Boris turret is useless.

I think that too many people play BF now thinking that it’s a solo Player on Player game, and to be honest I’ve always considered BF to be more of a strategic shooter, than death match shooter. 

as such, for me the turret should be formidable, I should be able to lock down an avenue of approach with it. And it should be difficult to deal with. requiring a rock paper scissor type solution to deal with. I.e it could be hacked, or approached with a shield, or perhaps it’s field of view could be limited. 

of course everyone wants to be able to solo BF now so of course it gets nerfed. Anything that takes more than looking at to kill is too much for a lot of players apparently.

BF has become so dull to play.

Brother go play a tower defense a this point

It's insane you are complaining the game is ''dull'' because you can't just press a button and have the game literally do the job for you

Also insane that you complain about a solo centered game when you want to literally solo hold lanes with a turret doing most of the work

It’s not lost on me that a turret is essentially a more solo type tool. 

in which case it shouldn’t be in the game at all, like wise the robo-dog. 

But they are and as such they should be effective at something rather than nothing which they currently are. 

I don’t agree with this sentiment that these tools are doing your job for you. That’s just wrong imho. And like I said there should be counters, to unlock any avenues that have been secured, for either you or your team.

Also, there are many reasons the games dull not just the fact the turret is literally pointless.

Of course early on there were issues with too many turrets and that would become an issue again. But that could be countered by proximity limits to other turrets and limited turrets per squad. 

if we have turrets they should do something, I’ve seen so many people moan because it’s not a person or that it doesn’t take skill. All I can say to those players, is well tough, it’s a legitimate part of the game.

No just because it's in the game doesn't mean it should be powerful if it's detrimental to the gameplay which a turret 100% is, same with the ranger

The turret already does enough by being an all-seeing always watching spotting machine, asking for the turret to be deadly on top of that is 100% asking the game to do work for you

If the turret makes it easy to get at minimum a 1 on 1 trade every bot is gonna use it and it's gonna be miserable for anyone who just wants to play a game without having  to worry about an all seeing aimbot on a timer which is the majority of people

But hey we'll just have to wait for people to lose their * again for it to be nerfed again

No one likes playing against crutches

I agree, the all seeing feature of the turret is stupid.

id be happy if it’s range and angle of attack was limited, broader angle of attack at expense of speed/targeting. 
narrower angle of attack, faster targeting.

longer range at lower of power. Shorter range, more powerful. Could also combine rate of fire, vs power vs target speed. Perhaps only configurable in main menu. 

or, just get rid completely. Either way, at the moment. It’s worthless.
