Was Kiras Orbital Laser Ninja Nerfed Recently?


(PixelTwitch) #1

I know that Kira is not one the most popular Mercs out their but she was my bea!

I kinda cheated on here for a little while with Aura (my side chick) and when I finally went back to Kira I released that she could not do for me what she used to!

It seems that something has been changed to do with the speed of her laser, the damage of her laser and mechanics around death!

Seems to not move quite as fast, does less damage to players per tick (I can now run over players and not have them instantly gibbed) and I have noticed it seems to just stop still on death and is no longer controllable after death + revive or respawn.

It would be cool to know what was actually done (if anything) because something just feels really off for me right now.

I seemed to get instagibbed with no warning by this thing on a daily basis so no :frowning: It does move fairly slow though but would be imba if you couldn’t outrun it.

In other terms you want to keep a super OP lazer ? Nerfing this lazer is a good thing !

I don’t mind if it was nerfed or not what I want to know is why and by how much and why we was not made aware (if that was the case)

I rarely play her but now that you mention that it indeed seems like it moves slower (or at least it isnt going sanic on us when you target it far away from the laser).

Thank you. I thought I was going insane. I’ve noticed a severe increase of getting splashdamage popups minus the kills when using the laser :frowning:
