Merc Rotation: Light and Tight

(JJMAJR) #1

Please don’t kill me.

Anyways, the three mercs in free rotation are Proxy, Kira, and Sparks. How would this affect the public metagame?

Probably not much anyways, but doesn’t change the fact that I think they are hot.

Yeah, this thread is a joke.

I want aura in a free rotation.

I’ll completely miss the point of your thread and actually address the question you asked. The main effect on the metagame in pub play is that Fletcher is having a field day with his sticky bombs, despite the so-called shadow nerf Fletcher was hit with (confirmed as a bug and scheduled to be fixed).

Beginners likely have access to 6 mercs - Skyhammer, Aura, Phoenix, Kira, Sparks, and Proxy. All of these mercs except Skyhammer are going to get wrecked when stuck. Playing as Fletcher in Execution mode (where beginners are everywhere) just doesn’t even feel fair.

So in other words everyone’s vulnerable to explosives? Huh, so I guess I should avoid Vasilli and Kira for now and main an explosives guy like Fragger or Nader. It’s kind of upsetting because I like roles that are more cerebral, which is why I don’t like playing as the medic.

Vasilli … cerebral

For some player, sure, but for the majority I have seen, that’s an oxymoron. I have put a linked for standard Vasilli player ^^

Fletcher is useful in this merc rotation. One stickybomb is enough to kill them. 2EZ

i once rolled with nader on execution market defense. went left onto the roof of the little warehouse and waited before i heard gunfire on my right. jumped down and shot 5 nades through the window, 1 of which bounced off the rails instead of going in. 3 kills, easy peasy.

nowadays, tho, i just go right as stoker and throw a molly up the stairs.
