Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

And as long as this game mode allows ppl to really nuke down other people in a second, you cant do anything as healer, no matter how good you are.

Agreed. I've seen players die in less than 10 seconds, starting from full health. Seriously, I counted, it took 9 seconds exactly for a ninja to kill a team mate in FLs. Why is this a thing? I'm in HUGE favor of a damage nerf across the board [50%], I've never played a game where you could kill someone so fast, it's insane.

What's not being said: Limit break/Adrenline was involved.

Sorry but that's not 9 seconds. That's about 30 seconds of buildup for a single target Nuke that wasn't interrupted. That's the fault of the team, not the mechanics. MOBA games have characters possible to be nuked down in less than a second. 9 seconds is more than generous to respond to. It was just a bad gank.

I wonder if that might have been because of a lack of gear. I've noticed a bunch of fresh 50s lately. A fresh 50 tank will have less hp then an 80+ Healer in non-Vit gear.

It's possible, but mainly speculation at this point. I wasn't dieing that much fresh as a tank, but I was playing cautious then and relying on Shield Oath to make up the defensive difference. This may have not been the case.

Still, asking for a 50% damage reduction across the board would have to also be met with a 50-60% healing reduction in turn. It's already nearly impossible to lock down and kill a 3 healer setup in 8 man without a two-team focus fire or lots of sleep usage.

Snip

Be that as it may 9 seconds is a bit much for a nuke, dont you think? I main healers/squishies is most games I play and never encountered such a quick a gank. I dont necessarily think this qualifies as a "bad gank" because what was the poor guy to do? He cant cast without being interrupted and theres so much damage being thrown at him in such a small time frame he couldnt even react to it, even if there was a way (which there pretty much wasnt).

Just because something is "fine" (melee), doesn't make it optimal.

It's mechanics are unbalanced, pre made can only be countered by other pre made and Ps4 cannot keep up with the fps at mid on 72. I think blaming one class for exploiting slaughter broken mechanics isn't the answer. Just come play secure with me .

Dude it's a cropped screenshot... it isn't every single person in the match.

I assumed that much. *chuckle* But if the Tank is dieing 6 times a piece, just how dead were the healers and how many of them were there?

COMETEOR!!!!

Doesn't matter. With or without healers, the screenshots show the same thing.

Actually... they'll show if the Cometeors were clustered on the healers and the Melee were too busy being crowded together, or if the Melee over extended on top of being rained death upon.

Mainly, I wish to satiate my desire for all the carnage details. But I'll take a few screens myself if I get into a match or two before FC events start.
