Ask a Cobalt 1 Fletcher main anything :)

(Zack) #1

Hi there since I can’t play Fletcher due to the shadow nerf I’d rather just talk about him and help out people who are maybe trying to get into him. I played for ~ that sign and DiNK in the last few cups and played in the second round against TAG, but enough about me let’s talk about Fletcher the best engineer in my opinion. So yeah ask away and I’m pretty sure this thread is @Sniff approved :slight_smile: Proof for credibility http://i.imgur.com/zJlwXxs.png

how would you nerf fletcher? >:)

(Zack) #3

I would nerf him by making his splash damage by stickies a bit lower so he doesn’t do an absurd amount of splash damage. The fact that he can 1 shot medics is really the reason that makes him so good so forcing him to stick medics to kill them would be more balanced.

If 3 cups = 2 apples, and 2 dogs eat a whale, how many cats are stuck in the lift at the third floor?

(Zack) #5

E. There isn’t enough information.

@ProfPlump Yes

Suposng th enext merc tob e realesed isnt thudner thunderovich thunderovzky should I buy FLetcha, for an agreesive style player?

(3N1GM4) #8

Shotguns or SMG? or BL32 v A31? As I main fletcher with a BL32 load out, but a lowly gold 3, strengths / weaknesses of each?

shadow nerf is annoying but hardly made fletcher unplayable

How would you balance the three (currently) existing Engis?

(Zack) #11

Hell yeah Fletcher is the ideal Engineer for an aggressive player. He’s an in your face kind of merc as well as a playing passive due to the fact that his stickies are clearly a ranged weapon.

(Zack) #12

Personally I use the BL32 I think the blishlok is probably by far the most underrated weapon. it packs such a punch and theres hardly any recoil. However the AHNULD-12 is beyond good. I’ve seen some good players do some pretty crazy things with it. It’s like if you can shoot that weapon well then close range you’ll dominate any other merc essentially. The downside of the blishlok is the fact that long range it’s kinda tough to get the hang of, but close range the Empire is literally the most recoilless gun in the game I swear.

(Zack) #13

It’s like a slideshow not saying it’s unplayable but I certainly wouldn’t use it in anything competitively. DBN/Pugs.

(Zack) #14

Well I’ll give you my opinion on the competitive side and pubs I suppose, and by competitive I mean DBN not competitive in the actual game itself.
Proxy: Competitive well she doesn’t have much use she’s kind of 1 dimensional the only real positive thing about her is that her mines can be used as more of a “detection” rather than an actual mine. Most decent players will easily see the mines especially due to the fact that most proxies put them in the same exact spot time after time.
Fletcher: Well Fletcher shouldn’t be able to kill medics with close splash damage. I do think that they need to limit the splash damage and only allow him to 1 shot medics by sticking them only.
Bushwacker: Well I mean bushwacker is probably the most well rounded merc right now. They did nerf him if you can call it that by making the lock on time 0.6 seconds which I honestly haven’t even noticed a difference in it.

what are you suggesting? medics have some special type of armor that makes them resistant to sticky bombs specifically? Or a nerf to sticky bombs?

Seems to me like Fletcher is balancing on edge of viability in comp, he’d need to get a proper SMG if the stickies were to be nerfed.

(triteCherry) #16

I wouldn’t mind him getting a SMG/Pistol combo. Right now he’s like Fragger and Nader’s love child, which is annoying as it sounds.

Edit: Actually Fragger had a cowboy hat at the time, to explain the engineer proficiency.

(CCP115) #17

What do you think of Fletcher’s CORE right now?

Do you think it’s kind of dumb and annoying to play against? Or unique and interesting?

I find it really painful to play against a Fletcher, because it’s just sticky spam, and the rare time they decide to use the Empire-9. I don’t know how to change the spam without a total rework or something.

(ProfPlump) #18

WAT.
