i’m confused at the question. cooking a nade takes 2 seconds at most. You can’t even cook skyhammer’s ability. Driving a remote control ANYTHING around is going to take way more time than that - especially if there’s any room for counterplay by shooting the car - all the while, while peering into a screen, you aren’t going to be shooting at people.
Again, this is why aimee’s ability was changed from the camera to the snitch device.
The SNITCH device is too obvious and is way too flashy. It should have just spotted enemies like Redeye does.
If Aimee needed a combat buff then it should be with her weapons.
Secondly, I think that there should be a more specific definition on what this character does.
If it’s an objective specialist, which does objectives more quickly, then the ability should be defensive in nature, and not be able to blow up and take out everyone in a room.
If the character’s going to push, it shouldn’t have objective specialist and have a defensive perk to go alongside it. The problem is: there is no defensive perks in this game. Most defensive tools are either weapons (snipers, LMGs) or abilities (turret, health station) and therefore would force the character to either pick up a defensive ability, or use sniper rifles/LMGs. The health/speed build is also lackluster for an assault.
I would be fine with an RC drone that would be able to shoot and take down enemies. The character wouldn’t be bad if the drone was remote-control and caused the player to become inactive. The Q ability would bring up the controller and the screen, while the E ability would resummon the drone to the player’s location.
As an added bonus the drone would be immune to spotting. If the drone would shoot, that just means the player is killing people on the other side of the map while their own body would be completely immobile.
The drone could also have the same mobility and health as the player in that situation, but because the drone can’t be dealt extra damage to the face its effective HP would be double. The only downside of course being that they can’t heal, even from the presence of medics, and they also are exclusively using a secondary, meaning that their effective speed is 95% that of normal, and their DPS would be at smallest 91% that of the actual player.
This means that the character could effectively have two versions of herself, one that takes 1/2 damage from bullets, no pulse or healing, and uses a pistol all the time, while her own self is able to shred things with assault rifles, is able to heal/regenerate, and run faster with knives.
The latter’s survival is absolutely necessary in order for the former to do any work, while the former is just stronger and less easily detected than the latter.
@Naonna do frag nades shoot?
@JJMAJR Fletcher is an offensive engineer.
You can play mercs how you want, offensivly, devensive etc.
Also if it works in cod, it can work here.
Fletcher’s just disgusting. An offensive engineer of the caliber that you are suggesting in that recent comment would kill the game.
Objective Specialist is a primarily offensive perk. It’s not supposed to combo with an ability that works best when the player needs to push.
The reason why Fletcher got the stickies the way they are is because he needs a medium range weapon. The lack of such a weapon made him and Proxy very poor at combat and defending themselves, and unusable in high level play. But he’s cancer with that kind of offensive power.
The reason why Rhino/Aura get away with it is because Rhino has revolvers and the minigun, while Aura has the healing station, which is the absolute best ability in the game.
@JJMAJR correction, lots of high lvl players play fletcher and proxy.
What if we would buff his health then.
Buff his RC car.
Give him AR.
And change him to assault?
You are making me itch where my nitpick tendencies belong.
Anyways, if she’s an assault, then it would be fine if her ability is offensive.
@JJMAJR good.
Anyways she will never happen anyways, but still always fun to suggest!
@JJMAJR your worse than the media.
What was meant to say was that the devs are working on bugfixes now, not mercs.

Dude, can’t you take a joke? I didn’t actually report you for anything, and I made that joke a while ago in a General Discussion thread.
Fuck man, it was supposed to be funny.
