Boris turret nerf & Angel armor nerf

Why did dice nerf the Boris's turret so bad it's basically useless now? 

They should have either nerfed it's damage/health/range or removed the orange highlighting of the enemy. But by doing both it's now so useless. Now you destroy it so easily with 1 clip and lose no health. Now the enemy can run by it and it doesn't even notice them. 

Why the Angel armor nerf? So now Angel can only give himself and his teammates ammo. The armour was the main reason to use him! He was the only specialists that did teamwork. There's already a ammo crate so why would anyone use Angel? He's so useless now.

    @DuaneDibbley That's my point. Without armor it's to difficult to consistently close the gap now. It ruined rush aggressive gameplay. But it's not just armour, the smgs now have more recoil. The maps are all so wide open with very little cover it's also hard to get close. I play on PS4. What do you play on? The K30 and MP9 have significantly more recoil. They did change the effectiveness of attachments so that could be why they have more recoil.
  • @CloverDeuceWhat don't you understand about inconsistent gun fights? Someone without armor plates takes 4 bullets to kill them. Someone with armor plates takes 5 or 6 bullets to kill them. Do you not see the inconsistently? The disadvantage is getting into a gun fight after you already used your 2 armor plates vs someone who just spawned in with armor plates.

    This game is way too fast pace to wait for his supply crates to land in. Plus you can't call it in while indoors. Maybe if they spead it up it would be better and more useful.

    He is easily the worst specialists. His only useable ability is to resupply ammo when EVERY specialists can choose a ammo pack themselves. And that ammo pack will resupply ammo and armour while Angels only does ammo.

    Why ever pick Angel over Falk? She can do all of her healing/revive abilities, then choose a ammo pack to resupply her teammates ammo and armour. To reiterate her ammo pack is even better then Angels because she can resupply ammo and armour. Angels only does ammo. She's twice as good as Angel.

  • @CarreraLuuI love how you claim I'm crying while in your same post you're crying about Angel and armour packs. We all see why you're glad he got nerfed. The fact of the matter is armor packs are still in the game so you still have to deal with them. No one even uses Irish because getting +5 armor does very little in this game. That doesn't even add 1 built to ttk. Plus this game is so buggy you have a 50% chance of even picking up the dropped ammo from the killed enemy.

  • @CarreraLuuI'm was a Boris user and never hid behind my turret. I've rarely seen Boris used like that. To be honest he was a middle of pack used specialists. I simply use it as an alarm system or to cover my six. For example if I'm protecting the top point on Orbital I'll put it on top of one stairs as I'm guarding the other stairs. My turret rarely got kills, to me it was simply a useful squadmate. Squadmates never stay and defend a point.

    @HARLEMnycityI've been crying to get angel armor removed from day one because it makes the game imbalance. I'm glad it's gone and it levels the playing field now. I play on ps4 slim as well. Are you like 12 years old dude? You complain about things that were overpowered now gone. If you never played the previous titles such as BF3/BF4 then I dunno what to tell you...Those games did not require armor and it was fun and very balanced. You just want things your way, while everyone else suffers.

  • @CarreraLuuI've been playing shooters for over 20 years now. I'm complaining they changed a game that very few people still play. None of my friends still play. No popular battlefield YouTubers still play. None of them stopped playing because of Boris or Angel. Tbh I rarely read any complaints about Angel. They stopped playing for much bigger and important reasons. Dice should focus on those things and not nerfs. I can just find the new "best" specialists and weapon. Or I can just learn to dominate in the Condor which seems really powerful. But they'll just nerf those to. For a game with so many problems still and such a small player base what's the point?

    Dice needs to fix the maps. Add more maps. Improve the game modes. Add more game modes. It doesn't need to nerf weapons or specialists. If they're putting resources into nerfs then the major problems may never get fixed.

    @HARLEMnycity I get revived pretty often but must admit I play with friends in a squad and not one of us thought boris was even remotely overpowered…..
  • But you’re ok with a ballistic shield, grapple, and wingsuit? There was nothing wrong with the armor, this is bf 2042 not bf 1942. The only thing they should have removed is the ability to give others armor without reviving them, and the torrents ability to spot and highlight your position.

    BF2142 had turrets as well. (It's been a long time, but)

    -They couldn't spot

    -Deploy time of a few seconds

    -Could only shoot in a limited angle, not much vertical, maybe 120 horizontal.

    So even 100 years in the future Borris's turret is still OP.
