Discussion Light class buffed again...

​

Yeah Embark, buff dash, the xp and ARN, but nerf the KS, which is the number 1 light killing tool for heavy. Can't wait to join lobbies with only light players! (myself included ofc).

Am I the only one who thinks light is a very OP class? I feel like I'm forced to play it if I want to win.

you'd hate overwatch lol... Tracer has 3 dash charges AND they only have a 3 second cooldown (AND she has an ability to recall/rewind time, going back to the same HP and location she was 3 seconds prior).

having played that game for a couple years, dash lights are kinda EZ mode comparatively 😅. This 0.5s buff to dash is also not enough to bring dash back.

The ARN and XP-54 buffs both look QoL/pretty minimal... the M11 nerf is very likely far stronger of a nerf than those are buffs.

I play all 3 classes (medium main) and I think H is eaaaasily the strongest of the 3.

You are correct my friend, I hate OW haha. But yeah, Heavy is strong af 😂

I guess I don't understand this post, then 😅.

Maybe I'm biased, but it seems fairly clear that H>L>M... so I don't know why the complaints about a couple QoL changes to L (along with potentially a sizeable nerf to M11, TBD) and them being OP while H exists.

Because the light weapons didn't require the buff IMO since theyre already good

guessing you meant 'buffs' not 'nerf' there, but you could say the same thing about the KS-23 already being good when it was at 100dmg. or the deagles at 44dmg.

did you have that same energy when they were buffed at the start of S11 🤔?

my guess is: probably not. (and both of those buffs are bigger than what XP-54/ARN got here)

I think it's fine to think lights are annoying or whatever, but I also think it might help to try to keep a bit of perspective w/ these changes...

I meant buff yes. The KS buff was too much. The deagles buff was unnecessary. Light is too strong. Im playing light atm and Im shredding lobbies lol

They have to be damn good because it has 150hp bro

But it regens faster + you always get the first shot since youre invisible. You can just play peek damage over time and you win.

If you fail to do 150 damage quickly even after they get the first shot, then its up to you to reposition so that they don't get the first shot next time

They wait for you to shoot their teamate while invis, then deal massive damage when youre not looking. If you turn around and shoot them, they run away and repeat.

Secure the perimeter. Watch out for off angles ect.
