REDEYE SMOKE

(FreezerDeluxe) #1

Anyone else think Redeye’s smoke needs a buff?

Because if 2 people are in on either team you can see each other which would work, So I’m saying maybe IF you could use the smoke as actual cover!! Shooting through the smoke you can’t see Hit markers OR health bars as that gives away their position. Also i think the smoke should be a way of removing aimiee’s snitch spotting you and being spotted by vassili!

So the NEW redeye smoke can:

Stop you from being spotted / Removes the spotted icon above your head.
Hitmarks are disabled when enemies shoot through
It can stop fire as normal
The only way to spot through smoke on defending or attacking is to have a redeye yourself who can spot them with a new spotted icon to separate them from aimee and vassili, Which COULD possible increase accuracy? like how aimme can have a damage influence?

Id rather they just delete that ability entirely.

its already a double edged ability

if you throw smoke at enemy, your friends cant see the enemy, thus the enemy can regroup and the team can push

nobody but you can see thru the smoke, with the exception of red-eye spotting

100% Much Legit RedEye quote:
“I kill with my gun. I see you with my infrared eye. I smoke my beef jerky with my nades.”

I think you aren’t aware how dangerous RedEye actually is to suggest buffs for him.
While he is hidden behind his smoke you are practically fighting someone invisible who is equipped with powerful weapons capable of blasting your head off within a few shots.

Redeye is ridiculously powerful as is. Gotta disagree with this one entirely. Smoke might be the most frustrating ability in the game 'cause so many people place it poorly and end up hurting their own team more, but a skilled Redeye player who uses smoke tactically is among one of the most difficult kills in the game for me. On second thought, I can’t think of any merc that I have a harder time against.

What you are talking about is basically one of the main methods of counterplay for the smoke and should remain as it is. RedEye is already close from being overpowered due to his incredibly strong weapon choice, ability that prevents enemies from fighting you back and highest hp among recons.

Redeye is already overpowered. His ability is basically a better refractive armor. If anything, it should get nerfed not buffed.

But I’m yet to decide what’s worse: Redeye on the enemy team or Redeye on my team…
(please allow extinguishing friendly smokes as well)
