why on earth are you constantly nerfing the EQ players...?
Who has asked for this final nail in the coffin of the uplink? The change to half the amount of spawns with only compensating with 1! extra UL on advanced is completly pathetic.
Let me elaborate, we already have way to few links in the field since the bandwith changes you put in. In most pubs I play in, there seem to be 1-3 uplinkers at most. Usually I'm one of them. I try to find good spots which might take some time, and if the spots are good, the links are exausted within les then 1-2 minutes. So what am I supposed to do, have at least two uplinks for each location and cycle through suits and always bring proto just to have enough spawns?
I often end up dying and my links are already exausted, and nobody had the wisdom to put more down...
I hate this change with a vengeance, since it AGAIN favors the Proto scrubs who don't die and run in logi trains. They will have links at all times, but these will always be where they are, no more strategic backup links for longer periods, because they run out all the time.
This also makes matches more unbalanced, since who ever has perma linkers - wins, and if the link guys decide to go AV, they loose links (because of BW) and usually will spawn with hives to resupply their AV. This is making matches just much more of a drag because you have to run longer ways to get back into the action.
Please please Rattati, make it at least that we can choose, have the quantum variants work as before, so that we can put down some links in safe places that last a little longer.
From patch to patch, the link situation worsens, I actually would like to see even a BW reduction for links, since most of the matches I loose are lost because of to few links.
HOWEVER, I like the change for the hives, because it makes sense here! For the links however it only makes the situation worse. I really have less and less fun with the EQ changes, it becomes more and more a chore to support your team. You are locked into a logi suit and can't do anything else, just to keep the momentum of your team, and still you die to the smallest arms fire because you need some speed to get around the map quicker.
The only guys who like these changes are the slayers in fast suits, because they don't need to check for links anywhere, since they insta deplete anyway. It's harder and harder to get your team back into action, but that seems to be wanted anyway!
So happy stomping, to all the proto scrubs, I'll just leave the match in the future, as soon as I see a linkless map on the respawn screen. It's just not worth the hassle!
