its ALWAYS been able to do that.....
whats changed that makes it OP now VS 6 months ago when it was widely reguarded as UP
(hint: the answer is nothign at all, its always been bale to do this, the only thing thats changed is public opinion and popularity)
No.
Before it had 5/2 slots. You could stack shields, but you always had **** armour. It's the FotM now because it has 4/4 slots. Everyone wants 4/4 slots, you can fit 800-900 hybrid hp with no movement penalty.
It's OP now compared to what it was. And that is why it's FotM.
Yes it was always fast, but it also didn't have armour to protect it against Scramblers and ARs which balanced it out. Now it has everything and is really obviously OP.
its FOTM because the top players use it to abuse KB/M super strafe mechanics, and those particular players dont even stack plates.
everyone sees them doing well and cant seem to hit them/win a fight and so they jump on the bandwagon while at the same time they dont have a clue as to WHY the top players are using that particular suit, so they use their own logic and come up with some dumb reason they "think" its OP without understanding why it was being used int he first place.
heres a hint, if you think the minassault is "OP" becuase of its current slot layout or the amount of armor you can pack onto it, then your simply wrong. its strength is that its currently the best suit to use with KB/M super strafing now surpassing teh cal scout now that its wallhacks dont privide enouhg advantage over the EHP difference you can get by using the min assault.
in short KM/B super strafing is OP, the minassault is just the currect vehicle for that mechanics abuse, basically because the cal scout no longer gets super wallhacks the next best choice was minassault, it has nothing to do with the slot layout and everything to do with a combination of available EHP and base strafe speed.
nerfing the min assault does absolutly nothing to this because the mechanic being abused isnt suit based, the KB/M super strafers will just jump to a new suit like they did when the cal scout got nerfed.
the FOTM hassnt changed, FOTM is still KB/M super strafing and has been that for quite a while, and nerfing the min assault will not change the FOTM to something that isnt KB/M super strafing.
