[quote=“pumpkinmeerkat;145657”]Community finds out Proxy is the most played merc in ranked mode.

Community decides Proxy must be overpowered…

People here who think that Proxy is overpowered are people that have thought for long that Proxy is broken and OP…
This is just another proof that we are right :smile:

And also, couple of people that have disagreed it had proxy profile pic.
Probably all the people that play her will say that she is right as she is.
Cause if you play it, you don’t nerf it, right? (not fan of this statement myself, but I know that is how it works from experience)

I am not saying that everyone is playing it, but shotguns / hochfir + those mines + that speed - 20 hp (comparing to Fletcher or 30 compared to skyhammer)…

Oh I didn’t mention suicidal move that is used if you are losing…
Kinda like stoker if you ask me, but here you can’t run away cause you are dead once she does it :confused:

She has to run up to you, drop a mine, fall back and then shoot it - during all of that there is more than enough time to deal a measly 90 damage or at the very least run from the mine.

(Feley) #43

Not true, if she is losing she’ll drop mine and kill herself alongside every enemy that is already there.

Also, if there are more than one people in fight, she can do all that you described without being hit in like instant, which disrupts fight between people that were fighting before… So enemy team either needs to fall back from mine and die while thinking how will they run away, or they need to fight and pray they kill someone before Proxy does her move, or wait for mine to explode.

(Dawnlazy) #44

There is a time window to lower and raise weapons, and another time window to drop the mine, all of which is more than enough to dish out a mere 90 damage. Furthermore her simply dropping the mine and it already being in range also implies that for whatever reason you have already let her close the gap and get in your face in the first place. I mean just compare the amount of effort it takes to do all that to how Fletcher can simply peek a corner and immediately lob a sticky in your direction detonating it mid air. Offensive Proxy mines are perfectly balanced as they are.

(Ritobasu) #45

There are people here who seriously believe Proxy is broken and can’t deal with frisbee tossing and suicide mines, while Fletcher is perfectly fine

:frowning:

(SnakekillerX) #46

Fletcher is the bane of my existence.

(Your worst knifemare.) #47

Might need to help out sparks

That picture of Javelin’s model is everywhere. I’m not posting it here, obviously…

I got told from a player I trust in what he’s saying (Don’t know if he want if I say his name) that he’s 99% sure about it.
The mine actually has a cylinder-shaped explosion instead of a hemisphere because hemispheres are buggy in the Unreal engine and SD didn’t want to make it a sphere that goes underground for some reason.
And as long as the mine explodes in a cylinder, I find Proxy broken.

(Floross) #50

What would be the best way/time to try to get my last 2 MM games I need for a ranking? And what wait time should I expect?

(Jostabeere) #51

Afternoon-Evening based on the region you play in.

(TheVulpesFox) #52

Splash damage pls buff fletcher. I don’t see home played that often in games therefore he too weak.
Pls buff stickies.
