NEW ROTATION: Vassili, Nader and Bushwhacker

(HeadStrikeR !) #61

Nader is already a very strong merc, the nade spam will be real once people realize how powerful it is to stack naders.

(Faraleth) #62

All the while Fragger trumps Nader in almost every way. A skilled Fragger player will out-weight a Nader 9 times out of 10, honestly, it’s why Fragger is the preferred assault in competitive. :stuck_out_tongue:

The thing people get so bothered with, with Nader, is the fact that she suffers from what I like to call the “per-nerf-Phantom-condition”, which is basically: The merc is powerful, but not overly so. The reason they are considered so “powerful” is down to the lack of skill required to get kills in pub matches. The skill:kill ratio is all off balance.

Phantom was like this on release - the difference between a bad and a skilled player using him was that both could rack up kills easily about the same. Don’t get me wrong though, Nader is NO WHERE NEAR as bad as Phantom was, and she is one of my favourite mercs c: Hopefully this helped explain a little! xP

I mean strong hp with good guns, perks and two nades you can get multiple kills with that instagib. Never understood this logic.

Because the primary reason fragger is so strong is cause the M4 is such damn good gun right now with it’s recoil pattern being pretty much exactly the same every time, and it has good spread and accuracy.

That and it’s on a card with Toughness, and Explodywhathefuckhowtospellthat, whatever makes him explosive radius larger.

He has one of the best guns, with two of the best perks, people use that for the same reason they use the Crotzni loadout on Sawbonez, it’s simply the best of everything.

That said I’ve seen people use Nader, and the major difference is that a good player can dodge her nades, you can’t avoid a cooked frag, that’s the whole point of them it seems. (though I think it’s bulls$#&)

Well the scrubs trailer sure shows the result

(Lissxy) #67

Excited to play Bushwacka again! Not excited to get spammed by nades and turrets though.

(TheOrangePhantome) #68

@Kirays U sure no1 can reach you cuz i’m a pretty sneaky ba$tard.

(TheOrangePhantome) #69

@Faraleth Sadly there are many retards in the gaming community. Funny enough some dumby told me that Phantom is op and he should get nerfed cuz i killed him all the time and i was using my cloak as a bullet sponge.

(DMaster2) #70

It finally came the time a new rotation is announced and it’s useless for me because i have all those mercs already. Anyway any rotation is fine by me unless phantom is in it.

(TheOrangePhantome) #71

@cannyEdition Why aren’t you fine with phantom dude?

(Sorotia) #72

How much worse can it be then grenade and turret spam?..well maybe the only thing worse I could see is if they put Rhino instead of Vas.

If they put fatman instead of nader*

(Sorotia) #74

I’d rather face a practicing Vas than a practicing Nader :stuck_out_tongue:

Least was a Vas you don’t have to worry about turning a corner and eating a nade…but you need to worry about stuff like that…or a turret…or a minigun.
