A Problem With Aimee & Vassilli.

(GreenBanana) #1

i think they are way to similair. they are both snipers with the almost same rifles. they both have a detection device that attaches to surfaces. wich means that u will get a balancing problem at some point: one of them is too strong?: everybody will play that merc, and leave the other in the dust. it inevitable, happens in every game with a meta, and the only thing that can stop it: is variance.

I would have liked to see Aimee be a mid range sniper. I feel she would have been better diverse, with just the semi-auto marksmen rifles and machine pistols. She would require proper use of snitch to secure closer range kills with her low health.

Not exactly, with the PDP you can snipe at a closer distance thanks to it’s ammo capacity and rate of fire, the Fel-ix is just a bad Moa with one more shot per mag and 4 more damage with worse stats through out the board

Vasilli has the Moa which is more for pure sniping and his detection tool has a radius, detecting through wall’s but is thrown. Detecting from where it lands, it doesn’t stick to a surface and it’s a bit easier to notice thanks to the pulse it makes both visibly and audibly

Aimee has the grandiur which is more of a battle rifle rather than a sniper rifle and has better mobility, her tool sticks surfaces, unless one see it mid flight. is a tad harder to see and besides detecting it also debuffs enemies.

More importantly is that these two are close in the same range and utility spectrum.
If we has another fire support with ammo packs or an ammo station and used burst rifles/dreiss or automatic rifles and a burst one would quickly compare them to the other fire supports, unless it’s Javelin, who’d be the first to have an explosive that works on the X axis rather than Y and doesn’t have area denial.

I really dislike how distinctly similar they made Aimee’s ability, but the two play moderately different. One is significantly faster in groundspeed, and the other, while slower, can soak up a meaningful bullet or two more before eating the dirt. Also, Aimee’s not only smaller for hitboxes but also significantly harder to pic out of the background versus white blanket cape Vasilli.

Also, at OP, Vasilli’s heart beat sensor doesn’t attach to surfaces - it falls down to the floor, every time. Additionally, Vasilli cannot reclaim and reposition his sensor whereas Aimee can with her Snitch.

the proper way to use aimee is with her grandeur behind the main pushers or blocking a lane with PDP or Fel-IX+snitch

aimee can kill a team with her felix and snitch alone.

I think the point is that Vassili could do this but even better.

Speaking of the snitch, how exactly does the debilitation work? Does it hinder running? Or health regen? I’ve yet to be debilitated long enough to notice any effect…

It makes everything do more damge to you, also its annoying to look at.

The snitch gives enemies withing its range 1 damage, tagging them. so for the duration of the tag they have a red circle above them, similar to the spotting effect of vassili’s hearbeat sensor, and redeyes red eye.

while tagged you also take extra damage, felix normally does 79 damage on a bodyshot, bodyshotting a tagged person results in 106 damage. you can also headshot instagib low health mercs that are tagged like aura and sparks.

@Herr_Hanz your number’s a bit off, it’s actually 98.75 rounded up to 99 so you can get a 1 shot body shot on Pheonix
