I disagree. Uplink placement is important but we win battles with only 1-2 massdrivers. Define explosives? Forge's? We only have 1 as well. Uplinks can we dropped by either side making destroying uplinks and uplink placement part of the metagame.

I hope they tend to the uplink spam before it just becomes normal strategy in your average pub matches. Though honestly I've been seeing it more and more.

But tactics? Meh... just pick and objective, flood it with uplinks and spam spam spam.

Oh well i play pubs. our corp doesnt have enough members (nor the equipment) to go PC

Explosives? Grenades mostly... You can't say every other PC match we play is just locus nade spam all over each objective! Its pretty bad.

Uplink placement is important only cause you need to to continue to swarm objectives. It makes the games more action packed, which is nice. But tactics? Meh... just pick and objective, flood it with uplinks and spam spam spam.

too late

Thats the saddest part. Uplink spam has rendered tactics useless. uplink spam > tactics. Sadly, it has become a crutch to good corps. Ive played against a few good corps and went uplink chasing and completely demolished them simply bc they couldnt spawn on their uplinks.

I did fail to factor in grenade spam. This is a separate problem only semi related to uplinks though. But even then ZDUB count the number of nade kills in the corp vid's I'm not so sure they're as prevalent as one might think, nade's do take some skill to cook and throw. Nade's should be nerfed IMO, they're just their own noob tube cept AV nades. But uplinks? Nah I like the uplink meta. I wish they'd decrease the map visibility of them back to chromosome levels, minus the glitchy invisible ones.

Decrease the map visibility but put a hard cap of 3 active uplinks per person, same with nanohives. Uplinks are too rampant and, like a previous poster mentioned, make tactics worthless. The main "tactic" in PC is just: get high ground, uplink spam, kill enemy uplinks. Is it not? After that it's just who can explode the other team faster.

As far as explosions, you guys were great to play against cause it was actually challenging and fun because I was dying to something other than a nade or MD. Minus the locus Nades, most of TP actually consists of good gunmen which makes it interesting.

Ancient Exiles and Nyain San on the other hand... Talk about Mass Driver Brigade. Our game against them we ended up cloning them but the city was literally dominated by Nades and MDs. The killfeed was nothing but explosive weaponry. I've given up running ground in the city maps until I get my MD skilled up. You can't do anything against a squad of MDs running around flux + MDing everything in sight. When the tournament starts we'll see just how far corps are willing to go with the explosion spam.

It 3 were the max then they shouldn't even have imperial drop uplinks. There would be no use for them in light of having allotek, guaged, and flux, unless they were made the only ones Team based, which currently is not the case.

then we'd still have the same problem, TP's would just make 8 people drop 20+ proto links in the city instead of dedicating 2 people to the task and the rest purely to killing. You limit the meta, not evolve it. And it wouldn't even be well done.

The spam of explosives is much more of an issue than drop uplinks ever has been. The hellstorm matches were rediculius but they also could have been avoided if people had destroyed them. We had people walk right past uplinks to hack an objective and it just didn't work.

Better solution would be to remove team spawning on uplinks in FW in PC altogether. That way we aren't forced to use imperial drop uplinks and the meta evolves into ensuring you have enough uplinks per squad, but too many just becomes irrelevant since only 6 people can ever spawn on them.

Diminishing returns on spam is the proper solution imho.

The meta would just evolve to me or more switching between squads to drop 3 proto links per squad and then any on top of it is gravy.

Diminishing returns on spam is the proper solution imho.

And the counter resets. It shows your team and the other teams amount of uplink available in the deploy screen under the mcc hp.

Its everywhere and its really annoying.

and effective...

Uplink spam is destablizing PC without a doubt.

The entire game mode revolves around spamming uplinks and explosives.

Its too effective. Its better than tactics

Isn't it supposed to be a part of tactics?

Is spamming hadoken in street fighter a tactic?
