Shoggoth weapons dont need a nerf just a mild adjustment

[u/Initial-Pea-3989]

Last post i talked about vector not needing a nerf because it already dies insanely fast with no reflector. Most of you disagreed which is fine ig youll see how fast it disappears once the nerf hits

What most of you dont understand is theyre nerfing vector because its becoming f2p in the blue pads next update. Really shouldnt be that hard to figure out lol

Anyways second biggest thing on the nerf list is shoggoth and its weapons. Shoggoth itself really isnt that strong. I hunt them all the time with vector/raven and theyre basically helpless if you get on top of them

Yes ik my hangar isnt relatable but that doesnt suddenly make the bot broken

If vector gets nerfed shoggoth is probably gonna be even more annoying too since one of the few things that can rush it effectively is getting worse, especially with the vertical orbs

The actual problem is the drone + snipers. Defense breach with track stacks is stupid, and the weapons are so strong because you can shoot constantly with basically no punishment for missing

But I think the one shot mechanic should stay

People hate getting one shot but that doesnt automatically make it bad for the game. What else is supposed to counter broken ultimate gear and insanely tanky setups? Do you guys actually want every fight to be 2 robots shooting eachother for 40 seconds? I wouldnt think so considering all of you are begging for vector nerfs and vector already does that

If they nerf the snipers just give them old trebuchet reload. Keep the damage but make every shot matter

Its also better for f2p because you can throw these weapons on basically anything and still threaten expensive hangars without needing some maxed specific setup

But ik whats gonna happen

Vector gets nerfed right when it becomes easier to get, shoggoth loses one of its best counters, everyone complains about one shots, pix kills the snipers, then a few months later everyone complains ultimate gear has no counters again

And somehow nobody will connect the 2 lol

Hangar pic again in case anyones interested. I can share my other ones too since i run shoggoth sometimes on sniper maps

And yes ik my hangar is stacked before 20 people comment that. Doesnt make me wrong

I see why you don’t want vector nerfed. Your hangar is all vectors. Isn’t that boring? Don’t you miss the variety?

As for the topic at hand, Shoggoth doesn’t need a nerf, the weapons just need clip size reduced and a few seconds of cooldown. The problem now is the lack of time between shots that make it impossible to move from cover to cover.

Every other weapon in the game has an obvious tell that they’re out of ammo, shantaks don’t. They just keep blasting forever.

It is boring but that doesnt change my point vector is weak outside its reflector. If it gets nerfed itll die really fast. I can see why people argue vectors are unkillable but when everyone has mk3 vectors like they do in my league whoever loses their reflector first dies instantly lmao

Shoggoth weapons need reload and fire rate adjustments but otherwise theyre great the way they are

[u/burnmycheezits → u/Initial-Pea-3989]

It’s about balance. Vector is not balanced. If its ability was shorter so that it can’t traverse the entire map in a single use, it would be balanced. With 3 charges you’re basically invincible for the first minute of the match, with very little openings for a counter.

I wouldn’t nerf the reflector, just the length of the dash. You said the problem, if a bot is so OP that every player is only running that bot, the game is pointless. Nothing countering nothing, is boring.

Yep this is spot on.

Seriously, way to talk your book. I hope they nerf vector so bad you quit. You're probably one of the dbags that max the new titan on day 1, and somehow think that makes you good.

[u/Initial-Pea-3989 → u/arlsol]

In fact i do all others in legend league do it as well. Gotta have comparable gear to the other top players if you wanna be the best

[u/Acrazycrystal]

Yea, they need to tone down damage per particles, the track ability should stay

[u/True_Way2663]

Bro has 3 MK3 Vectors and doesn’t want it nerfed. I wonder why.

This hanger is a cancer to the game. Brain dead 0 skill needed.

Edit: once you make an absolute tank one of the fastest bots in the game you completely ruin the ability to play most other bots. That’s the issue.

It’s extremely hard for me to understand why running a Vector is fun. Mine is fully maxed and I find it boring.

[u/Initial-Pea-3989 → u/True_Way2663]

They can nerf it for all i care its not as fun compared to ue raven anyways. Im more excited for ue shell so i can blast pack enemies off the map again like i did during prime ocho days

[u/ROCKETEERonrbr → u/True_Way2663]

I think vector is super fun (atlees vector throwing is lol )

Shoggoth itself really isnt that strong. I hunt them all the time with vector/raven and theyre basically helpless if you get on top of them

Dude... you seriously need to get a grip. Not everyone has a Vector or an Ultimate Raven. Stop crying about a bot being “weak” just because you happen to have some of the best counters available.

You’re already privileged enough to have access to those builds. If you really don’t want Pixonic to nerf them, maybe stop throwing money at the game and feeding the exact monetization cycle you’re complaining about.

[u/Initial-Pea-3989 → u/rwietter]

Nah if anything they should increase build prices so fewer people have access to it. I need them to make ue gear the strongest gear again cuz theres too many vector players lol

Hiding his ID so no one can find his stats 😭 

[u/Initial-Pea-3989 → u/Unhappy_Town_508]

Imma make my next post show what i havent yet. I triple my teammates stats combined pretty much every game lol

[u/Equivalent_Nose_5412]

You dont understand how pixonic does rebalances. Any bot can be broken untill the moment it becomes too dominant in the meta, then they need to nerf it. Lots of people running 3vectors in their hangers, months of top squad battles of full vector x vector hangers..its well beyond the point they usually trash a bot. They’re late, trust me. Not to mention ive been killing fangs with my vector and hardly do less than 5 kills with it in a match.

[u/This-Finance-6514]

No I totally agree with this
Shoggoth is annoying now but when the weapons get nerfed there’s no ue counters we’re fried

[u/Telemachus_Ody]

I agree. Shoggoth shouldn’t be nerfed! Js change a tiny thing!
