defender needs a buff?

As you can see in the leaderboards, enforcers are absolutely dominating. Just like speeders did before their HP got nerfed a little bit.
Almost no defenders or fixers in top 50.

Maybe u should slow those enforcers? Reduce some HP? Or just rework Tesla shields somehow

Make something happen, when I play enforcer I'm about 800 infamy higher than my defender infamy. Right now I'm playing defender and I'm on 2.9k. Once I play enforcer I can easily hold 3.6k. I don't get it though. I don't even like enforcer, and still I'm so much better on it than defender. Pretty sad if u ask me.

 

i use enforcers all the time, and they are sort of the same speed as defenders anyways.
they should be close range fighters, hence the fast turret speed
tesla shields are crap enough
same with frost weapons (rip i loved those)
tesla bolts, ------- yes they are way too op in 1v1 battles
idk enforcers are confusing. i like using it tho. im pretty sure the developers didnt even intend people to use turbos on it... more a tanky sorta thing.
only not as tanky as a defender because of tesla shields and tesla bolts, which are like more hp anyway.
i cant see anything being nerfed...


there is a fixer near top btw

i just think defenders should get more hp for lols mainly, but also beccause they depend too much on you putting on shields.
they r the crappest at the moment. but with a turbo, they are good to go with speed. speed is fine.

 

think so too about the defenders atm, really crap ship, give more hp or something.

 

Enforcers are fine, they were the weakest ship before the buff, and now they are skyrocketing in popularity just because speeders got their tesla bolts nerfed. Hence speeder players made a quick switch to enforcers.

Defenders' hp is actually fine, but you know why they still die so fast? Because the boat has such slow forward and backwards acceleration, together with the huge hit box makes them a sure hit target for all weapons and free points for shooters to have high end game score.

Buff the acceleration of the defender so they can do some dancing, not half as good as enfo but at least let the defender evade some shots. Then you will see enfos getting countered by the presence of more defenders naturally. Problem solved.

 

Hate to disagree but enfo is balanced Imo or we could say most balanced ship than a speeder since Tesla bolt and EC nerfs came in. Speeders were wrecked with that nerf which makes it feel like enfo is OP. Previously it was speeder now it's enfo.

Also Tesla shields and enfo are two completely different aspects so we can't judge one by the other even if they go together most of the time in current meta. Enfo feels OP cos there is no boat other than a shooter maybe which can take it on or so we think. So nope. No nerfs. Not anymore please.

Think about buff. Buff is good.

 

lol just a bunch of people who like eforcers responded (like me)
i wanna hear an anti enforcer

 

Speeder main here. Never did use enfo much. Maybe 10-20 odd battles (pre-nerf) and a lot of custom ones for fun.

 

No nerf for Enforcer needed. A nerf in enforcer stats would just make a non-double Tesla Shield Enforcer useless. Another nerf in Tesla Shield would make both Enfo and Speeder useless.

If something regarding Enfos is needed, i'm not sure about this need, is to balance Double Tesla users. Balance, not fatality nerfing, since double Tesla Shield must be always an option. Some people have posted in so many similar threads that a higher diversity in setups is needed in order to counter Tesla Shield. I agree. I also agree that it must be a buff on Defender and some rebalance on other items like T.Bolt.

Nerfing Enfo and every single TS can't be an option.

PS: At least 10 Threads about the same concern in less than a month. Why spamming new threads about the same topic instead of bumping old ones? In fact there are already some ideas there. Go check

 

Nerf? No, thanks. The words 'overused' and 'skilled' doesn't mean 'overpowered'.
Regarding Tesla Shield, the cooldown is 20 sec, low duration in the mid-game, what the hell do you want?

Go play Candy Crush.

 

i will clos

So you think it's fine that 60% of the top 50 Are enforcers? Shouldn't a balanced game come closer to 20/20/20/20/20?

Don't be such a douche. If you're not putting anything constructive here you can also stop it.

 

I agree with defender buff but never enfo nerf and Tesla shield nerf.

 

Ok. First of all, your thinking is fair, but not real. You can’t tell everyone to stop playing their ship and jump to shooter because for you everyone has to be 20/20/20/20/20. I’m not in the top 50, same as the 98% of players like me. So don’t ask for a enfo nerf by only watching top 50. Those players are there because skills + money and most of them are older players, not because enforcer.

 

Every day, players are still getting destroyed by speeders with Tesla bolt, flare gun, ex cannon and Tesla shield.
Everyday players still getting destroyed by enforcers with double Tesla shields.
Everyday players still getting destroyed by defenders with flare and double ex cannons.

Did the weapons get nerfed? Yes!
Are they dead? No
Are they still popular? Yes
Are people mad? Yes!
Do the items suck now? No!
Do people somehow still manage to kick ass with these supposedly nerfed to death items? YES!

TLR With the exception of Frost Blaster, nothing is "dead". If you can't win as easily, just get food, uh I mean good.

 

Is there a "nerf shooter" thread?

 

rather than constantly nerfing, buff everything else to be just as viable. We've seen how conservative rovio is with buffs but how brutal they are with nerfs. Speeders, frost, tesla shield, repair pulse self healing? Do we really want to make enforcer worse than it already was before the buff like frost? And you're being completely inconsiderate of the players below your infamy. Enforcer at my infamy isn't as near as popular as the shooter for example

 

I think we should be lucky that only frost torp is "dead".

 

ok im sorry, i got to admit this post should be more related to how bad defenders are in the meta. theyre not completely dead, but almost. i apologize for shooting my hate directly into enforcers face. ship is actually somewhat fine, just gotta push some other ships so its more even in my opinion.

 

I just changed the title to , defender needs a buff? hope its fine now, most people agreed on this. sry for all the enfo hate
