the new update is a complete disgrace
I spent hours on falck and now they have taken the rockets out of her hands and given them to the engineer class. Those outside the engineer group were left completely defenseless against tanks, armo...

Restricting Rockets to Engineers is too limiting.
Engineer is the weakest class. Nobody is playing it so currently Pilots run around with no fear. Played all day yesterday and Armor just parks on nodes. They aren't moving. They see that nobody is playing engineers (or very few, not enough to make a difference). Lis is being played, but she alone cannot down a tank, mav, large vehicle class. Maybe add the gadget to the Assault class as well. After all, they are Assault. Or allow Lis to carry rockets with her ability. She would be able to solo large vehicles in about 20ish seconds presuming she hits with all and isnt capped while shooting.
The irony was the the tidal wave of whine with the changes to Lis. Expect a tidal wave of whine from everyone who isn't a pilot now.
Padding_Ur_Stats I agree that vehicles just got a huge implicit buff because almost nobody is now carrying rockets, and if they do, then they have a hard time getting resupplied once they fire those rockets.
Air vehicles are the bigger beneficiaries of this buff. Before the 3.2 patch it was difficult to shoot down a good helicopter pilot - yes they could be harassed to have to go and hide/repair for half the time, but a good pilot could still go 50-1. Now that constant harassment is not very feasible from an infantry perspective - helicopter pilots are getting what they have been complaining about forever, the ability to farm infantry with impunity. The only real ground threat to a helicopter is a Wildcat or other vehicle with cannons.
Ground vehicles at least are still vulnerable to mines/c5 - infantry rockets are now few and far between and can be stopped by Irish sentinels anyway, so not much of a threat.
The buff to Lis rockets are not really a threat to vehicles as her two rockets won’t kill anything before the vehicle can just back off and repair. Allowing her to equip the other rockets in her gadget slot might make her a viable ground vehicle counter. The idea that her default rockets are a serious threat to a good helicopter pilot (one that does not just hover over the battle) is ridiculous.
