Thread: 4.18 update discussion

Actually, considering mammets are the autopilot function of the game mode, I'd be fine with them not being able to heal mammets. I'd rather they fix Soaring on healers first, but remove the ability for healers to just effectively block any objective by being there, and maybe they'll actually have to work with their team to stop incoming threats instead of just restoration tanking whatever they want.

The cannons were an effective line of defense. If by some chance I had some random runner going for the core and I could hop on a cannon in time, I could drop him faster that way than if I were to skirmish with them. That goes double if they were a healer. I could take aim and start trying to destroy or fend off an enemy mech if they carelessly entered cannon range, and for all but the blind spot, I could actively defend the core. Couldn't hit everything, but what I hit counted tremendously. Cannons did their job just fine.

Nah, this is fairytale, honestly. Let's not assume that people are idiots 99% of the time.

If you don't have a healer, they will kill you in 5 or 7.5 seconds(aka 2-3 GCD, depending on how many attacks you), unless they are blind or you are a tank.
Most of the time only a small number of people try to intercept enemy Opressor and if they don't have a healer, they die fast.

Sometimes it's better to wait(a little) for a Chaser, than going and die with 3k damage dealt. So that Chaser can divert attention and you can safely DPS an Opressor.

On topic: i seriously think that they will nerf Brute Justice in the next "evaluation".
How dare it to be that effective #2 (#1 was Cannons)

People really underestimate BJs effectiveness and when -cough- someone waste one or two it can lead you to a loss solely because of that, i.e. those 2 players, who can't aim and don't know what they are doing in a BJ. Sure, people want to learn(how BJ works), but it will cost a game for other 23 people.

One Brute Justice used:



BJs now even more stronger at attacking enemy Core, considering a new Cannons.

TL;DR Back to slacking in Shatter and Seal Rock. Need 90 Shatter and 80 Seal Rock wins :x
