remove cool perk

(nimbleIsland) #1

I’m tired of cringing when going up on loadouts because of this vapid perk. Remove it from the game.

Unless the perk gives your character a monocle and suave manner of speaking, it’s false advertisement. Who cares about mounted death traps.

Dude cool is stupid good on almost any class, especially phantom and proxy

almost every ace ive gotten in the past four daysish has been on an mg because of cool, MGs are really powerful when you can flank behind enemies to use them and they over heat really fast without it

I think Cool is pretty strong itself, but in general, it’s just too situational compared to most of the other augments.

SplashDamage has also already confirmed in a dev stream (some December one lately I recall?) that they are not removing augments. Instead they want to rework ones that are considered undesireable or blatant useless.

Afaik they stated that due people having paid moneys and having grinded loadouts with certain perks, removing some would make their invested be in vain. If there was even one person out there that bought a loadout solely for Cool, it would affect negatively their experience as you can imagine.

I think Cool could use some love, but lets face it some perks will always be considered lower tier / subpar to others due just lack of versatility. Sometimes situational perks have their great uses, just like @Ballto mentioned.

I think you explained this the best.
Cool is just too situational in comparison to the others which is why it’s looked down upon.
It’s the same thing with Pineapple Juggler, there is not going to be many times where you are given a chance to throw back a nade.

It and Pineapple Juggler need something in addition to what they presently do to offset just how situational they are. Something akin to Guardian Angel’s recent buff would suit them.

Honestly Cool isn’t too bad, I wouldn’t mind if it were changed ever so slightly. Like maybe it reduces damage while on an MG, that’d be nice.

Cool is one of those augments I am completely indifferent about. Very rarely will you ever be in a situation where having it works out since most good players will headshot you instantly on an MG. But sometimes you do find just the right moment where you can run down a whole team with it very quickly which is only possible with cool. So I don’t consider it worthless or hate it but it’s definitely not a top choice.

Yeah and it’s situation ally worse than every other perk. Give it a passive buff at least.

Against good players turrets are free headshots, and it’s dps isn’t much higher than assualt rifles when you learn to aim.
