Let's settle another debate. (poll)

Porthos made amazing vids (by far the best BB content I have ever seen), but his style was to make people look good - You could easily take your argument and apply it to every single class.

Fixers did not dominate the top of the leaderboards before we got nerfed. Yes there was often 1 or 2 in the top 10, but slaughtering Fixers high end potential in an attempt to better balance low level play was (imo) a horrible design choice.

 

Buff other ships nerf works only when chance of creating other setup in specific frame of time. Battle Bay RnG is cruel unless you have other gear ready.

 

It’s could be :
Decrease talents for +10% speed to 5%
Reduce Base speed for mk6-7
Increase Cool down for Tesla bolt to 25-30 sec
Reduce 1 weight from blue slots , add 1 to red
Add possibility protect/ dodge stun
Add possibility self and teammate removing burn effect
Add option for flame ignore some % of armor like 50%
Reduce flame duration by some healing item
Increase hit box model
And so on... but it’s just my opinion and suggestions ... all possible fixes should be tested exhaustingly and well balanced.
My goal it’s not nerf speeder, it’s just balance on endgame(nightmare).

 

Imo fixer and enforcer is the only class than can overpower a speeder but ob, pulse nerf just took fixers out of picture completely. Even after stun, hp, ob nerf speeder still dominates the top just because of its maneuvering.
Playing a fixer is so painful I was one at mk4 and it is even hard at 3k+ level because fixers are prime target and they have no sustainability flare stun Ec flare stun done, fixer is dead.

 

Nope reducing speed will take speeders out of action and so do blue slot reduction. Speed and maneuvering is its strength.
Takeout - 30% heal debuff add option to remove fire its good option.

 

Taking out blue slot means speeder will be barely 5k no speed means easy target. Basically it will be underpowered enforcer with no reversing ability.

 

It was not ubalanced when it was 100%, and when Overboost was always on & when Fixers had higher health.
I cant see why halfway undoing one of the nerfs would suddently make fixer dominate when it didnt before

But obviously devs agree with you & are doing their best to keep Fixers away from anywhere near the top of the leaderboards.


Fixer is a pathetic boat compared to before. More than anything the nerfs has drained the fun from the class. Before you had builds and options, different playstyles functioned. I miss not having to always hide. (Dont give me the Tape nonsense unless you can mention someone with a respectable infamy).

 

I know,But excluding the fixer,Look how shooters were destroyed.We should atleast have good 4 vs 5 chance of competing against them.It looked like one sided match.Also if you notice entire team targetted enforcer because it seemed viable

 

Quit nagging we all know the enfo buff is not happening. That's just devs are they already nerf it so why buff it again? I have been waiting for the enfo buff since last year and nothing happened I lost hope. They are quite disappointing tbh.

 

that was like 1 year ago? enfo sucks at nightmare leagues even the best enfo switched to speeder that's how bad it is. you get it? if you look at the enfo nerf it's a lot worse than speeder tbh.

 

First I strongly agree (with "everyone") that endgame is what you need to balance -- At lower levels the infamy system handles balance for you. And if nothing else, you can look forward to outleveling the imbalance. Poor balance at peak level is a much larger problem (everyone starts at equal infamy every 2 weeks, and there is no hope of escaping the imbalance). Good mmos put almost all their balancing efforts into endgame for a reason.

I could think of many things, some combination of some of these:
- Revert the absurd Repair Pulse nerf (never going to happen I guess - it would be admitting to being wrong before)
- Bring Fixer HP up (having rockbuttom HP was fine when the boat could combine selfhealing with teamhealing)
- Consider if Flare Gun really needs to be so good vs Fixers as it currently is (Even with 2 pulses ticking I cannot outheal a single Flare Gun.. its absurd how easy it is for a Flare Gun speeder to kill a Fixer ---- Even a trash speeder player like me can routinely assasinate a Fixer at will)

Over the past few months Fixers has had their primary item (the only 2p green item even) nerfing heaviliy, Fixer hp was nerfed, Fixers primary movement item was nerfed & meanwhile they released legendary weapons which have brough burst damage through the roof. Damage is vastly outscaling healing at high end.

But I know its a lost cause -- They nerfed Fixer when it wasnt dominant, so they probably think its fine because Fixers are doing good at mk4+5!

 

Master League? Not really. I've actually had a few battles lately where there were 2 or more, not including me, Enfos in a match. I think I see much more enforcers(this is including those shooters that decided to try the enforcer) there than defenders. I personally managed to get to Master League II(getting promoted next season) with my mk4, 1980 health Enforcer, even with all the mk5 competition who have like twice the amount of my health(Might be an exaggeration, but not a big one).
And you would know better than me about Ace League, but I agree with you on this one after seeing the many pictures of 3000 infamy players being matched with 5000+ infamy players.

lol. So true.

Umm, no thanks. It would be quite a loss for so many people who have invested their resources into turbo and rudder. Also, I don't want to see supper mobile shooters, who move like enforcers.
