Balancing heals on RHINO

(Elazul) #1

Alright so after a while seeing people using rhino while sitting on multiple Aura’s healing stations and doing 40 kills-0 deaths or also having two Auras ready to resurrect him right as he dies is really stupid, my guess would be to either reduce the amount of heals Rhino gets from healing stations and to reduce it even more if theres multiple ones ? Or I don’t know maybe having a decreased reviving time when done multiple times on rhino ? I don’t know i’m just sick of seeing rhinos holding rooms on their own and destroying anyone approaching them with so much heals. You’d suggest trying to headshot rhino but in certain situations he can hold a room within that room and not show his head to the outside making it impossible to kill him unless you enter.

Anyway I think you got my feedback :expressionless:

In that situation I don’t suggest just shooting him, no. I suggest blowing him the fuck up. Spam that room with things that go boom. Take out him AND the stations.

A)Fragger grenades, cook them then toss them

B) Nader grenades, fire them from long ranges if close, fire them at walls to get around corners.

C) Proxy mines, but please don’t rush in head first.

D) Fletcher Bombs, like proxy don’t run in head first as you’ll likely get your grenade to explode in your face.

C) Outdoors? Do A-D and or use a Fire Support.

D) Indoors? Use A-D or toss a Skyhammer marker, that’s enough damage to kill the stations, Also applies to Stoker when he appears.

E) Rhino’s main role is to cut off a route but lacks the mobility to quickly cut off a second even more so to organize others to drop stations somewhere else, choose another path.

Throw an explosive there and you kill both auras, then proceed to finish rhino.

Maybe try to think that the Auras are not stupid and are not going to stand in the way of rhino, and like i said to get to the auras you need to get in the way of the rhino and by the time you throw the explosive you are dead and you have no insurance about killing two or even one of the healers. Just balancing heals on rhinos or decreasing the % of heals he receives would be the best and avoid situations like those too.

Go Fragger, you’ll benefit your team by A: having nades ready to blow up anyone trying to help Rhino and B: being a better, far more versatile merc than Rhino.

I’ve never seen a setup of Rhino+2Aura that can’t be defeated by a single merc. Sniper rifles, airstrikes, nades, laser, sticky bombs - that’s like half of current roster that has a direct counter. The rest has indirect solutions discussed in a many other threads about Rhino.

If your team on pub can’t execute any of these counters, then you were just outplayed because the other team had better teamwork. Nothing to do other than move to the next match.

Move along folks nothing to see here. Just the usual free rotation [insert mercenary here] thread.
