Most OP merc (combi)?


(Mr.Dubstab) #1

If you voted something, please let me know the reasoning behind this below! I would love to go through some thoughts, and maybe see what others think.

As for my vote (Rhino): I feel like Rhino isn’t going down too easily with slight surroundings of a medic. I feel like when Rhino camps, he will never die (with obviously a somewhat experienced player).


(Reddeadcap) #2

Can we have a “None” option?


(Yak) #3

Rhino and Aura inside, when all your teammates have someone with explosives in their arsenal yet no one plays them.


(Mr.Dubstab) #4

@Yak Not sure what you mean. Do you mean that nobody uses their explosives to get Rhino down, while having explosives on them?

If so, I totally agree with you. I feel like Rhino takes the overhand over all classes right now. Certainly now Phantom isn’t really the one having a chance against him (anymore).

I mean that my entire teams has mercs like Fragger and Nader in their loadouts and refuses to use them, even though the enemy team is 2 Rhinos and 3 Auras on the last objective on bridge.

Thought you meant that. Yet again: I totally agree with you, as Rhino takes the overhand easily, especially on the bridge map… Luckily I stopped playing that map entirely, as you only see Fletchers, Rhino’s and Aura’s over there…


(Ghosthree3) #7

I just can’t bring myself to think of Rhino as a threat when he dies to everything so easily. His only strength is an Aura station and a strong position which is destroyed with a single nade that also brings him down to next to no hp.


(Yak) #8

Yes, but if your team refuses to use explosives (happens way too often) he’s a demigod with Aura at his side.


(Edzer) #9

Voted vassili, but not for the semi sniper since it’s total garbage. Voted vassili for the instagib with the MoA and Felix. Sadly there is not a non of the above option like Redcap mentioned… Lol.


(Alchimi) #10

The little problem I see with this poll is that some mercs are combined with other, while other are alone… Of course Rhino + medic is more powerful than a solo whoever.

Sorry but the poll is biased. It should be all mercs alone. Or all mercs paired with a medic, but in that case it will depend on the configuration. Rhino/Aura is op in corridor. Rhino/Aura in the open with a good Vassili at the other end of the map is almost useless…


(Eox) #11

This.

And an “other” option too.


(Mr.Dubstab) #12

I cant change the vote options, so sorry about that… Anyways, I like the feedback I am reading though.


(ttownjoe) #13

i happy to see that the most OP merc (my fav) has 0 votes in the poll, i will happily withhold my vote so as to not draw attention to which merc it is. :slight_smile:


(Ottah) #14

Hi, let me shoot your head off and render your medic useless. (autosniper lol?)

Edit: i dont think Rhino+Med is OP, just what i think new players would find OP.


(OmaGretel) #15

Why is fragger not on the list?

Well not to long ago had a lovely match in Underground…they had 2 Rhinos, 2 Sawbonez, and a Aura…let me tell you it wasn’t a fun match.

It’s easy to say Rhino is easy to kill but without a Sniper or some nades he can be very tough…especially in tight little areas like in Underground.

For extra saltyness, you play as nader and watch as your rambosmedics storm in first like lemmings and die instantly. You manage to break the Rhino fort with your nades and then get swamped and die. Rinse repeat. True facts, luv hurts.


(Suave) #18

I think this poll is a bit unclear too, just let people vote most op merc and let them pick 1 merc only. I’m thinking Fragger, Proxy, Skyhammer are among the best mercs for sure.
Fragger and Proxy having instakill tools without using too much effort/skills. Hell even Phantom had to work harder :slight_smile:


(Mr.Dubstab) #19

The reason I chose to not go for just 1 merc, is because I feel like I’ve heared the most complaints about these merc(s) (combi’s).


(TheOrangePhantome) #20

Defenately Aura and Rhino. When Aura puts down her heal station it heals every … secs dunno how many and with rhinos minigun u can take care of people from CQ to mid range (well for mid range u gotta burst but i still think u can be somewhat effective at that distance) and if Aura can handle 1 v 1s so i cant imagine how op that combination can get. But if a phantom is sneaky enough and if the rhino is destracted he may be able to break that combination.
