Just because some people can't be bothered to watch the enemy's movements or some people have trouble adapting to a new enemy tactic doesn't mean it should be reverted to the previous method.
Tell me, what exactly makes this new method better? Adapting is not the issue. I don't say it is annoying because I die to it, that is my fault, I say it is annoying because it's a get out of jail free card. Get caught out of positioning? Better throw a grenade at my foot.
I used that method last build to great success. It took different timing of course but I was consistently getting more kills in the old build. Now everyone is doing it and more people are responding to that threat by paying attention and getting out of the way.
Now honestly I liked the old method fine (perhaps because it worked for me who knows  ) but the point is that the current method didn't introduce something new it just made it more accessible and thus more high profile.
Honestly I'm ambivalent regarding which method is used/more balanced, I won't cry if they keep this method but I'd welcome a return to the old way as well.

Additional: I'm wondering how many people are actually spending SP on nade skills now, and how many people are investing in best fit shield and/or armor to prevent a militia nade from OHK'ing them. (I've run up against one proto Assault who took 2 militia nades and still had a sliver of life left. I wish I remembered his name because I want to ask him what fit he was running  . Either way props to the guy for his fitting chops.

^True post is true. Seems like the bablefish is partly deranged and keeps mistranslating "do not like" into "is not balanced" when converting from Gamer into standard english. This forum is rife with examples of the poor babel fish coming up short.

EDIT: Also, getting more nade kills than AR kills doesn't make grenades bad, it means you work better with them than the AR
And of course "since the grenade spam". I never said there wasn't one. There is currently also a Mass Driver and Laser Spam.
The above amuses me slightly, simply because there aren't as many nades, drivers or lasers on the field in this build as there were ARs in the prior, and there are still more ARs on the field in any given match than you could expect to see lasers or drivers in the prior build.
The amusement comes in that the average response then was in essence "well it's an AR that's to be expected" but in this build lessor numbers of other more diverse weapons are now "spam". (Note: I know your views so I'm sure what I've outlined above doesn't actually apply to you, it just reminded me of the trend and gave me a chuckle.) |
