Re: Something Needs to Be Done About that Frickin Roadie Z!!

@tristkiss

He is totally balanced and my favourite Engineer, but what makes him even more balanced is he can even disable your abilities during immunity after a respawn. 

Your only way way to beat him is with primary weapon at range, or close if he's on you.

    I'm sure if you're the one playing as him it feels completely fair, because you know you have the advantage. But that certainly doesn't mean that it is fair.

    @Zaheen1337 you say he is balanced because he is your favorite engineer. That's what everyone said about rose at the beginning of the game because they used rose so much and switched teams to be on the plants again to play as her. Roadie Z is very OP.

    @mscherrybomb61You know what OP means?
    Write me a list of things that make a character overpowered and i'll give you a biscuit.

  • @mscherrybomb61

    I was actually being sarcastic. 

    He's broken as heck but I don't want to see any characters get nerfed after Rose died.

    I hope this helps your understanding 🙂

    Overpowered is when a character has many differents things

    - solid and safe but at the same time pretty strong

    - he has enough tools to impact the game alone

    - low counterplay mechanics (high burst/nuke potential)

    - high movespeed. Since movespeed is the most strong value in each strategic game. More movespeed means more pressure but also more way to avoid battle/skills

    - low risk high reward character

    - lacks of skill flow but at the same pretty rewarding.

    - too much utility options (so even when you're bad, you can still be useful)

    These are the commons. Roadzie has a huge impact in the game? No, he lacks range and has only one way to gap close you, and his gapclose is not even strong as scientists warp.
    You're going to die to him iwithout chances to survive?
    Probably if he catches you with his jackhammer and you don't manage to use your skills before he silences you.

    You're going to lose against him? Probably not. The lacks of range makes him not have a huge pressure in the game.

    Conclusion: Is not even close as OP, just a frustrating experience. And if you think i play him, check my name and you'll see what is my favorite Engineer Class 🙂

    Don't feed the troll any biscuits. 

    Yes, Rose is trash now as most of my threads detail the same, she should be buffed back to a moderate level, hopefully.

  • Roadie Z has nothing on electrobrains lol. I rarely see Roadie Z in games and when I do he isn't a problem. Having 2-3 electro brains on a team is a problem.
