It needs a nerf, even in 6v6 (I dont play competitive as its even more of a joke now) most pubs devolve into explosives spam.
Being 1shot as Kira, sparks, proxy and aura by stickybombs and nader nades is just frustrating.
Generators kill you at ridiculous range and airstrikes are flat out dumb.
Ontop of all this theres the free rotations (whoever though it a good idea to make it 2 weeks and not just 1 needs to rethink this) that throw balance out the window for 2 weeks at a time.
well, a kira can also onehitkill many other mercs, sparks revivr headshots kill lots of mercs with one hit, proxys mines kill even thougher mercs with one hit and aura has a good stationary heal
they are supposed to be squishy
if you always get hit by explosives you should probably start to make some ground between you and mercs with explosives and hit them with your weapons
explosives cant be thrown all over the map, use your speed to dogde them
Play mercs with 110hp+ health pools or get better if you prefer the squishy mercs.
I see a lot of beginners complaining about nader and fletcher specifically, since getting one shot by them feels cheap, but you do have to understand that your low health that enables them to one hit kill you also has advantages. it’s the reason many sparks/vassilis don’t hit you as well, if you haven’t noticed that.
Explosives have been nerfed multiple times already, Naders grenade launcher even in the patch before this one.
And if you’re dying to airstrikes, you need to learn to spot them better and maybe get a loadout with guardian angel.
It really is up to you to handle this situation 
Nader free week and you tell me to use my speed as kira (that got nerfed because reasons) to avoid explosive damage…
As for sparks being able to oneshot with revivir thats completely different since it requires AIM to do. explosives spammed doesnt.
Im fine with abilities that cant be spammed (such as airstrikes, artystrikes and fragger nades) but i cant stand nader or fletcher spam.
Free Nader week is more like Free Kill week. Most of the people picking Nader try to use the grenade launcher as a primary kill weapon. And the grenades are very easy to avoid…especially if you’re close to them and close the distance required to arm grenades. You shoot them in the face while they shoot nearly harmless grenades at you.
Good Nader’s use the launcher as an area denial and herding tool and focus more on chip damage than trying to get yolo direct hit kills.
So you might want to analyze how you’re playing as opposed to blaming the game as that will help you out quite a bit more.
Oh i have no problem killing the bads, i just hate the explosive spam and consider it stupid that its even possible to spam explosives like nader can.
You’re probably right, I want a shooter where i dont have to dodge grenadespam every match and aim is valued over positioning.

Small position changes combined with aim makes her “spam” irrelevant. Once you learn the game proper you’ll look back at this thread and have a good chuckle at yourself.
I was trying to decide whether to laugh or roll on the floor and laugh at your ignorance and/or stupidity, but then i realised you might be trolling and now im not sure.
explosives and explosive mercs arent overpowered (except arguably fletcher but the explosives are the key factor in that one)
this is more a l2p issue
Nader’s nades doesn’t do too much damage. Tried it out. It’s good to claim space, but killing nope.
They just got nerfEd her nades were not so useless before. They reduced the damage radius to almost nothing so now u need direct head shots to do any major damage. I still like naders nades even thouh u need sniper accuracy to kill. they still take out ev and generators the same as before. And I still do some decent amount to of kills with her nades
What are you doing. It’s pretty obvious you haven’t played much Dirty Bomb and 99% that you’re a noob. People are giving you suggestions for your question and you’re rejecting all of them. What the hell else do you want us to reply?
Even if it is annoying, more than not, good aim will win the fight 8-9/10 times.
If you want an FPS that relies more on aim than positioning, you wont find one, cause they usually go hand in hand.
Get a few more hours under your belt and revisit this topic.
