Instead let's look at what can actually be done about it from other perspectives. Other high slot modules could be made more attractive through stat buffing, for one. Brick suits could, as I mentioned, be made to endure more damage.

The idea of resistance plating/shielding was brought up before by Rattati, and could be a good way to negate splash for suits that decide to go the land-locked route.

So instead of talking about nerfing something awesome, let's come up with creative ways of counter-acting it.

There is no hard counter to it aside from itself, which is wrong, and you know that.
Resistance plating wont work (shields alrady take less explosive damage) without the resists being stupid high cos the only suit that would benefit from a balanced value is a heavy.
Another thing, why buff shield mods just because you want insane jump heights?
The myofibs are providing too much jump height, i have no problem with people jumping up high but 30 feet in the air from a stand still is stupid.

Dont get me wrong its fun, soooooo fun. but when a guy can jump in the air and throw a remote almost 20 feet it starts getting silly and is not very high risk.

But on another note, I am starting to wonder if the heavy is going to be in a good place once the meta sets in. Maybe the caldari and Min will be able to keep up as they have high slots, but the amarr and gallente? Those dudes are definitely land locked, and high ground > heavy suit whether they have an HMG or not. Usually banned for being too awesome.

Well the meta is 100% amarr sentinel right now, so happy if min/cal now get some more use, by being the more mobile sentinels. Based on playing yesterday and this morning, hmg sentinels are still more than viable. the ahmg is not good enough so I am working on a followup tweak hotfix. I agree it needs a bit of love, but careful how you do that. A tweak in the wrong direction and that thing will be the most OP weapon ever. Usually banned for being too awesome.

Just wish you had a proper team budget to make unique high jump animations. Something this cool needs a bit of character added to it. Usually banned for being too awesome.

During a PC earlier I tried one and I just felt completely ineffective. Jumpers are a hard counter, and classic stealth/speed shotgun scouts are also a hard counter. Remotes, also a hard counter. That's maybe too many hard counters to a suit that's already more difficult to position than other suits. Right now I feel like an HP or resist buff is somewhat warranted. It may take a while for pub stats to reflect it because pubs catch onto PC tactics at a much slower rate. The tools now exist in the game to deal with heavies in both an aggressive fashion and a siege-like fashion. I don't feel the jumpers should be nerfed at all, but the bricks need another layer of coating so they can at the very least endure the hail of gunfire coming from all 9 unholy directions.

Dont get me wrong its fun, soooooo fun. but when a guy can jump in the air and throw a remote almost 20 feet it starts getting silly and is not very high risk. Thats incredibly high risk. Traveling in the air like that you aren't changing directions. Not like strafing. Easiest kind of target to hit. But the high ground they can get to is where it's really advantageous. Infinite cover that cannot be bypassed. The guys below need something to help endure it, and it has to be something that fits into highs. If its something that fits into lows, it becomes redundant to even include it as the choice does not conflict with Myo's. In the last PC I was in I simply used a ACR to deal damage from above. Not from constant jumping, but just to get to high ground on the production facility. A splash weapon wasn't really necessary, although it would have certainly been beneficial. Being a land walker has its clear disadvantages, it needs clear advantages as well that can stand equal (but different!) to being a jumper. A damage mod and 100 extra HP really isn't that equal of an advantage. Usually banned for being too awesome.
