Please help defender ship

it only takes one turbo to max the speed but these poor defenders are too slow just look at them big fat and a Big Target






Make The defender Great Again

 

Devs said that defenders are the 2nd most used with highest win rate according to their stats. So they use that 1 dimensional data to determine their decision which is very shallow. Devs need to divide the data into categories (fleet formation, level, rank, mk, infamy, etc...) to determine a wholesome decision.

 

Defenders are still good but you have to know how to use them and also have a fixer who knows what they are doing. I've often done games where I take lots of damage but as I have my shields high to reduce damage and double bandages the fixer can keep up. This leaves the rest of my team free to fire away at no risk of being shot! Obviously eventually I die but normally my team kill 2 or more first giving them an advantage and us a win

 

Defender can be good. It take a lot of effort due to their slowness just to be good. They just don’t have much potential to be great and make it to the top like the other boats. This is why defenders need help because the ship and blue slots just are not at par with the other counterparts.

 

I agree they need a boost, I love the idea of achievements like the weapons have for yellow and blue items. Could be number of wins with big shield and turbo attached, HP healed by bandage etc for blue's and number of ships stunned, bubbles burst and boosts used

 

Hopefully there will be some for fixers as well cuz we only get one red slot

 

2 reds at mk 6. Good Fixers are super OP in a good team. They are fine.

 

160k dmg from shooters and 150k heals from fixers. If defenders can tank 100k hits or even half of that, I would be happy. Defenders are only tanking 10% of that. See where defenders are lacking even when they try their best?

 

So you're saying there should be unkillable defenders with 100k health?

 

As a team yes. 100k dmg and 100k heals were done by two. If 1 shooter can do that 1 defender should be able to tank 50% of that. Defenders only tanking 10% at most 20% with a good fixer.

 

A defender with 50k health is essentially unkillable. The 100k damage was done over the period of the entire game. If a defender with half health of that charged into the enemy team 1v5, they would not be able to kill it for probably more than half of the game because they have to focus on enemy team as well, letting the defender destroy everything while being unkillable. And besides, the defender doesn't just take damage, it has 3 weapons as well.
Also, it is rare for a shooter to do that much damage.

 

I know what you mean. I just don’t know the proper % or multiplier. We just know that defenders are lacking all around. If upping the HP is the solution (may ot may not be), then there’s got to be a sweet spot which can reach balance between dmg, heals, and tanking as a team.

 

It's already got enough hp as of now. Defenders already can charge in alone into a team already and do a ton of damage, even potentially kill an unfriend (which isn't even the intended purpose of the defender)

 

Defenders aren’t defending either. Enforcers are tanking way more than defenders. It can do 50-60% of the dmg shooters potentionally can do just like enforcers.

 

That's a whole other topic. Besides, enforcers are only OP wth 2 bubbles, which is hard to come by.

 

In my league Ace1 and nightmare there’s always a double TS enfo.

 

Also, if defenders charge in for the kill, it’s a suicide mission. They can’t tank that much. They could take an extra 2 big torps or 1 mine compared to a tanky shooter.

 

What I said: "...even potentially kill an unfriend (which isn't even the intended purpose of the defender)"
Defenders have more defense points as well as health.

 

Extra 50-60 defense does nothing to dmgs doing 1000-2000-3000-4000 dmg. Doesnt even defend burns.
