I was bored, so i orgianized the mercs, in order of hwo difficult i find to play with them.
Top is easiest. bottom is mmost diffuclt (IMO)
-Fire Support
Stoker
Skyhammer
Arty
Kira
-Assault
Rhino
Nader
Fraagger
Thunder
-Medic
Aura
Sawbonez
Phoenix
Sparks.
-OBJ
Bushwacker
Proxy
Fletcher
Turtle
-Recon
RedEye
Vassali
Phantom.
Any Questions for the rasoning just ask.
I have to agree that Turtle is the hardest engineer to play, I still can’t do it.
EDIT: but I am curious why Redeye was placed easier than Vaseline?
This is a real Signature.
I have to disagree with Kira being that high up, and more so Skyhammer being easier to play than Arty. Arty has a much more spammy ability and his weapons are very strong.
Kira’s only difficulty is her health, everything else is pretty damn good.
He’s not just the hardest engineer to play, he’s the hardest merc to play. One could say that he’s impossible to play.
@Frogteam Redeye has an eas2spot ability and mroe hp.
if you do the btihc actic of standign behind real man with the semi auto sniper spamming bodyshots.
@Watsyurdeal for Kira, i dunno i just cant paly her right, and i palced arty after skyhammer since his weaposn demand mroe accuracy and his abilty deosnt have an indoors ability.
@triteCherry i palced him since its the only Engi without a damaging ability.

I have to disagree, Vaseline’s spotter is easier to use and more reliable. Redeye’s doesn’t always mark the enemy and it requires line of sight. Vaseline doesn’t need to be able to see someone to mark them, making it useful offensively (reveal the position of the defenders through the wall) or defensively (leaving the spotter on a side route the team isn’t defending so the enemy can’t sneak around you). With Redeye you can only spot the area you’re already actively fighting in.
Both mercs have the pdp, so both can spam body shots at a similar level, albeit Redeye is slightly superior here due to higher health.
The smoke requires experience to deploy because just throwing it out whenever will hinder your team more than the enemy’s.
[spoiler] @triteCherry you got all my lol’s, life is unfair D: [/spoiler]

Use PDP
Win
He’s a pretty easy merc.[/quote]
pdp is sniper EZmode.
I agree with almost everything.
I would change Kira and Arty, and put Bushwacker after Fletcher…
(Bush’s turret maybe ez cause you don’t need to do anything, but Bush is not that good at attacking as Fletcher or Proxy are, he can only defense since his turret can be easily outgunned by any merc, so he must stay in distance with turret, as well as he can’t place his turret anywhere…)
Other than that I agree.
Maybe I would change Nader and Rhino, but that is probably cause of my general hate for nades

If you are implying that he is easier than Red Eye… Red Eye also has an access to PDP.
Vaseline is harder to **** up due to not having a smoke grenade to blind your allies.
It was mostly a joke on how strong and easy to use the PDP is, especially in comparison to the other guns Vassili has access to which definitely take more skill to use, but the overall value proposition doesn’t match the PDP.
Which is why I think the PDP should be nerfed a bit.
PDP is the new strong rifle because the bolt-actions are currently super weak. So instead of being annoyed by the bolt-action people you’re now annoyed by the ones who switched over to the PDP. Which, funny enough, has always been extremely strong. It just didn’t catch on in the pub meta and it was used well but sparingly in the competitive meta up until recently with some new Redeye strats and less of a chance of losing your head and being insta-gibbed by a bolt action (and now most of those shots are even harder due to the jump accuracy changes).
Just like how the burst rifles have been super strong since the change to them and it’s just now catching on. I predict the PDP and burst rifles will be the new “hate” meta for people 
PDP has been the meta hate for months though (at least in my circles) Amerika 
Months isn’t a very long amount of time It’s only recent that the hate train has really gotten rolling among the masses.
