@TheSprinter85Arcane getting a nerf is a good start for reducing roses presence, however in my opinion that's not enough. Even if you added a windup to it, most would still use it to be very selfish and barely ever used for your team. However you can do a broken strategy with arcane mainly in turf takeover which is
1. Use arcane to boost your teammates.
2. Respawn.
3. Go back to your team and make it so they can constantly play aggressively.
I'd say arcane should be hit with these nerfs.
1. it's cooldown should persist between lives.
2. it now has a windup of 1 second when activating it.
3. you don't get the speed boost unless your near teammates
and 4. (this may be too harsh on it, but honestly I would like to question why this exists in the first place(also this and the windup nerf counts with outta fight). It can no longer contest objectives.
Just toss entire game in the trash can I reckon. I mean aim assist patch did near to nothing, team balance patch did sweet f a, pretty clear EA don't give a * about popcap or this game.
Xmas boosted amount of players in Australia ps4 for awhile but due to lack of fixes and updates those numbers are dwindling fast, never been able to play arena, even weekly event is dead after day or two.
So, yea just nerf the game into the trash can and start again and make GW3, shame a better company didn't buy popcap.
Trello is updated: Tuning character hitboxes is the only thing listed. But detailed informations regarding character balancing were never put on Trello anyway.
@The4DAdvocate I've got to agree with Enigma and what you just said. If they also increased the cooldown to 30 or 35 seconds, similar to GW2, then it would make it even less overpowered, as timing is more crucial for when it should be activated. 👍
