Fletcher Prediction

(_Sniff_) #1

After Fletcher is nerfed with the AoE radius decrease the new loadout 2.0 cards will have explodydendron on the best loadouts.

(BananaSlug) #2

not if the change was like 10%, because that nerf wold be almost useless

(Haki) #3

also a loadout with explodydendron + lock on to create Fletcher 383 !

(Potato_Ladder) #4

They better fix the stickies not thrown after pressing the required button first though.

(Eox) #5

I’d be more hyped about a Fletcher loadout with both Springy, Flying Pig and Lock On/Quick Draw, everything with a SMG loadout. Now that would be a loadout I’d play the hell out of it. Especially if the SMG in question is SMG-9 or Hochfir, but I don’t think I’ll get anything but the Blishlok.

(DarkMatterMatt) #6

My 383 would be a Hochfir with Lock On, Explodydendron, and Double Time

(Jostabeere) #7

I want a Fletcher with minigun.

(ElDingDong) #8

Make fletcher have fraggers grenades, 4 of them, make em sticky and detonable!

That’s cool and all but it’d be even cooler if they perhaps added another SMG to his arsenal. Like the SMG 9 for example.

If not that then shotguns need some further tweaking, like higher rates of fire, less pellets but tighter spread, things like that.

The primary problem with Fletcher is that his main weapons aren’t so great, and at the same time, his stickies are incredibly frustrating because he always has them ready to go.

This is why Fragger was nerfed wasn’t it? To reduce the nades and therefore increase the skill floor needed to use his nade effectively? Same thing could be argued here, but the problem is Fletcher would need some buffs to make him more effective, like +10 health and his guns would need to be more viable. The secondaries are fine, but the primaries need work.

A Hollunds + Empire-9 card with a worthy perk set.

(Reddeadcap) #11

Splash Damage will apply the AOE Decrease including, unexpected changes.

  • Longer Cooldown per Sticky Bomb
  • Longer Priming/Arming time on Sticky Bombs.
  • Less Damage per Sticky Bomb.
  • 2% Faster movement speed on the EV.
  • Lower Sticky bomb count to 2.

@Watsyurdeal Confirmed by SD mercs will not receive any weapons they don’t already have, rip smg9 dreams

(triteCherry) #13

Was that before or after the announcement of the new cards?

That would be a great way to get me to stop playing Dirty Bomb

(PleasantWheat) #15

@triteCherry when they annouced the 2nd gen cards people asked if mercs would be getting new weapons, eg thunder getting k121 and fragger getting mk42. SD said no they would not

(SirSwag) #16

I predict that Sniff will still wreck us mere mortals with Fletcher regardless of what happens to him.

(PleasantWheat) #17

@SirSwag Amen to that

(KattiValk) #18

If they nerf sticky AOE again, they had better revert the throw time nerf.

(Dysfnal) #19

They should decrease the accuracy of jump throws and leave it at that

(ElDingDong) #20

Personally, I don’t have a problem with Fletcher in his current state. He has a huge skill ceiling. Good Fletcher’s dominate, bad Fletcher’s don’t. If they nerf him, he’ll probably become a potato.

We had similar problems with Phantom, but the nerfed him to oblivion. I hope SD doesn’t nerf Fletcher to such an extent where Fletcher isn’t Fletcher anymore
