Something Needs to Be Done About that Frickin Roadie Z!!

8 kills in one game by the same person! It's one thing to be beaten by someone better than you, but that's not what happened here. I was playing as party corn and had NO CHANCE to fight back. Some times I encountered this player head on, sometimes they came up behind me, in every case I was unable to fight back because of that stupid pulse gun. That's when you start to hate this game, because it feels cheap and unfair! I couldn't even escape from the other player because the over-head maneuver (whatever it's called) that will launch you away was completely disabled! Both my special attacks were. Only the primary weapon was functional, but of course with the little hit count it has, you're dead before you can do anything significant. I have yet to even play as Roadie Z, but I've encountered him enough as plants to know I don't like him at all!!

And to those of you who say well citron disables you too--it's NOT the same thing! Because citron's is his special attack he gets to use it once, then there's a cool down. With Roadie Z it's his primary weapon so it's lasts, and lasts and lasts. And he can even use it coming at you full force on his jackhammer so he can knock you back and stun you at the same time making it even worse!

    Overpowered is when a character has many differents things

    - solid and safe but at the same time pretty strong

    - he has enough tools to impact the game alone

    - low counterplay mechanics (high burst/nuke potential)

    - high movespeed. Since movespeed is the most strong value in each strategic game. More movespeed means more pressure but also more way to avoid battle/skills

    - low risk high reward character

    - lacks of skill flow but at the same pretty rewarding.

    - too much utility options (so even when you're bad, you can still be useful)

    These are the commons. Roadzie has a huge impact in the game? No, he lacks range and has only one way to gap close you, and his gapclose is not even strong as scientists warp.
    You're going to die to him iwithout chances to survive?
    Probably if he catches you with his jackhammer and you don't manage to use your skills before he silences you.

    You're going to lose against him? Probably not. The lacks of range makes him not have a huge pressure in the game.

    Conclusion: Is not even close as OP, just a frustrating experience. And if you think i play him, check my name and you'll see what is my favorite Engineer Class 🙂

    Don't feed the troll any biscuits. 

    Yes, Rose is trash now as most of my threads detail the same, she should be buffed back to a moderate level, hopefully.

  • Roadie Z has nothing on electrobrains lol. I rarely see Roadie Z in games and when I do he isn't a problem. Having 2-3 electro brains on a team is a problem.
