Controversial posts made by Caliber

I have seen many games in which a player will just choose to sit there abuse T2 air spam, click commander = win.

Here is an example one full health com at 11 mins 11,500 hp with gun upgrade first pass hp down to 5900hp second pass + dead, even with adept dodging, 13 corsair.

Players choosing to abuse a machanic that is clearly op just flat out ruines the game for all, and I am shure thats why the balance team chose to nerf the Mercy as that was the most obvious version of the T2 snipe machanic shurely the other T2 air units fall under the same catagory.

this continued and sniped at least one more player, in this game and many other games.

another game 3 people were sniped to corsair spam.

this player even had flak and shields nearby

Can you consider changing the opti balance so that it doesnt put the two stongest players on the same team please.

let me get this right a 2000 a 1700 and a 1500 die to corsair and you all say skill issue?

or

occam's razor

T2 bombers are too easy to spam

@indexlibrorum said in T2 Bombers:

As the bombers didn't get you on their first pass, but on their second or third, by your own argument you believe flak would have saved your life.
You weren't under 'constant T2 bomber attack', you were an overextended 3k HP com without AA in a game where your teammate was just airsniped and where you—10 minutes in—haven't scouted the enemy team even once.

several errors in your last comment.

No flak would not have saved me, flak only reduces the likely hood of multiple passes flak does not insta kill corsair sadly, second yoji was full health and had air support, still died because it takes a significant more investment to stop corsair attack.

I say constant attack because if you look at the game the corsair spammer doesnt just make 5 corsair and moves on with their life they are spamming them nonstop if i didnt die to first five then another 20 would have killed me.

and why focus on just me at least 3 coms died to corsair abuse in that game.

and you say overextended I was bearly over the halfway line.

I have another 50+ replays of make corsair = win game

If the hp is just lowered abit to make T1 air more useful or make the costs more you can still have your op com killing cheese unit, it just wont be as easy to abuse.

@Deribus @Endranii @arma473 @BalanceSlave The examples shown are what normal defenses a typical player would have less they just sit in the base all day and make flak and shields.

A player spamming t2 air commits all they have to air production yes its a lot of mass, however if you play as most people do, you lose to this tactic every time as you wont have equal mass invested into AA defenses, rather into factories, tanks, t2 land, mexes ect.

So I ask you this, when you play, do you play just to snipe other players and end the game as quickly as possible or do you play to actualy enjoy the game?

Becouse this tactic kinda ruins how most poeple enjoy the game.

imagine you spend quite a lot of time queing, finaly get a game that is'nt broken only to end like that. Poeple ask, was it worth playing.

I dont ask that T2 Bombers are removed from the game completely, just turned down a little so people stand a chance.

@arma473

In this test the com had 4 mobile shield and 4 mobile flak agaisnt 15 corsair, can you guess who wins?

@arma473 In this test I had a t2 shield and 2 flak.

15 cosair less than some of the game examples, the t2 shield whent down and then came back on but it still wasnt enough to protect com.
