Least favourite mercs

(Tom2160) #1

I was wondering what is your least favourite merc? Mine personally is proxy as she is the most annoying to play against followed by nader.

Mirrors, both on my team and opposing.

Thunder because when I look at him I’m reminded of 50k credits I’ll never get back.

Vasilli, Not the people that are half decent with him, they’re alright, but those brand new players that stole their dad’s credit card to buy him and apparently have no idea how to aim down sights or use their heart beat sensor…

My lord do those guys annoy me…

Thunder, Phoenix and Rhino are the lowest on my list.
I just don’t play Phoenix much, though I appreciate the instant heal and consider it very useful. Thunder is just not as good as everything else, it’s hard to tell if you landed a proepr concussion. Most of the time you throw a concussion grenade that you think landed flat in their faces, you run in and most of the enemies are running slowly with their eyes covered … while still shooting at you.

Rhino just isn’t versatile enough to pick. He can be good, though with a good aim, I prefer something more accurate and reliable.

All female mercs (annoying abilities, not because they’re female)

Snipers

(ImSploosh) #10

I love all of them.

I actually really enjoy Thunder

I dislike Vassilis, they’re really annoying to fight against.

Vassili is the only merc I can’t play at all, go figure I can use the PDP okay on Red Eye, but do nothing with it on Vassili.

Aura and Proxy. Darn roadrunner shotgun wielding invincible mine laying duo. Blishlok and hochfir ones are okay though, they’re in my good side

Any kind of sniper (I’m not bad with them I just dislike them in this game) and Kira. For some reason I find Kira hard to hit, even though Aura/Sparks/Proxy are faster it just feels like Kira is way smaller.

All medics

Rhino and Proxy. They just aren’t very in depth mercs and have low skill ceilings.

Even up close I find her hard to hit though. She just looks smaller and seems to blend in with most maps more so. It’s weird haha.

Also idk about that Proxy comment. Honestly I find the more I use Proxy the better I am with her. I slay just as hard with Proxy as I do with Skyhammer/Arty etc.

I think she’s very noob friendly don’t get me wrong, but I don’t necessarily think she has a low skill ceiling.

Shotgunning bunny hoppers…

Proxy.

I can top a scoreboard as her fairly easily. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a low skill ceiling. She just has mines that are really easy to use (press Q) with a little learning curve as to where they go and how to suicide onto a pile of ignorant people, but that’s really easy to figure out. Other than that, she’s just a light merc with shotty+Hotch primaries and MPs for some of the cards. Maybe she’d be more skillful if the mines had an actually decent throwing path, but there really isn’t much for her as far as learning goes.
