@sladow-noob said in Mercy Change - Not ready yet:
@FtXCommando It's not part of the key mechanics of the game though. If it's something you'd see each rounds, then I'd completely argue. Taking StarCraft or AoE as an example where literally every unit you use has special / hidden stats.
However if a game only has like 1-3 of these units which also don't have special stats towards literally every other unit (e.g. let's say a multiplier against any arty or tanks or even faction-specific stuff), then I'd say it's definitely an okay-ish thing to do.
If you're referring to complexity, then why did the loyas get that extra ability in the first place? It also just increased complexity and Loyas get used in way more games than mercies. In addition to that I'm 100% sure there were definitely some noobs selecting multiple loyas and then wondering why they just exploded without shooting/killing anything.
Those games are already built upon the fact that there are many different multipliers and strengths when facing different units. FAF is not. There is also the fact that most of those mutipliers are rather obvious in games like total war etc.
Meanwhile making mercy, the snipe missile perfected, deal less damage to the most important snipe target in the game is simply abysmal from the design standpoint. A unit that is supposed to be sniping important targets is not working against the most important target...
