Nerfs and Balancing for 3.1

Sniper:

Lower the regular damage for sniper, or should not be pulling off 2100 damage from across the map with a curved shot, only railgun should have that privilege because it shoots in a straight line. (Sniper has a curved shot, railgun is a straight shot, takes more skill to hit with a railgun than sniper)

GENERAL NERF-for all cannons-the closer you are to your target the less of a chance you have to crit them.

Fire and frost
Nerf Choice #1- if target is burning, and they are hit with anything, burn damage comes off/just like frost

Nerf Choice #2- since cannons combo with fire, and torps and mortars combo with frost, here’s what I propose.

If target is on fire, and they are hit with a fire weapon, the fire comes off. However, if they are hit with anything other than a cannon, the fire duration stays on, but is divided by 2.

Same with frost, if target is frosted, and is hit with a mortar or a torp, frost comes off, but the duration will be divided by two, if the frosted target is hit by a cannon

(Note, if a target is on fire, and is then frosted, nothing will happen with duration, because both are considered damage enhancers)

Frost was never overpowered in the first place, you were only frosted, because you were caught away from your team

 

That doesn't really make sense. Why is it less likely to get a critical hit at 20 than it is at 50? Imo it should scale to a point...

(I made a thread containing it among others, here: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/ideas-lots-of-ideas-by-the-otherguy.18034/ )

 

No, Fire is a weapon and frost is a support item. They cannot be treated as the same.

 

Yes they can. Cause now fire conbos do way more damage than a torp and frost combo.

 

Yeah endors because they only two weapons made for range in this game are sniper and railgun. That’s why shooter carry an ex cannon or blast for closer combat.

 

Technically, you have a higher chance of hitting a critical area when you're closer.

 

Frost Blaster and Frost Launcher freezes the opponents for 7 seconds,isn't it?So,I think if we use frost on the enemy,the frost shouldn't wear off until we hit the enemy.If our friends hit the enemy,the frost shouldn't go off.It should go off only when the user who freezed hit him.This mechanism should be similar to Tesla Bolt also.

 

Harpo, we know frost torp is a bad combo. That doesn’t mean the other speeder combo needs to be nerfed, it means the torp combo needs to be buffed!

I personally (as a frost user and also playing many NML games vs frost) believe that people overreacted about frost torp. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon and started using frost torp thinking it was op, but it wasn’t as if those people’s infamy’s jumped up a crazy amount.

My infamy before frost was buffed and after stayed pretty much the same, (like a +100 infamy rise post buff). But before the frost buff, nobody complained

 

My friend made it to NML just this season in mk5 speeder using frost torp. Its not unusable it requires more skill than before to play is effectively.

 

The thing is you should know when to use frost and when not. Plus now it requires strong frost like T4E to actually have decent slow down and he did it without using frost+stun. He used just frost ob nitro.

 

Congratulate him personally. The name is CobraINS.
