I am being hit by a ridiculous amount of Blitz headshots. Since they improved the pistols he's way overpowered.

Most guys seem to do it in such a way that it goes through their body, makes them really hard to kill.

They nerfed the hell out of Twitch. I'm disgusted, she has been my main always.

I was using her a few days ago and was happily zapping away at the cameras when I came across a defender, went to zap him and had none left!!!!

She has a decent gun but I can see myself picking her too often now

IvoryTower

What was the nerf? Is it recent? I remember ages ago they limited the drones shots but she still had plenty

From 17 to 7 I think

From 15 to 5! 5! :mad:

I used to be able to devastate a team with Twitch. In prep I would 1) take out all the camera's, 2) take out defensive gadgets, and 3) zap the hell out of everyone. You could send whole teams into blind rage where they would end up shooting each other and/ or the hostage. You could do that with one drone, you just had to make sure to hide for the second between prep and round start before going again.

That's consigned to History now. :(

Going full berzerk with Twitch drones was fun...but its easy to see how unbalanced it could be. With 2 drones and 15 shots each, thats potential for almost 3 enemy kills. All while being safe behind the screen (as long as you are not in a spot for a roamer to pick you off).

5 is a bit low, maybe 7-9 would have been better. Or improve the range/have a visual indicator if you will hit/miss. Noting worse than being a few pixels out of range and wasting a shot, even more so if thats 10% of your potential firepower!

I saw a stream where they devs said that the average amount of enemy devices / cameras being taken out by the twitch drone was....... 1!

Id say they want to push more for a style where its more worthwhile to take out gadgets than harass the enemy. - Although I do have fond memories of using the drone to oust a last man standing on the enemy team out of whatever hidey hole hes in and making them run into a teammates crosshairs.

Game is not the same for me now Twitch has been destroyed. So dissapointed.

As you say, the justification Ubisoft gave was worthless and completely illogical. 'Twitch destroys 1.4 gadgets (including camera's) per round, so we are going to remove 66% of her taser rounds'.

Never mind that the Twitch drone is already at a disadvantage in that it is larger than the other drones, can't jump and leaves a fucķin tracer for every round spent. Every bastard defender tries to destroy Twitch once they become aware of him.

If you can cause serious damage with Twitch, it means you are a good player and you deserve to have done so. You cant even take out all the cameras in a round now. Whatever asşholes they have in charge of rebalancing in Ubi need to get a schlap.

I was very surprised that they nerfed Twitch's drone to such a degree. Especially with upping Kapkan traps to 6 and not to mention all the other electronic traps that other operators have.

Maps are quickly becoming a mine field of traps all over the place.

Stone Deaf 4evr

Yeah, between Kaplan, lesion, ela, frost and bandit, there's fecking stuff everywhere

J Mysterio

I magically thanked his post twice ^^

Id say a dlc operator will be filling the void soon enough

dreamers75

There is a good balance in the trap operators, no team would pick 5 of them.

Twitch losing drone shots is dumb.

Im getting close to having enough renown to unlock a new operator - I have the following to choose from

Frost
Blackbeard
Caveira
Capitao
Echo


suggestions ? I have one more attacker than defender at present, and realistically, I would say I'm leaning towards Blackbeard / Caveira, with frost coming in 3rd place.

I'd say Frost, Caviera and Blackbeard in that order. All of the ones you listed can be fun but those three are the most useful. I might even get blackbeard off the list too because since he's been nerfed he's not great. Echo can be great at stopping planting in bomb but honestly, the number of times I've seen that happen is minimal.

I'd pick Frost.

Her traps are fantastic and can't be zapped or EMP'd.

I like to equip the shield and place one of her traps behind it.

Operation Chimera

The blurb on the new Operators is a bit confusing:

One operator hails from France and uses a drone to maintain quarantine perimeters. Their service record is astounding, but their list of regrets seems endless.

The other operator moved to Russia to pursue their studies and they uncovered a range of applications for self-dissolving nanobots. All allies can benefit from the research carried out by this CBRN Specialist.

Yeah. Caviera is amazing but takes practice. Frost is great on ranked. When time is running out people tend to rush the objective and the number of times I've seen attackers just jump through windows onto traps is ridiculous

It seems like an attacker with a drone that attacks defenders. It actually sounds like it specifically attacks people who spawn peek or leave the objective.

Heals or armours someone. Maybe a combination doc/rook? Maybe sends something to revives allies even when they're out of line of sight.

Well, looks like frost it is then!

Will they ever drop the renown of the dlc characters, even the year 1 characters or have they ever even mentioned the possibility?

I think it's not too bad as it is to be fair. I earned all the characters through renown. It's very achievable, and it allows you to learn how to play each Operator as you go.

IvoryTower

I think ill buy year 3, i dont even play it all that much but i still love the game and like to play the new characters when they come out without saving for them.
