Your opinion the current state of speeder.

I hope the Devs see this. Hey! Let's make a petition on change.org.

Title: Speeder too nerfed plz buff.

 

Yeah, I’ve been doing that since forever.

Here is a good example from yesterday...

But you can’t always count on being able to do that stuff. Sometimes you get an odd team with two Fixers and two Speeders, where you need to be able to hold a line, and do good damage.

Speeders are not like pawns, that can afford to be a bit rubbish, because you get lots of them. They cost your team the same as a Shooter or a Fixer, so they need to be able to pull their weight in combat.

 

I hear a lot of people who have gone down in Infamy since the new update, but i wonder who the people are who go up? I have not heard many here and why they are adjusting faster than others.

 

I don't usually pay attention to what infamy I'm at when messing around with different setups ... but I think I went up 600 last night (to around 4.8k)

So, I'm liking this update (less so with each hit fix, but it's still better than pre-update).

 

Thx lol

 

I love the current state of my speeder.

 

I severely question your use of frost and tritorp

 

Wanna 1 vs 1?

 

Current state of speeder: The good ones are still good, and wreck teams. The bad ones still run in and die in 10 seconds. End of story. Lmaooo

 

Speeder Main Evolution:

1. I tried switching to Enforcer main after the 2nd Agility Hotfix (Enforcer is very smooth to play now)
2. After 3 days, I was bored to death, ready to quit the game(infamy was holding between 3300 and 3600).
3. I switched back to speeder yesterday, because that is still my true love and the only ship I can play without getting bored after a few days and jumped back over 3600)
4. I switched to a medium range setup(like the @TheAntiSnipe suggested using a T5 Rare Explosive Cannon and T1 Legendary Ballpark mortar along with mostly rare yellow/blues)
5. Holding my own pretty good. Staying at medium range. Traversing the map at medium range and dodging shots. If I notice an enemy unfriend is extremely low HP, I will break off and go for the close range kill and typically sacrifice a lot of HP doing it.
6. If I get too close to 2 or 3 enemy shooters/defenders, I am essentially dead in 15 seconds after their turrets lock on me. There is no getting away anymore with the improved shooter/defender turret speed. No more close range brawling for me.
7. I might tweak my weapon setups/yellow items, but I think medium range setups are the key now to keeping Speeder viable
If you are rocking all Tier5 Epics or Tier 2 Legendary, then you can probably afford to play differently.

 

@BattleRascal here's a little peek at my speeder.

Close range is basically suicide these days but I think I almost doubled the damage of Orpheus' meta setup by ignoring waves/small obstacles.

 

Very well played, I like it. We will see how these medium range setups play out.
