Guardian just feels.... no now

(HadronZodiac) #1

So after the guardian nerf/buff, she feels just weird, and even underpowered (hold up).

Now her revive buff, was needed. She has no healing abilities so she just felt useless when it came to dishing out revive health.

But her shield…

Now its more reason to use it as a reaction, as the shorter lifetime and cooldown, however they never changed her deploy time. It NEEDS to be reduced so it can be used more skill based, less shield based. She now can only stop airstrikes, and the enemy team has to be EXTRA stupid to waste their ability on her.

If we reduce her deploy time by at least 40% she would be somewhere, where if she is played right she is a beast

summary - The drone is being forced into more reaction gameplay instead of shield gameplay, but the still long deploy time (incapable of reaction stopping arty strikes, javelin rockets, etc) doesnt support that. So ye, decrease the deploy time

I dont really understand what you’re saying. She feels underpowered but you want to nerf the hell out of her drone deploy time?

If you feel her deploy time is long, which it is not, then here are some tips for you.

  1. Use Phantom’s Refractive Armor to disable the Sky Shield for the remainder of the duration.
  2. Sky shield does not stop Kira’s laser, already placed/deployed projectiles, Sparks’ Revifle, Proxy’s mines or Nader’s Martyrdom
  3. Destroy the drone by shooting it (very easy to do)
  4. Use more than one airstriker

If you think shes underpowered work on:

  1. Multi revives
  2. Deploying drone at the right time
  3. Use perks to help with your playstyle (bigger drone area, more drone hp, faster revive cooldown, etc)
  4. Assault rifle, the only medic who has one

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Kind of confuse with your thoughts @HadronZodiac
Thanks for sharing your ideas @Ominous.

I’ll donate Au$20 if Devs pay attention to this.

I’ve been saying it for quite a while now.

deploy time in OP’s point - time it takes to deploy it. time after pressing ‚q’ and before the drone stops shooting shit down.

This needs reducing indeed; currently its far too slow to use offensively/reactively

Give the drone Javs rocket windup time and give Jav’s rocket windup the drones deploy time.
