Things are changing.
They are nerfing the shotgun scouts that need the nerf, and we are catching as much of the blow back.
You won't be able to dodge short range scans.
You won't be able to take on multiple targets because of shared scanning.
If you miss, you will show up on their radar, and all they have to do is spin and blow you away.
Minjas aren't over performing, as far as I know, but we are still getting as much of a nerf as anyone else, and I am trying to think of changes we can make as early as possible so that when we see how 1.10 affects us so we can make whatever changes necessary to bring us back into balance without removing the changes that are nerfing the over performing scouts.
What may lead to over performance in the current circumstances might not be under different ones.
It is not too early to think ahead.

He said something smooth like "man, I don't mess with that sh*t; jumping wipes out your stamina, and stamina is what you need to get away or get to the next guy."
But Musturd is forgetting something very important: Raptor jumping is badass Not that mustard is not badass in his own right. But there are a few styles of knifing out there. I like the Side Slash as well as the Raptor, also once you've maxed out the damage potential raptor jump is less of a necessityGǪ Scalpel working is sometimes better, but they work better situationally victims suit, awareness, how many other victims are aboutGǪ What techniques are there? I usually just come from above... or below... or beside... anywhere you can run from. I don't even know where to begin with this Many people, particularly when they first start Knifing go for the Static style Cutting up the stationary targets Victims are Snipers, people hacking objects, standing in doorways (why they do this I will never understand) Speed cutting is probably what I do mostGǪ Never stop moving. Around corners, off catwalks, constantly hunting people down. Damage is huge for this because It's not often you get a full charge hit. Lot's of run up beside and angle slashing. Quick turn for the hit after getting a bit in front of them. This requires using their field of view against them. People packing Plasma Canons are easy victims from the right side. Raptor is a great move chasing down those suits who move fast, and are all alone. people know this one pretty well i think Opportunist strikes are pretty common as well. This is just relying on stealth and victims simply being unaware of your presence. I think this happens a lot and is the natural progression from the hitting stationary targets. Many a Gal Knifer uses this technique, and can be accomplished without speed fairly easily in large socket settings.
This pretty much summarises my knifing. Particularly being a Gal scout. I treat it like a very powerful shotgun side arm.
We'll bang, OK?

If NK performance slumps post 1.10 ... (spitballing) ...
+ Increase base movement speed when NKs are equipped + Instant clone termination on takedown (silences shared passives) + Set NK stun_on_hit to a high value (interrupts the insta-spin)
Even if NKs end up fine ...
+ Reduce backpedal speed. |

I should qualify my previous statement: NKs as they currently are should not get sprint while charging. If you could sprint and charge they would have to get a pretty sharp damage decrease to balance the change. If you could sprint charge with the current damage numbers they'd be ridiculous.
So I'll do some spitballing myself. What about frontloading the damage into the first strike? So that instead of 50% for each strike, it's more like 60 for the first 40 for the second. Actually on second thought I don't know if that would be a buff or a nerf, so maybe not. Which strike is more likely to hit, I wonder?
Backpedal speed reduction pretty much needs to happen, I see no reason for it to remain the way it is. I don't know of any other FPS games with 100% backpedal, so I doubt it would be missed by the average player.
I don't think NKs need a damage buff, and I don't think they should give increased move speed. Though as a knifer I would love extra speed, it would certainly be abused and it's a pretty inelegant solution. I'm not completely opposed to it, but I don't like the idea of people running around with knives out just so they can get around faster.
The dream fix would be reduced backpedal speed + a damage efficiency bonus to backstabs imo, but I doubt the latter would be easy to implement. Another fix I would like to see is an increase to minnie scout walk speed, but I don't know if walk speed and sprint speed are values that can be adjusted independently. A wider swing arc on KNs would also be great.
(While we're filling out the christmas wish list, codebreakers getting moved to high slots would be pretty amazing too)

(While we're filling out the christmas wish list, codebreakers getting moved to high slots would be pretty amazing too) We agree that under the current system they should not get sprint charge. And we agree that backpedal speed should be reduced, regardless what happens like Quil says.
My concerns have nothing to do with damage, so I have no problem with where they are in terms of damage.
My issues are with circumstances surrounding knifing and how they will be changing in 1.10, how it is very dampening dependent, is more greatly affected by the small field of vision than any other weapon, unbeatable short range scans, super duper squishiness, and shared passives.
I can't think of any other play style, other than perhaps AV, that makes as many concessions in order to do its role.

IF Nova Knives as a playstyle needs something in 1.10, these ideas are great! I'm not fond of a backstab bonus, its the easiest place to hit them, it deserves no critical hit. |

Had a few more matches like that though not with numbers that high.
Last much of the night J0LLY was in We were on the same side though so no Knife fight.

In the spirit of raptor-kills and headshots, I recorded a match yesterday where I used a leap-kill one time during a very intense engagement, got the headshot damage bonus and survived because of it.
I was in a hacking fit, not my usual knifing fit. It may also be worth noting I play on m/kb
This is a very short video, headshot is at 0:44.

I've been thinking about this a little bit, and how, when someone is dead, their passives continue to be shared with their squad until their clone is terminated.
If you are taking advantage of the fact that they couldn't see you on TACNET to kill a group of people, it only means one thing: that group of people are not on coms together. What I am trying to say is that having someone's shortest scan broadcasted to TACNET after they die, revealing your position to the rest of her/his squad, is basically the same as trying to take out an organized squad with coms. When you kill one, they will all turn around whether you are on TACNET or not. You have to embrace this as an added difficulty but also a NECESSARY one if you ever hope to up your game and face PC level opponents. I am guilty of taking advantage of my target's silence hundreds of times. That will soon change, but hopefully will prepare me for a much higher caliber of opponent. |

Just thought of a legit bright side to 1.10.
Since a lot of people will naturally gravitate towards medium frames with scans, at least when you are in squads as a scout you can feed off that info while cloaked instead of relying on crappy scans and active scanners.

MinAss can't dodge scans.
Minja can.
I still plan on 2x damps and a cloak. IIRC, cloak bonus is going to be increased as well, which means I can avoid passive scans with my cloak on. De-cloak, stab. Re-cloak, run.
