Ah, you people are retards or something, they rush at you in building, no traps just rushing

No because jihod Jeep is the only way to kill proto tankers

I'm getting a bit tired of REs as well, but I realize that, for the most part, if I walk into a RE trap, it's pretty much my fault, and that my game needs to be stepped up a tad. That having been said, there are a lot of FOTM players abusing them at the moment. I would like the following changed:

1) No throwing REs: Proximity explosives don't work that way, why should REs? People weren't complaining about them before because you couldn't throw them any significant distance, so they had to be placed carefully -- which means if you walk into an RE trap, it was pretty much your fault. That's fair, I never got mad by getting blown at an objective when hacking; I should have chucked a grenade in there beforehand. But seriously, players are chucking them close range like grenades now, and it's ridiculous. The distance you can throw those things needs to be nerfed into the ground -- enough to put them on a wall or ceiling maybe, but not much more than that.

2) They should be visible equipment, same as enemy uplinks and hives. All enemy equipment shows on the map when your suite is within a certain distance to scan them, and there's no reason enemy REs shouldn't operate exactly the same. I would prefer that they become visible at their maximum radius, so that if you are close enough to see them and they blow, you at least take splash damage, but at the very least, they need to show when you are within it's most powerful blast radius.

I expect a lot of FOTM players to hate these suggestions, but too bad -- too many of you are using REs as crutches for your horrible gun game. I ran into a bunch of proto scrubs last night who did nothing but spam core locus and REs from the underground supply depot in the new research facility Dom, which they ended up winning cause nobody could move down any of the hallways. Couple matches later we met them again on one of the open maps where they couldn't spam explosives (the dom with the tall spire on top of the steep hill at A), and ended up causing most of them to go negative clone-wise.

This is just as bad as the nerf nades. They are explosives for a reason. Need bigger boom if you ask me.

lol leave the poor guy alone re spaming vs infantry is getting pretty ridiculous. its a free world u can cry if you want to lol
