So when will Vaseline be nerfed?

(totu) #1

What is this game balance where snipers can one shot you from any distance and they have zero aim punch when they are being shot and then they bring superior team support with the spotting-sh!t so you can’t even sneak up on them.

Unless you are equipped with someone who has burst rifle or a sniper of your own you can’t do shit against them. So either let me change my merc combo on the fly or introduce flitch into the game. There is no reason a sniper should land shots on me when I’m laying into them with machine gun or minigun

You are complaining about snipers oneshotting you when you present the easiest opportunity to knock you in the dome (on stationary MG, shooting with Rhino minigun beyond clise range)

Vassili is already in a bad spot right now due to jumping spread nerfs, he doesn’t need even more aimpunch to deal with

(totu) #3

Wat? Why would he need to be accurate while jumping? So you can shoot people behind a wall? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard

Literally there is nothing if there was aim punch I wouldn’t get shot constantly by them when I’m shooting them

Im afraid you’re just an awful player. Vassili is easily the most difficult merc to play properly, almost anyone can outshoot him midrange if you manage to catch him(considering equal skill).

The jumping accuracy nerf was obviously necessary and placed him in an already worse spot than he was. The whole concept of a sniper is just frustrating to play against and frankly that’s how it should be - if he’s a really good player you WILL die to him.

Wow, two things.

1st. So I happened to look at your profile to look at what posts got your other lol’s. And it was a discussion from almost exactly one year ago, where you say that snipers are too strong. Which I find amusing, but I am impressed with your commitment.

2nd. You were one of if not the first person to coin the nickname “Vaseline” so mad props to you for that, who knew the person behind the great name hates him so much.

This is a real Signature.

Lmao, so the OP was the reason where Vaseline nickname came from. Have to give you props for that too. But after you using that nickname in literally the same thread from February, almost a year ago, you literally mentioned exactly the same thing in that thread and now in this thread…

Vassili is skillbased you cant just nerf him

(Mr_Hands) #8

just, please dont nerf him, hes underpowered.

Sparks avatar, calling Vas OP. Oh boy.

He’s already garbage since the recent nerf, just 'cause fifty people stack Vas in a pub and bodyshot you to death doesn’t mean he’s in a good place. Usable and effective are two different things, and he’s the former, and not the latter.

Redeye on the other hand, and Sparks, are both superior.

um since there is no vasaline i don’t think he needs to be nerfed lol. but seriously though his guns are under powered as is. i can only use the felix riffle over the others. i like the rapid sniping and all, but id rather the one shot kills, and i hate that i can make more kills with Vasili than other mercs yet my xp is way lower at the end

(Herr_Hanz) #11

as far as i know he already has flinching when shot, i might be wrong. maybe you are talking about scope sway

(Thai-San) #12

Indeed he is flinching when shot. But it’s very little. Every half decent Vassili can still kill you easily while you’re shooting at him.

You can’t shoot people behind a wall/through a wall. This game does not let you shoot through most walls.

Also, a lot of his best and most used loadouts include Focus which reduces the already small amount of Flinch down even further.

If you’re going to be angry at least get your facts right so you know what you’re actually angry about.

(Herr_Hanz) #14

for me vassili most used is unshakable, extra spotter range, and footsteps louder, the felix mp400 class

Reduce his hearbeat sensor range a bit, or increase CD to 30 seconds.

You literally always have a heartbeat sensor up, and it straight up denies flanks, you have to admit that it is a bit too powerful.

(LifeupOmega) #16

Redeye can still do the same though, and has better utility overall. Vas’ only saving grace right now is the heartbeat. :smiley:

There is never only one way to flank. And the Vassili can only throw one HBS at a time so unless there is several vassilis (which is probably an handicap for the other team) you being detected and your flank being totally cancelled is only the result of your bad choice or bad flanking ability.

I wish people would actually play Vassili first before they share their brilliant and totally well-informed opinions on him and how he works.

Moins on en sait, mieux on se porte.

“Vassili is too stronk!”, says the person with a Sparks avatar.

Dingus.
