Mackay strafe movement speed nerf?
Any chance that Mackay strafing can get a nerf? At times it's really annoying tracking him compared the other specialist. Guy can dodge bullets faster than neo from the matrix. Everything he does is...
Forum Discussion
@l_Grand_Vizir_l we didnt say to kill him off... we asking for the devs to look into his ADS speed, not his grappling hook.
First we have a long tradition from Dice to go from "sligtly too powerfull" to "quite bad" when it's time to nerf... That's why i'm scared with this discussion here.
Second i think the problem with MacKay comes from his graplin Hook, this is what makes this caracter soo strong. For second trait, do you realise Casper has a permanent auto détection of enemies in front of him? I mean some other abilities are "too strong" too... I would prefer to see weaker specialists buffed than funiest ones (MacKay is the most played) nerfed. Asking for a buff of other specialists please me more, i don't want a slower game.
Last, MacKay is going to be even stronger with medpen, yes... as Sundance will... And all specialists with a new free gadget. I mean let's see the whole new balance BEFORE asking for specific modifications.
After the new class system of season 3, i think the next balance debate will be on Infantry vs Vehicules balance, with the reduction of infantry heroes having access anti vehicule weapons. But i don't know and nobody here too, because we don't have the final version of those changes.
My point is IF this is a balance problem, give a little bit more speed to others is a FAR better way than reducing the fastest one.
It's my opinion and i agree we can have different ones, but i think you do not focus on the real problem with MacKay (breaking map design with graplin) for a far less advantage of the caracter, this nerf wouldn't change anything, but makes the game slower.
No more fun for other specialists and less fun for MacKay... Everybody lose with this idea.
MC KAY should not be able to pick the med-pen and armor plate at the same time. C5 ascribed to slot nr one. Med-Pen OR Armor Plate as the second slot.
MC KAYs fast ADS should have been permanently removed... it's enough to tackle a dodgy grappling hook.
@l_Grand_Vizir_lYou are wrong, not all specialists get a new gadget slot, Support specialists get the defib as class Gadget so nothing will change for them.
In my opinion the class Gadget for supports should be selectable between ammo or medkit and the defib should be default.
So support has really an second gadget slot where they can choose between smokes and so on.
The only classes who get an additional gadget is assault (the strongest - medpen), engineer and recon.
i really can’t wait to play against 120% hp mackays who heals himself back up after every peak while his ADS movement speed grants him additional advantage in peaks…. This is gonna be fun.. not.Oh c'mon, i'm "wrong" ?!?
3 Classes out of 4.. yea i'm mostly right.
😉
The more i see arguments going out the initial "strafe problem", the more i feel the basic point of "OP strafe" is weak.
I make it clear, MacKay is my main caracter, i mostly play with him.
I know he is very strong, but i explained why and you may disagree with me but graplin IS the MacKay stupidiest op thing. I'm not here to defend "my precious", i honestly believe the strafe bonus is overated here.
I am not saying my opinion is better than yours, but i don't understand your point.
IF the straf movment is the problem.. why pushing "armor plates, medpen" here? I mean Sundance will have 120Hp, medpen and infinite grenades soo what's the point to mention those here ? Unless strafe problem isn't big enough and need renforcment...
For me the global movment system in BF2042 is not fast. The improved MacKay does a little difference but it's not gamebreaking because in many cases, it changes nothing. The rock / paper / cisor balance does.The weapon you and you oponent have in hands and the range of engagment does 90% of the difference...
Soo i don't understand the hate some players seem to have here.
And by the way, Enders plays well. But he's a angry salty boy looking for views... ALL his videos are CLICK BAIT with "op stuff" or "broken game" etc etc. This kind of players makes all weapon OP in a montage... I won't use this guy as a relevant balancing advice.
But i respect all your opinions, even if we disagree. I just wanted to share a different point of view.
See you on the Bugfield.
