Okay so I heard a lot of talk about Fletcher’s sticky bombs getting nerfed.
I personally think that fletcher is quite balanced as a large majority of people have no clue how to use the sticky bombs correctly (efficient killing method).
I’d like to know your opinions on this potential nerf.
Personally I feel he’s too spammy.
It’s basically stickies only, I never find myself running out of them, and I never run into a Fletcher who doesn’t have all 3 ready to go every single time.
I get that’s part of the game but arguably, there probably are better ways to make mercs like Nader and Fletcher less frustrating to fight against without removing a large part of their power and strength.
Fletcher really just needs his cool down extended. The only damage issue IMO is the fact he OHKs Phoenix which isn’t ridiculous, but it could be changed.

Yeah Fletcher’s bombs are way too strong. Think about how good they are compared to Nader’s nades, who is a combat-only merc who moves slowly and is not an obj specialist. Sure, she gets better guns, but Fletcher barely even has to use his guns (pardon the pun).
The fact that Fletchers bombs can go off isntantly (whereas Nader’s need to make contact with the opponent or they take ages to explode) is the source of his ridiculous power. I’m not necessarily saying that we nerf this and make him unable to detonate his mines as quickly, but that is the reason he is so much stronger.

Just because a large part of the playerbase sucks with a merc doesn’t mean he is balanced…
I’ve played Fletcher a lot. I have thrown quite a few Stickies so poorly that I thought “no, that does not deserve to do damage” yet it does damage anyways. In the hands of noobs, it is easy for me to see how Fletcher’s stickies could be entirely too spammy.
I am all for a nerf to Fletcher’s Sticky Bomb AoE.
Fletcher might as well get a rebinding so that pressing 1 gives you the sticky bombs instead.
