VIDEO: Frost bolt & launcher are OP, and here's a great example of it.

Both the FB and FL has already been weakened and reworked in so many updates. It is no where near as OP as it was before. Launcher is only recently getting some love with minor buffs and the frost effect/duration isnt that strong even if it is AoE.

This is probably because of the TB nerf, more users are leaning towards frost since TB has been weakened. Personally I think its great to see all 3 yellow items in the bay, Its way better than just TB and FB all day. Atleast now I am seeing more and more FL users.

 

Not gonna happen, and i will tell you why,befote the frost launcher was basicallt annunused item so to promote effectiveness they tweaked and buffed its effects and what's nots. The frost blaster on the other hand was tweaked because it was discovered that there was a bug in its effects andnit was brought up to WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. T5E first freezes 84% which means you are 84% slower than usual. In terms of the other guy,poison he had a problem with this for so long,even insulted smile shark for it. This strategy is no different then dropping two and three firebombs on unfriends heads. And it's 50% healing cuts

 

Don't know who poison is really or who he insulted. But i saw a post about frost, and decided to share my beliefs about it. Nerf or not really lies in hand of devs. As for frost launcher, it was necessary to promote is early game usage, but as the crew training passes it gets around 45% increase in projectile speed, which i think can be really powerful. I don't have any problem with the power of launcher, just that it awards a little too much success for easiness of its use. But, hey these are my beliefs and i don't want to ruin anyone's combo(I KNOW THE FEELING WHEN YOUR FAVORITE WEAPON GETS NERFED HARD, TESLA SHIELD )

 

I also suffered with tesla shield nerf especially since I play enforcer and plan to use 2 of them

 

If rovio is going to nerf the frost weapons then as a support speeder or enforcer we would all have to have legendary maxed turbos standard to out run insane mortar fields and everything else they throw at us. Please understand the support ships don't have the same level of health or total DPS others are in theory enabled to dish out. The yellow items like frost or stun allow support ships to support attacks when the can't get that close due to risk of too much damage...or flee the scene before certain death. This also promotes team play and strategy other than just blow the opponents away. It's a trade off we traded red slots for yellow and we loose health doing so. The ship itself has a nerf in health to compensate for this trade. I think it's fair enough and the frost weapon doesn't need a nerf.
Consider testing an enforcer or speeder with a frost weapon "a mile in another persons shoes" and yes i've also played other ships and understand the annoyance of being stunned or frozen.

 

What wavemaker said. We Speeders have two weapons going up against shooters with 5 and defenders with triple our hitpoints, we rely on yellow assists. Speeders are always either the first killed or last alive, it's a high risk reward, one big torp or high level mine we are done for.

 

Right lol, yesterday at mk5 i turned a corner and from the time i seen the first enemy and the time i died was no sh!t 1 sec, i run a rudder and couldnt even turn a quarter of a turn befor i died

 

In speeder, if they can hit you, you are DEAD.
Why do you think OB/nitro is essential?
