Least Favorite Merc


(ludicrousBlast) #1

Who is your least favorite merc and why? Hopefully no hate since these are opinions.

Mine is Kira, I cant use her weapons effectively due to my low framerate, (I did just order parts for my new computer), The laser is gimmicky, and leaves you really vulnerable for a short period of time, and playing against burst weapons as a slower merc is a pain.

For clarification, do you mean least favourite to play, or least favourite overall?

Nah man Kira is a beast. Please make sure that when you get your new computer test her out again and vote fairly. Plus I got Godlike 4 times with her :smiley: And burst weapons are super op when you learn how to use them.

To use - Arty, I’m just awful at landing good artillery.
To have on team - RedEye and Vassili, always get the bad ones that camp awkward positions and miss all their shots
To play against - Vassili, instagibs are just not fun, completely ruin the pace of the game for me. Bushwhacker is my most hated to play against when he’s on rotation.

I will try her out again, but for now, I just don’t do well with her.

Aura and her heal-station squatting and noob shotgun. If that merc was strapped to a rocket and fired into the next distant galaxy, I wouldn’t miss her a bit.

To fight against - Aura
To play as - Rhino


(DirtyMedal) #8

to play as arty- he feel like skyhammer with semi auto weapons (which i hate)
to play against- there isnt really, although 2 rhinos at a team can be annoying, especially with a healing station


(frolicsomeCrane) #9

I can’t decide who I hate more between Proxy and Aura.


(smartIsland) #10

I deeply dislike naders nades. Not exploding on impact was simply a horrible decision


(Mister__Wiggles) #11

It’s either Aura or Rhino for me. Aura has way to little health for me to find viable over sawbonez (and soon to be phoenix) and she has shotguns which are my least favourite weapon class although the anhuld is actually pretty fun. Rhino because he is one dimensional, sit at a choke point with a medic and defend, effective but massively boring.


(XavienX) #12

Fletcher.

Kira and Arty share the same primary weapon pool, perform the same team role (ammo supplier) and their action skill are both area effect. I wonder if there is something in the works that will distinguish both of them.


(brennanfreak) #14

@Xavien U WOT


(Yes) #15

You mean something Kira having less HP and higher movement speed?
Or Kira having an ammo station while Arty gives individual packs?
Or Kira being able to move her beam around and it stays for amount of time while Arty will just hit one spot and that’s it?
Or Arty having less cooldown on his artillery?

They are different enough mercs.


(Jostabeere) #16

Can’t stand multiple. Proxy, Aura, Sparks and Fletcher.
@Clown B-b-b-b-but they’re both Asian!

Obviously I don’t agree on Arty - it’s much better than half a year before, but the awkward laser-thing is still annoying (no, not here. there is a cable right above this spot. not there either. reasons. now you’re dead because you tried to call in artiellery. haha)

Snipers on the team aren’t that bad if you’re on defense and the opponents have no engineer and are fewer than your team. Jokes aside, an actual skilled sniper is no fun at all, and having the unskilled ones on your team is even worse. If 4 opponents are a sniper, they eventually get lucky…

I don’t like to play as Fragger - I suck with the nade, and the ammo supply mercs do not supply ammo to me, so I switch to something with unlimited ammo:
That is why I like Skyhammer and Arty - decent combat stats, mostly good primary abilities, and I don’t have to v-2-2 or suicide-play to get ammo. Nader is my second choice - if I’m out of primary ammo, t’s time for a knifing spree and a little fireworks. That works surprisingly well in PUG servers and sooo many tasty tears :open_mouth:

What I meant was how they contribute to team play.

Phantom, because he reminds of some copy of american ninja character that is as annoying as teenager/young adult who tries to be cool but fails miserably.
Something similar to deadpool would have been cooler.
His theme just icks me especially when I play him.
Then again he is miles better than that annoying Phantom in Mass Effect 3. At least Phantom in DB isn’t doing those ridicilous acrobatics and poses during firefight.
Kai Leng copy would had stopped me from playing this game altogether.

And Red Eye has the most stupid voice ever “I spy with my red eye and…bang!”
It’s like, get some water dude already.

From playing perspective, I don’t like to play with Kira/Rhino. I don’t get anything out of the laser and Rhino like said above is one dimensional.

I don’t get the gibbing part of Vasili even though of course since he shoots from distance his targets might be more easily revivable than those shot on closer range. But if you use the rifle on mid range to shoot someone through the scope with instagib while other characters must get multiple headshots with their rifles (even the “other” sniper Red Eye) to first down to person and then gib them it doesn’t just sound right.
