Everyone complained about phantom

[quote=“bumbertyr;57510”][quote=“avidCow;57508”][quote=“triteTongs;57503”]It’s exactly what I figured.

Melee turn limit needed to be removed for low damage weapons, and tweaked for high damage weapons. They did that and now the melee feels a lot better.

Now they just have to adjust the cloak cool down by 2 seconds. His cloak is not very special since you can still see him. Reducing it will make it more combat effective (in all his play styles).

He’s still pretty easy to take out when you see him running at you, so it’s not like the cool down will break him. It’ll just let him score more instead of hiding in a corner waiting for his cloak to recharge. [/quote]

I’d prefer they just go back to how it was and make him harder to see. He is supposed to be stealthy recon guy after all. The damage gate is gone and he has fewer health points. Give him a break, SD.[/quote]

the problem is they decided to nerf the hell out of him before red eye was released.[/quote]

Without going too far off topic, I would say that this trend of balancing while the game is technically incomplete is problematic for every character.

Really valid point. I feel like most of the community don’t know that any other recon make Phantom cloak 100% useless. As someone who played RedEye I totaly understood why Phantom was the way he was. Vassili, Aimee or RedEye will just show all that.

Honestly I don’t think that’s it either, I think they listened to all the pub players who don’t take the game seriously enough to warrant a valid opinion of balance. When they should be listening to competitive and league players who will use every single tool Splash gives them, and if they don’t, figure out why that is, or if it’s banned, figure out why that is.

Bush has kek10 too and they have similar health and speed, so it’s basically turret+objective skills vs cloak that is not that amazing in my opinion.
