Aimee's ability

(Koyotea) #1

That’s it? All she has is a debuff? Does it at least mark the enemy like Vassili’s sensor? I’m just assuming it does right now, because just having a debuff makes her underpowered. Please give her SNITCH Device ability to mark enemy deployables as well, perhaps with an indicator showing what kind of deployable it is. This would give her a lot more versatility and wouldn’t be OP. PLEASE add this in!!!

anyone it debuffs it tags and the debuff is ~33% damage increase to the marked player. Her and a Rhino in the same area are going to be a REAL hassle, Aimee has a lot of cool synergies with other mercs with the debuff I don’t understand why you are having a hissy fit. Aimee is going to be a MONSTER on defence. Chuck the snitch on a choke point, profit. Chuck the snitch on a bomb site, profit. The snitch debuff is going to be crazy good, it will allow ALL mercs to be killed with a felix headshot which is insane, not to mention all the applications it has to boosting explosives. Aimee is in NO way underpowered even if the snitch was only a debuff.

Got to try it myself first to get any valid opinoin about Aimee. However think on next things which 33% can do to weapons:
-Fel-Ix can kill 100 HP mercs on body shot
-PDP can kill 120 hp mercs on head shot or 2 body shots
-Selbstadt.40 has 20 damage per shot with 12 bullets in mag, 450 theoretic RPM and least recoil
I’m very optimistic about Aimee after role call.

@PleasantWheat The snitch will not affect explosives. Only gun projectiles.

WELL THEN… the snitch is still pretty damn good. I wonder if it will detect and attack cloaked phantoms…

I think the SNITCH solves the issue of her ability’s previous uselessness, but I am still concerned about its balance. I fear it will still have limited use in some matches, while being completely overpowered in certain specific situations.

Also, she will steal even what little love there was left from Thunder.

It would be a problem if she was only merc with this issue. Arty is go to option on Chapel, but he isn’t very usefull on Undeground. There are multiple merc that are good for one type of map(part of map) or side and not so good for another. There is nothing wrong with it.

Hmmm,… well other mercs being unbalanced doesn’t make her balanced, but you are right that it would stand out less.

Regarding Arty, spamming his fire support on the last objective, both on offense and on defense is very usefull. The application is just very specific again.

Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t tell that Aimee is one(or should be) of those mercs. It’s clearly to early to say anything about that.

I originally wanted turtle and that still stands. However I’m quite optimistic about her ability. I like how there are more and more mercs with teamwork abilities. Also, I’d love to try the grandeur on her. I’m just slightly bummed out that she doesn’t have her own unique rifle but that’s no biggy.
