Remotes only recently made it to popularity because now they stick, tank spam, LAV fat suit drive by and hunting down 300 HP scouts with a vehicle scanner an a super fast animation to in an out of a car, spider rep tools an heavies, red line tanks, equipment spam in tiny rooms , full que sync squads of 12/16 of proto slayer logis with 6 scanners has been abusing this game and getting free kills for MONTHS!
So in beta I started using only remotes as a weapon, practicing, by 1.4 I achieved full bomber status with over 40 remote kills no gun, now this only happens when the opposition is really stupid, stubborn and cocky!
If you keep seeing REMOTES in the kill feed then you better get clever.
1. Take off your fat slow suit for that match
2. Don't spawn on uplinks an cru in hot gunfight area s it's the bombers job to force you to spawn far away an push you out, if you keep spawning because your stubborn or dumb that's your fault!
3. Scouts are usually bombers cuz their fast, dampened an cheap, so when you get overly aggressive with your op proto pub stomp be prepared cuz the kamikaze s are gonna hunt you down, so use a scanner and flux nades and get out of that tiny kill box you and your equipment spamming logis feel so safe in cuz your not, it's a stupid tactic and remotes or contact spam are gonna be the death of you so before mass drivers are fixed you better get out of this tiny room habit !
4. Remotes have always had a dead trigger, now that you know this isn't a glitch, KILL THEM FULLY, if you whine about this and your letting scouts that close to you, you FD UP! And when you do whine on the forums you look like the worlds most un situationally aware merc that is asking for a nerf to compensate for your own stupidity, lack of awareness an poor defensive tactics
5. Heavies get a reduction to this damage in 1.8 which should teduce the damage to 1125, and heavies I feel for you slow pokes, but really I don't , you chase people down on foot in urban areas lone wolf in cars an do hop outs getting free kills all day long, so maybe..... You should realize your not a assault an play your position, your a armored mobile turret , you should never be alone or chase anyone! Scouts are ambushing machines, we know where you are , how much stamina you don't have an we bait you and rely on your cockiness to kill you
6. If your not a heavie an you get killed by remotes, you got had, have no excuse an should re read this post.
7. Nerfing is not the counter to your stupidity and ignorance, ccp should not change any mechanic to remotes that have been the same since invention to accommodate a players arrogance an lack of situational awareness and constant stupidity, if you keep seeing remotes in the kill feed that's the sign of how many dumb people are on that team and if you see the same name dying more than once from remotes you know he's REALLY DUMB and repeating the same mistake over an over again.
So git gud! TLDR Lols at crutch user, ive shot all my bulletes in andead body for them not to bleed out and im shooting them and they detonate too, so situation al awareness is out the window
REs counter two of the more unstoppable things in this game: Heavies in CQC and tanks. How does this make them a crutch? If they were a crutch, bad players would use them to improve their game. Count the number of RE kills you see in a match vs. tank/RR (excluding HMG due to the event). Don't get killed by them if they're bothering you. It's not hard to not get killed by them really.

There's some about the free kills on people that don't flux objective before they hack them. But being able to toss the REs as far as you can now by jumping and using forward momentum is not right.
There was a time in the past where REs could be used as those OP grenades and it was terrible. The game has gone 360-¦ on this problem. It's CCP not learning their lesson when a remote explosive can be used as a grenade.
Sprinting to a corner, jumping in, tossing an RE, jumping out and running away is not skillful, it's exploiting a mechanic.
I wouldn't call it exploiting a mechanic, I would call it using the equipment offensively. There is more skill in what you described than in tank spamming and picking off randoms with a RR at 80m. People don't generally flock to tactics that require skill, rather they find ways to give themselves the upper hand in engagements whether it be position, range, stealth, tanking, etc.
There is something that is finally punishing people who think that armor tanking is god mode and rewards people for being quick and agile. I'm rarely killed by people running with remotes because I can just run/jump away. I love that the tables have turned and now there is something that can reliably kill anyone that is too slow to get out of the way. People finally have to have either speed or situational awareness. |
