RHINO Nerf required

Your statement is 100% incorrect. The TTK requires more factors than DPS does. Specifically, it depends on the kind of target and (in many games) where you hit that target.

Your pistol is going to have a drastically different TTK against Rhino than against Aura.

“Damage Per Second”, on the other hand, counts only what is flying through the air, before calculating what defender-specific factors may come into play.

except that TTK is more exact and DPS is more of an average.

Whenever TTK is derived from DPS, it embeds all the same uncertainties and guesses and is no more exact.

If your DPS assumes X% of bullets hit, then your TTK is also assuming X% the damage applies.

I’ve seen a Rhino player get 80 kills in Stopwatch mode…and I only got 27 kills…with Sniper…

I’ve got over 80 kills with both Nader and Aura so far, it’s not Rhino it’s player skill.

I have no problem with Rhino. For me he is the easiest target because he is the slowest. I dislike faster, slim mercs like Aura much more than this Rhino if I play with Sawbonez.

although I dont have Rhino I feel that he can make or break a game, a good Rhino can easily stop an entire team and with support he can shut down the entire game. Ive had instances where it as been all of 2 seconds and I am dead while on the other hand I am in a medium range fire fight in the open with one. I guess what I am trying to say is no matter how angry I get the speed at which I die when turning a corner into a Rhino it doesn’t matter as long as the Rhino on my team knows what he is doing and of course with the help of the rest of the team.

the key difference of rhino compared to other mercs is the low skill floor & ceiling. its very easy to be effective with rhino, even if you dont have aim, game awareness etc.

Against good players though, rhino scales badly as well, and is mostly situational. If a good player has ‘map control’ they can easily pick off any rhino player.

you can expect him to be continuously worse, as people learn how to counter him, and more mercs are released, esp. stoker.

Rhino’s minigun isn’t that good even with the Nitro augument. It’s slow and cannot be used precisely in time you need it, so the enemy can play around it. Of course you have high DPS with if you hit all the shots straight up, which you wont. Also the time to kill Rhino is about the same time that minigun takes to spin up to full speed without Nitro.

Just downloaded DB and have only played it about 30 minutes so far. Was a huge ETQW fan. I bought Rhino as I’m more a defensive player. My question is his primary weapon is a shotgun right now. How do I get the chaingun?

Look on your screen, probably there is a hint?

(Ardez1) #50

Try Pressing 4

My bad, it’s 600 in the head and 300 in the body.

Fixed for you

Just tried Rhino. He is just insane. With Nitro you just have to jump around corners and spin up in the air. Nobody can react fast enough to kill you.

Only been playing a few days, but whenever I see a rhino in the enemy team I just pick vassili and take him out from range. He is so slow with that minigun that it’s really hard not to hit him in the head. Usually the rhino players get tired pretty fast and just switch mercs.
