So the review bombing happening right now. Lets explain it. From both sides, because while I disagree and think its thumbs up worthy and very well balanced now, I get why people are mad.
Here we go:
People are mad because they balanced a severely overpowered class that was sold and described as a support class.
Here the issue, the class did:
more damage than the damage classes
tanked better than the tank classes
actually did do very solid support
So now that they have balanced the class to be, shocker, AN ACTUAL SUPPORT, people are mad because they dont get an overpowered class and weapon anymore. Im not surprised because people got used to it being that way. You cannot simply leave something in its unintended state for this long and expect that people are going to understand why it has changed after such a long time.
This is the issue I run into. I dont want to reward Fatsharks bad behavior. They left this class completely broken for a about 10 months. This led people to believe that this class was just supposed to be like this, that its OP nature was intended, when it never was.
It was meant to be a support, Fatshark screwed it up royally, then let it fester for far too long.
Now they fixed it, but its 10 months too late. People are going to be mad. If they balanced it in a timely manner, then people would have likely said "ah it wasnt meant to be like this? Fine, have a great day." And could have moved on from it. But no, the snail speed development and patching struck and caused this.
Im rating it UP because I think its great that they balanced her. She is still very strong, has a nice variety of builds, and is VERY good at support and damage still.
But again, its Fatsharks own fault its getting review bombed for taking ENTIRELY too long to balance it.
Their snail pace development and patching with almost no transparency whatsoever is completely unacceptable and is what caused this whole debacle.
Please Fatshark, learn something from this. This game has so much potential.
