Idea that will improve the game and make less new players want to quit

Delete Javelin.

… but she has a nice butt and says funny things about mashed potaters. Giving her a loadout skin with an apron so we can spam the potato taunt would keep anyone hooked on this game.

Yeah…because deleting a character that has been around for a few weeks will fix problems that have been around years before she was released.

I rarely get killed by her. Her ability is simply on par with that of Fragger’s and Nader’s. In fact, I believe Fragger’s is more powerful. Nerfing her into the ground like they’ve done with Stoker would be terrible.

She needs a rework, not necessarily a nerf. I don’t want to see another Stoker, but random instagib kills are just stupid. The same goes for Fragger tbh, but with regards to one-hit kills.
No matter how much cook time you give them, there’s always the ability to pop out from a corner and instantly get a kill, regardless of the opponent’s skill. An enemy should always have the chance to retaliate. I believe abilities should be used to aid a person’s skill level, not bypass it.

Fragger and nader have vary obvious animations, never instagib, and especially with nader, can rarely one shot a merc. Whereas Javelin can instagib anyone from anywhere on the map with no warning.
She really is too easy to play. Look at any public match, even the worst player can topscore with her.

If you have a loadout with the Explotions Resistance (like %15) you dont get instantly killed with Fragger, Nader, or Proxy’s proximity mines (if you are fats enough) yet Javelin can, with a direct hit…mmm I cant see wich is the problem, is it unbalanced… is it lack of skill to avoid the rocket…becouse you can shoot the rocket. Hard to say.

she definitely needs a nerf. maybe remove his guided mode or add an effect where the enemy can see that she is loading his rocket like arty’s artillery where you can see something like a laser if youre facing him while he’s casting his artillery.

A nerf will likely happen this month. But man, this thread could use more constructivity.

Closing.
