Re: Mackay is breaking the game

@Padding_Ur_Stats The problem is that McKay is OP in general, due to his ADAD-spam-ability (esp. against infantry) and whenever the map has any "verticality", he gets another advantage as well (grappling hook).

This is not rock-paper-scissor. He has no real counter for his advantages.

  • I don't see what's so bad with ADAD spam. Everyone does it regardless of their specialist. I don't have ANY issue dying as MacKay. Maybe you need to realize you aren't going to go 40 and 0 every game? You're going to get killed sometimes and that's just life.

    It provides such a large advantage that doing it is mandatory, so the specialist that can do it better is the best specialist.

    Just imagine what would happen if a new specialist came out that had rocket boots/ anti friction suit that allow them to knee slide much further and faster while remaining more accurate.

    🙂 Exactly, the Valk from Apex Legends was created by EA games.  There is some obvious "Specialist" cross-overs from Apex to BF, which makes sense as EA created both games.  

    For example, BF Paik = Apex Bloodhound and Apex Seer, BF Mackay = Apex Pathfinder, BF Crawford = Apex Rampart, etc...

    I'm not seeing your point partner...I've been spamming ADAD and so have countless others since they've been playing FPS games. You have to be able to go one direction while adjusting your aim the other, so it does affect your aim. I'm not sure how you think he's "More accurate" at ADAD than anyone else, but ok I guess.  I don't have any problem getting killed as MacKay when ADAD spamming, so again, I don't see the point of people yelling about it. Now sliding, slide cancelling and all that other stuff, that's different...

    @Echo6Echo Being able to ADAD spam way faster than other specialists are a big advantage. That will help you win a lot of one-on-one gunfights in CQC.

    MacKays zipline is pretty powerful and he didn't need the speed boost as well (which imho is by far the best passive ability in the game).
