Lis single-handedly destroys enemy airforce and armor, and it's broken AF

There is literally no reason to play any other engineer over Lis at this point. It's not just because Boris and Crawford are low-tier and possess underwhelming gadgets.

Almost everyone picks an engineer because they need a rocket to fight vehicles. Lis comes with a free missile launcher, so she can also come packed with C5 or an AT mine. What's more, the recent buffs to her missile launcher are just INSANE. Helicopters have nowhere to run to, not even "safe zones" inside their team's captured territory, because the range of each missile has been almost doubled. I simply cannot fathom why anyone at DICE thought this was a good change.

You DON'T want her missile launcher to be too powerful because it makes everything else obsolete. It's a freakin' guided rocket ffs. You cannot dodge it if you wanted to. Its primary purpose before was to harass enemy armored vehicles, like tanks and MAVs, because they naturally are not very agile. But being able to now take out enemy attack helicopters -- and even jet fighters -- with relative ease is just incredibly bad. This is made worse by the fact that anyone -- ANYONE -- can just spawn in as Lis the moment they get killed by a pilot and get instant revenge. Trying to dodge 6+ guided rockets every minute of flight time is just impossible, and it simply makes piloting no longer worth the trouble.

I've taken out more air vehicles with Lis in the last 24 hours than ever before previously, and honestly I just feel bad every time I get such cheap kills on pilots. This is a huge problem.

Inb4 all the salty "infantry-only" players just say, "Good, I hate vehicles and never wanted to play with them. Wish they were just deleted from the game."
