I know Fraggers health was already nerfed a while ago. But as far as I understood it, it got nerfed, not because he was too OP but because he was too perfect in his role. This making it almost impossible to make Thunder really viable. Now Thunder being the tanking assault class, should Fragger maybe get a small speed buff to set him better between a pure damage dealer assault like nader and the tank Thunder?
Should Fragger get a small speed buff?

why would get speed buff when fragger already the jack of all trades of assault merc.

Because he was perfectly fine and they only nerfed him for the sake of making room for thunder, taking away a bit of his “tanking ability”. So, they basically nerfed him to buff another merc and pushing him out of the role as tank. Therefore, why not make him a bit more maneuverable in exchange for weakening him in the health department?

Fragger is beast mode.
Explosive mercs do not deserve high health pools by the nature of their ability to destroy /wipe a team with a well timed and placed grenade.
Which is pretty easy when you learn the cook timing.

@BananaSlug Did he really need that nerf. I dont recall there being calls to nerf him, because he needed to be nerfed. For me at least, it was obvious that the nerf only had the purpose to make room for Thunder, because they werent able to balance Thunder so they just made his competitor weaker.
For my taste Fragger was always a bit too slow, but this could be justified by him having the second largest health pool. Now he has the third largest and a dimished one at that. For me the justification is gone for him being so slow.

Maybe a slight speed buff. Idk he is still in a good place. I thibk the real change I want is a slight reduction in his player model and hitbox size.
