That is mine

MINE what a word , isn't it ?
Look at it for a while ...... ..

Now iam not gonna talk about how OP that black word is , can words be OP? NO

I don't care if it is OP or not , even if it isn't it still need a nerf .

Now MINE let you control the map , or a choke point ,
And i know that not all MINE users spam it , it is like all items that get better with better skill .
Now that is what is known and said . Bbbbut there is another part of the story .
First it is the less skill needed item to deal damage after SC maybe it is even the first .

And anyone can land it on water so he control the map , with neatly no skills ( i said nearly ) , that doesn't matter ,what really matter is it need 1min to explode , and that is about 25% of battle duration(lf we say that average battle duration is 4 min , it is ess than that for sure ) ,
But we can handle that , it isn't that annoying , unless there are 2 mine users in a team ,
Even if there is only 1 mine user with only 1 mine in enemy team , then we can have fun of playing , it just destroy the reason that we click battle for "to enjoy the game " , now at 3.5k and higher there are mines everywhere , now i can play BB , and i don't enjoy it , so why i will play anymore ?

Now iam not saying "remove it " but 1min ? Seriously?
Now mine should stay only for 30 sec , and btw it still take a quiet good % of battle duration .

And no say it is underused at lower infamy , so if it is then a nerf won't effect lower infamy players , that if it is underused there .

And iam just asking players suggestion , not suggesting it to devs , do they even understand our suggestions !!. So don't say move it to "suggestion &help" .

 

I think mine is pretty balanced. It relies on player "blindness" and stupidity to deal damage unless it expires.
I only use 2 weapons(and I always run them together), mine and big torp, and my big torp quest has 2x the amount of damage dealt when compared to my mine, even though my mine is a legendary(T1) and my big torp is a rare(T4).
30s would be a Huge nerf, as that would last less than a repair box.The current time is pretty fair.
I don't know about you, but at my infamy(2000-2400), most of the time, I'm the only one using a mine in the match, but even when the enemy team has a lot of mines, you just gotta be smart and not stay in one area until they surround you with mines.

 

Not to mention that most mine users don't know how to use them effectively.

 

I hate mines so much like you, even more than you but if you decrease mine duration to 30 secs that would be kill it. I thinking a different solution: mines should be destroyed by friend ships(don't deal damage of course) like all other torpedos. If you want to make a place "safe" and close with mines, you shouldn't cross that safe line either. Nowadays there is a mine madness in the game and that is annoying.

 

I like friendly mines. They're like my bodyguards against speeders. Speeder comes straight at me but don't see the mines. BOOM!!!

 

It will kill it. Then people with one mine will only be able to have 3 mines on the map at a time. It's already hard to use, no need to make it worse.

 

30 sec is too short. This will make mines even harder to use when it's already hard.

 

But not many people actually use mines, so it's a small chance that enemies will be showering you with mines.

 

This one time I try to walk through 2 mines and there were clearly enough space for me to fit through. But then both the mines explode as I get close. I'm starting to think fixers are fatter than defenders.

 

Why would you change duration for only 3.5k and higher?

 

They r

 

Hard to use. People aren't just going to run into it where ever you place it. You have to place it effectively where it will actually matter.

 

Even if that is true, 30 seconds is TOO MUCH of a nerf. It would be like doubling the standard cannon reload time. I think a more reasonable solution would be to decrease it's radius or change it to two slots but increase damage or range by a little bit.

 

It isn't needed

 

Most people aren't.

 

Then no need to nerf an item not a lot used.

 

Man, im in nml too also i using double carro on my speeder. So mines hurts me more than anybody and i can say that your solution would kill the mines. You must think about users of that item while asking nerf.

 

Would it help if we was able to target mines and shoot them to make them detonate? If they did make it this way they should set the amount of damage needed to make it explode higher depending on what the level of the mine is T1 little damage T2 more and etc. and if the mine is disposed of in this manner they should increase the blast radius a bit more simply because it would not be fair to the person who laid the mine. Wada bing Wada BOOM!!!!

 

30 sec is still going to affect mine users heavily both high and low infamy.

 

Do you know how to math? 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%
The battle is not 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
