Kooky Balance Changes - PART TWO/4.75!? [SATIRE]


(Xenithos) #1

The goal of these posts is to “fix” every merc so that they are either cool, or annoying issues with them become resolved. SIKE, this post is a complete joke.[spoiler]Claims he’ll be posting a new thread every two to three days, ends up taking a week and a half, Smh.[/spoiler]

Fletcher - Arguably the finest man in DB, he is the only black male after all, is also probably the best freaking combat engineer too. With a sick name like Fletcher, there’s no need to change it, only what he does. Fletcher, means arrow, or maker/seller of arrows. Either he’s the guy that made all the Dirty Bombs (He has been making some pretty sticky gifts), or he’s the one making all the weapons. The Crotzni was made by his company after all… But in all honesty, we’ll never really know until he takes off those glasses. This 5 star African cook/JokeySmurf/Arms Dealer/Mercenary with an explosive sense of humor also happens to be the hardest to balance character in DB. And if you can’t fix him, join him.

Changes - He’s gotta either use the guns he’s making, meaning, give him the fudging Crotzni! Why isn’t he using it!? Or his ability needs to change from sticky grenades to Explosive arrows. We’re NOT CHANGING THE NAME, ITS TOO AWESOME, ALRIGHT!? Maybe he should be able to pre-arm explosive type objects, and then fling them to objectives USING his bow! Alright, screw giving him the Crotzni, we’re making him DB version of Hanzo. He shoots everyone, blowing them to pieces. Or… maybe I’m looking at this wrong. Maybe his sticky bombs should just be called arrows, and instead of doing such massive area damage, they just really fudging hurt anyone they hit? Whatever, this African is pretty much untouchable honestly, SD needs to quit breaking him, fixing him, and then breaking every other deploy-able ability at the same time. If you touch Fletcher, everyone gets touched…

Fragger - This man is the most freaking awesome military man ever, his taunts are perfect, he uses an out of control machine gun, and he’s just got class, but for some reason he only throws pineapples!? Like… the frag grenade used in World War 2, the MkII?! WHY IS HE USING SUCH OUTDATED GARBAGE!? No wonder it can’t kill Rhino at point blank range. No wonder he has to literally get it within a FOOT or LESS THAN A THIRD OF A METER to Kill Thunder. https://i.gyazo.com/d6256137aedbe33767a9deab86d21f4e.png
32 freaking centimeters. What. On. Earth. Is this Veteran using?

Changes - That’s it, first thing we’re doing is giving him the entire freaking frag grenade arsenal from EDF 2017. It’s 2020 anyway, so he should have it all to himself by now. He’s gonna be knocking buildings down now, okay!? Also, can there please be a way to make sure he’s throwing it less like a wimp!? Give him a secondary control of force button ability for “e” on the keyboard. This guy is named Fragger, he’s been throwing iron grenades his entire life, let him throw further and harder.
IF he’s at least throwing M67s, then let the damage be pain.

Steel fragments (not to be confused with shrapnel) are provided by the grenade body and produce an injury radius of 15 metres (49 ft), with a fatality radius of 5 metres (16 ft)
So… I’m asking it one last time, why does his frag have a kill zone of people without full body armor like Rhino, of 1 foot, 1/16 the guaranteed power of a real grenade? Hmm? Alright, no realism haters, just saying when his grenade doesn’t kill an Aura in the same room, it’s pretty sad.

I hit the character limit cap, so I’m posting a message right after this one. :expressionless:

A general gameplay change
Let players throw and catch datacores, so that we can play a mini rugby. You can throw it to players who are in a better position to move in and deliver but if an enemy catches it mid air, the objective is returned instantly.

we used to play golf with cones in Alpha, there were a couple cone games


(Your worst knifemare.) #13

Phanton can now fly by spinning his katana.

Oh but there is already.

Proxy commits suicide every time she shoots her mines.

Turrets now have 100% more health

  • shoot missles
  • walks
  • flies
  • Bush can drive it
  • is now a mech

EV should drive faster. I can’t believe that a car called an Evacuation Vehicle can be out ran by someone as big as Rhino

Both teams should be able to kill any Kira since it would perfectly match her profile because lore>balance


(TitaniumRapture) #14

What about fixing that insane radius of airstrikes in which healing station is always destroyed. :confused:


(Mc1412013) #15

I know but i dont have one :frowning:

Phantom is related to thor now. Only those who are worthy may wield the sword??


(AlbinMatt) #16

Also, make Nader have an affair with Skyhaggis, so we can have Demoman from TF2.


(TitaniumRapture) #17

I know but i dont have one :([/quote]

Is that some kind of sarcasm?


(Mc1412013) #18

Whoops wrong person quoted stupid mobile phon ill fix


(KangaJoo) #19

Is there a serious version of this thread around? One where people go over what they’d like changed about each merc.

Why is Phantom a white-brown-haired-middle-aged-male ninja?
How could you make a discount American Ninja expy?! We all know ninjas are Asian only!
Replace Phantom with Lo Wang, from Shadow Warrior, and give him Chi powers!

And how could you not give Proxy a double jump? She’s a discount TF2 Scout and you fail to copy him entirely!
