I feel like my prayers have been answered.
- Ash nerf? Hell yes.
- No more softwall hole peek strat? Hell yes.
- Finka's health is a permanent add? Hell yes.
- Glass Shattering mechanic? Amazing.
- Smoke and gas now room locked? Praise be.
- Etc, Etc.
This game gets better all the time, and it has been amazing watching the game and community grow. Everyone saying "Dead game" could not be more wrong. After League of Legends, this is the biggest game in the world. All this community does is complain and complain. I am hyped for this update, and I can't wait for it to drop.
Finka jacking the whole team globally with a button push is way OP. Client-side bodies disappearing is a Pro League want, and I prefer to keep it as-is for immersion. Drone after death will hopefully die on the test server...as it's quite possibly the most ridiculous idea ever presented for Siege.
A lot of the changes this season are positive though, including the items you noted (aside from our difference of opinion on Finka), as well as many others.
I agree on the mentions, but not on the fact that the game gets better ALL the time. Most of the changes they implement are only addressed towards the pro league, but this time I feel like they've done a good job. BUT, I wouldn't hold my breath for the Ash and female-korean Ash (Vigil) nerfs, since they are more than likely to be really minor. Still, better than nothing, but the R4C needs a mag size reduction, too. Oh, and Ash needs a proper hitbox.Originally Posted by BBC_Br3adsticks Go to original post
Their qol improvements these last updates have been fantastic I agree but I kinda wish we'd get more content combined with that. Aside from that I feel like balancing is focussing on the wrong things as well continouisly nerfing ops that are overpicked or banned a lot instead of making the underpicked too weak ones more appealing. Glaz, Clash, Blitz, Gridlock, Kali, Montagne, Tachanka etc. have been barely picked and underperforming for years yet they dont get buffed or even nerfed more. Instead we get an utterly uncalled for nerf for Vigil who is allready quite mediocre and Ash where I can at least understand the thought process due to her high pickrate but it doesnt mean she is op just people like playing her. Ruining Mira and Maestro like that was also unnessecary.Originally Posted by BBC_Br3adsticks Go to original post
Overall the game is obviously far from dead and noone in the right mind would say something else looking at concurrent players but I have my concerns that if ubi keeps nerfing stuff in a couple of years every op will be 3 armour with a UMP with the recoil of the Scar.
Ash nerf? Only going to hurt lower level players hell ya!Originally Posted by BBC_Br3adsticks Go to original post
No more bullet holes ? Guess adaption is out of the game HELL YA
Finka health perm? Lets just get rid of learning how to play a character well! No brain abilities!
Glass shattering? Lets make an op that was praised for her meta changing ability practically useless!
Smoke and gas now roomed locked? Eh ok you got this one i agree with this being a good change.
