.

    It's time.

    Dat hitbox tho. I tried shooting around my defender to hit another defender but my friendly defender blocked the shot (totally should've missed, though). They're big enough and pretty slow, they don't need exaggerated hitboxes. Fixxxx it.

    Enforcers have taken over the tanking job of the Defender. Harder to hit, faster, agile and can track down a Speeder.

    I said it before in my thread, "Let's remake the defender". Enforcers defend better than defenders, like LOL what?
    Haha, I knew SOMEONE WAS GONNA SAY IT!

    In all seriousness, though, buff defender. Speeder does not need a buff(bracing for salt) because it is now 2% from the "ideal" balance. By that logic, shooters and enfos need a nerf and defenders and fixers need a buff.

    I like the way defender is chillin in the back, but he should have a more towering appearance. In the splash screen AND in game. I wanna see defenders with even more hp than they have now. No need for speed and agility buffs, higher base hp means more flexibility with your blue items anyway.

    Actually there is no need for nerfs because that might actually break/ruin the balance(that might come from the buffs) because if one ship become more popular another will become less popular.

    There should be a push to buff counteritems instead of nerfing items directly. That should create an evolving meta over time rather than a deteriorating one.

    I DID say "by that logic", personally, I really don't like looking at the Bay like this. Top 50 is not everyone.
    I'd say that, since defenders are supposed to be an enfo counter, they deserve a buff that brings them to the level of enfo. Since shooter is like the most satisfying ship to play for most, we cannot really nerf it substantially, because players in the top leagues literally play shooter for fun.
