Enforcer- forgotten ship

Enfo ruled the bay when double bubble was at its peak.
Now its been nerfed and the agility is so high its difficult to manage, it seems to have lost its appeal

 

There has been direct nerfs to Tesla shield, HP was nerfed by 10% in Halloween update 2018:

Balancing changes:
Buffs:

Triple torpedo: +15% dmg

Nerfs:

- Fire bomb burning duration reduced from 15 to 13 seconds. Cooldown increased from 15,5 to 16,5
- Tesla shield hp reduced by 10%

 

... Why is everyone like, "Enfo is dead"? xD come on, I know that people seem to not play it as much, but I attribute it more to events than anything. To me at least, there's no other ship I truly love more than the enforcer. Sure I play shooter, but it's too slow for my taste (despite the fact that it shreds in events). I also play speeder, but, again, too squishy, too low firepower. Enfo is just right to me, though not many set store by it (or so it appears).

I have, however, been tempted many times by the interceptor. It falls into the sweet spot for me too. Just the right balance of firepower and speed. Though I doubt that it was the interceptor that dethroned the enforcer.

I've never seen an enfo main quit enforcer, however. The ones that quit seem to be the mid-low level enfos (understandable, nerfs hit them harder than high level players) and enfos who didn't see the downfall of the conventional double bubble coming.

Trust me when I say that the enforcer is still immensely strong right up to NML.

 

Woah. With that level of understanding of tactics and game mechanics, I think I'll be seeing you in Ace 1 very soon indeed...

 

I do! With the enforcer, knowing the limitations, knowing your gear, knowing the maps, and knowing your place(s) on the battlefield will raise your level above anyone below Ace 1. Imho, Ace 1 is where you start running into more and more good players who put that final layer of finish on your technique, whatever it is.

 

Relax, you're a fixer main. All fixer mains are gods with the ability to see five moves ahead without even knowing it. You'd probably make a better enfo player than 90% of the enfos out there, you'd just read your opponents like they were books lol

 

Okay, you do run into idiots. MANY times. But I'll be honest and say that I got my first clutch wins here. 50% of my entire technique was gradually built during my time in Ace league, learning hard lessons from people with many times my skill. It all depends on how you look at the league.
Think about it this way. If you got into a certain league with your skill level, wouldn't season players in this league be better than you (if their gear is at a comparable level to you ofc lol)

 

Been there (WAS there in early December lol, dropped down because of bad teammates), can relate. My tip is always, "Learn what you can, forget whatever you cannot." It's useless to hold on to the losses where you were completely outgeared. It's similarly useless to forget losses where your teamwork was lacking.

 

Look at how the enemy team worked, if your own was bad. It often takes a single kill to completely turn the tide of the battle.
