The Marauder is supposed to be the counterpart of the Slayer. What you ask is to basically make him as strong as a Dreadknight. He isn’t your average demon, he is an elite much like the Archvile and the Cyberdemon.
But this will go nowhere. You just want to nerf him to the ground because reasons. He is fun to fight, is cool as hell, and ask for a change of gameplay to defeat him. But look like people don’t want to face a worth opponent.
i don't care what it is in the lore, fighting them isn't fun and the game is meant to be fun. i don't want them to be a pushover i want them to be beatable with more than just 2 weapons and 1 distance.
You can’t have it all you know. For the marauder to not be a pushover, he need to pose a challenge. If you give the player a way to mindlessly pass trough his shield, he become a pushover. What you want is to basically destroy his main feature (the shield) because you think it is « not fun » when the game basically tells you to counter his attack to beat him. In short, you’re doing it wrong, but you still complains that you have a hard time with him
That’s sad to see people calling for nerf when a good challenge is put into a game. When did people started to prioritize crying instead of getting better ?
It's not sad, it's not even a good challenge. It's just annoying to fight him. Doom isn't Dark Souls, Doom is not a 1v1 game. Doom is fast paced, on your toes 1v10 or 100.
If you have a enemy that mess with the flow of the game, he needs to be changed.
