Revive gun insane damage on secondary obj and ev.

(bananers) #1

i was playing with sparks all night and noticed this about her.

Her revive gun does double if not tripple the damage of regular guns to the ev as well as the secondary objectives. This has to be a bug right? If it is when can we expect a fix?

Another question. Is she suppose to be able to revive so much with no drawback whatsoever? She can be solo medic on a team of 8 and top the boards just by revive spam.

She does not help the game at all because when someone sees that you are sparks, no one else will be a medic on your team because her revive gun can do everything paddles can do at a much better rate.

She is a cool design in theory. But I think she needs to be taken out and reworked again.

She is making the game not fun because of this and lots of people are upset with her ability to do so much damage while being able to revive spam and never use one of her other weapons besides revive gun.

All this is from 8 hours of playtime from playing sparks tonight.

Its fine.

She is very weak combat wise; so its actually cool she can help with destroying objectives as well.

Reviving an entire team of 8 is very situational:

  • you can’t keep people topped up at 100% hp
  • you have to have LoS with all 7 teammates
  • you are super squishy and nr1 target for enemies, random nade/sticky bomb and you are dead: with no one to revive you

I find the game A LOT more fun since Sparks, its nice to see mercs that change things around (like Rhino)

Have to agree with Szakalot on this one: if the game is to be successful there has to be a place for players who are not great aimers/shooters. Giving credit to the support roles can help players to have fun even if they don’t have a 15:1 K/D ratio.

I’d argue though that Sparks is probably the most difficult medic to play effectively atm. as you still have to aim well with revive gun to bring people up fast enough. That, plus super squishiness, and she is def. harder to handle than Aura or Sawbonez.

if you deal a lot of damage, against an almost dead character; it can result in instagib. Only noticed it with fully-charged headshot hits, against 20-30% hp characters.
