[2/24/16] Proxy nerf with new patch

(Ritobasu) #1

Thought I was imagining things when playing ranked, but @Kingsley confirmed it with me that Proxy takes noticeably longer to drop down mines and toss them a distance. I’m not sure if the frisbee tossing distance has been nerfed as well

Please revert this. It was already not easy to set up frisbee tosses and mine traps around corners in the middle of combat, and making them deploy even slower hurts her viability even more

I’m going to guess this is a bandaid fix for the double mine bug?

(Reddeadcap) #3

That and maybe to promote people to stop trying to use mines as makeshift grenades.

(Ritobasu) #4

Because Engineers shouldn’t be able to drop and detonate their deployables quickly or toss them like makeshift grenades right? Just like Fletcher :neutral:

She needed to be nerfed, now we need to nerf Thunder too.

I cant even tell if you are serious…

(Gaspoline) #7

I cant even manage to play proxie now, mines were a huge part of the character and with the delay and throw distance nerf’d, its very annoying

Not a nerf : just a bug. Confirmed by Shoe on Reddit.

What Eox said. So I am closing this thread.
