Do you think Javelin is fun to play against?


(emjot) #21

He is right tho, it’s like: “What do you prefer to wear: suit or casual”. It all depends on where I am going. Nothing is black and white, so I voted Yes.


(scrub_lord) #22

You guys are reading too far into it. We all play this game because we think it’s fun. Some mercs can hinder that experience for whatever reason you may have. Does Javelin fall into that category, yes or no?

Wow

A scale would basically be pointless anyways cause the lower half would mean unfun and the upper half would mean fun.

Also, if you find that many mercs unfun to play against, why are you still playing the game? lmao

I find pretty much all of them meh/neutral to play against. But your poll doesn’t have that option because it is clearly designed to obtain the result you want. I’m just demonstrating this because @$!# polls really grind my gears.

Meh/neutral doesn’t mean unfun

It doesn’t mean fun, which is what your poll asks about.

You ask bad questions, you get bad answers, you make bad changes based on those answers. Simple.

So your entire post was pointless. Good going.

That’s your opinion.

Play with fuck yeah. But against hell no.

There are issues with jev reported in many threads, to sum em up:

  • she makes other ammo refiller useless
  • instagib, no way to tell if shes rocketing behind the corner
  • speed with rocket launcher
    … and few others, these are most common reported by others. Some agree, some don’t.

Clearly there is a lot of people saying she’s op, but some disagree. It’s a matter of time, then a matter of finding good balance in terms of tweaking her.

But, answering your question more directly:
It’s fun to play against her, and by raping her off good K/D ratio showing the player behind that specific lodout - she can’t just run with her rocket feeling like a god. So yeah, its fun to play against her.

I’m sure SD will do something with top issues reported towards new merc, just give it a time.

Also, I don’t think you’re being honest here, because you don’t like that everyone so far has a different opinion from you.

If you found everything meh/neutral to play against, then you clearly aren’t enjoying the game very much.

If you legit feel completely indifferent about her, then don’t answer the poll. The point is whether people find her fun or not, not if she is fun, unfun or neutral. Sorry my poll doesn’t have an option for you since you’re the only person who is completely indifferent about every merc in the game.

lmao

So now you have an unknown group of people that find her fine. Good poll. Also the yes/no answers are useless without any point of reference.

Instead of making further personal jabs you should spend your time researching how to make useful polls. Here’s an example:

How fun is Javelin to play against compared to Fragger?
much less
slightly less
comparable
slightly more
much more


(TheStrangerous) #28

Fragger’s grenade and Nader’s nades have a red circle around them, but not rocket missiles…


(BloodySin) #29

Without a neutral option this “poll” is a sham just wanting validation for the “No” option. As I main a Blish-Aura, 99.9% of the things in the game 1-hit kill me already so Javelin is just a damn fine ass new one to the list. With the cooldown, though, she’s much less frustrating than spams of grenades, stickies or jumping shotguns for me.


(Unrivaled) #30

Simple poll, simple answer: no.

Simple reason: she barely requires any skills to be effective with.

The first post explains that very well.

Some people seem to have a problem with simple things and want to overcomplicate everything.

Simple poll from simple man for simple people right? :smiley:


(Your worst knifemare.) #32

Its best when you shoot it out of the sky with your tiny 80 hp medic sniper and kill her in the process.


(Greehn) #33

Getting gibbed by the rocket launcher feels cheesy, so no, I dont think she is fun to play against.

I have seen the comparison to fragger but after a couple of hours with Javelin I get more consistent kills/double kills/tripple kills with her rocket launcher than I ever did with fragger who I’ve played for far far longer.

I need to have more playtime with the Shar-C before I form an opinion on it.


(SteelMailbox) #34

She can literally kill you in one second.


(Szakalot) #35

she needs a nerf but already epic longjump dodges are amazing. My favorite was on chapel mg bridge on 1st obj, while crossing, an enemy javelin peeked me with a rocket ready. Long jumping off the bridge and barely getting hit(~20hp) made me feel like an ultimate badass


(watsyurdeal) #36

About as fun to deal with as Nader or Kira so…


(pumpkinmeerkat) #37

Standard firing mode should be removed IMO. Doubt that will happen but surely she’ll be tweaked soon, plenty of balancing routes for SD to take.


(Guziol) #38

Bit longer charge time on fire, audible warning when it is charging and maybe 5 seconds longer cooldown and i would be absolutely fine with playing against her.


(Noir) #39

It voted “No” because I don’t want to encourage passive abilities and one hit mechanics.

To be completly honest, I had very good laughs on day one playing her. Yesterday was another story.

I keep seeing people comparing her to Fragger and have to disagree. I barely see new players getting 3 men nades. They don’t know how to use it, maybe because it requires timing. Fragger is the merc I play the most and it took time to know the spots, the timings and get 3 men consistently.
I play with a friend of mine and I had to actually teach her how to get 3 men nades. And she was SO happy when she got her first 3 men nade at spawn.

Javelin need no teaching and has no learning curve. I see way to many multiple kills done by new players and I highly doubt they would have made the same with Fragger.

I still don’t know about Scar-H. I think it’s somewhere between M4 and BR-16. It feels very powerfull.

Play as her? Fun.
Fight against her? Fuck that.
