Nessies are not fun and should be taken out now.

Nessies are basically un manned turrets and it's been a long time unified opinion that self operating turrets in game suck and are not fun. Nessies are not only not fun for the user as any damage th...

I used nessie yesterday and they are more accurate than I thought, over 75% hits.
Nessie shot a lifeline in the butt and dealt 24 damage to her shields.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback! We've made some changes to pull back on that Nessie power just a bit, and while I know this isn't the full removal some were hoping to see, let us know how the adjustment feels!

If I've been playing for an hour, would I already feel the changes, or start a new match, or close and update if there's an update?

It's not the count that bothered me, my buddy an I just owned an Octane who was using Nessies and his partner, and we didn't have nessies. I had void and enemy Caustic had Void. I don't think my Watson had a kit. Purple&Red vs Purple&Red. Void&Null vs Void&Nessies. Null (my team) won.

The biggest problem people are having is that a nessie will beeline to enemies across the map and hiding behind walls. They don't lose the enemy. That's their problem. Even though you reduced the count, I still feel like people will still cry bloody murder about being found by nessies.
It's the rangefinding that needs work.

Right, while this isn't currently adjusting the actual behavior, hopefully the lower frequency at least gives people more windows to deal with them or prep for a push without the constant barrage.

As far as I'm aware that should be live now, but let me know if you're seeing otherwise and we can pass that along as well.

My brother had a thought, what if it's just Respawn Devs controlling the nessies to go out off yonder and hunt people?

Because normally it's only one of the nessies that takes the fight 100m+ away from its user. The other just kind of... sits. Or goes unnoticed.

🤣 Octane main Nessies, clearly.
