Why is Aura so strong/nearly OP?

(Amerika) #21

Aura is ridiculously easy to counter. A while back you might have had a point when you could drop a healing station and have it instantly heal while also being able to pick up a damaged station, drop it again and it’s full HP. Not anymore though. Aura is pretty easy to deal with. Sure, if you try to do a firefight with her and she has a station down around the corner and she’s strafe shooting you with a shotgun you will lose. Don’t do that. Instead make sure you take out the station or simply leave her. She has to pick the station up to go anywhere and the arm time on it now is so high she’s pretty vulnerable.

Yes, you will die to them. But you die to all classes in this game without exception.

So what to do if you aren’t a merc with any erxplosives and you use an SMG?

Name one.

[quote=“Sniff;24315”]So then wait for a team mate to kill the aura before advancing. Or advance down another route. OR if Aura’s are that big of a problem choose another merc.

You can’t expect to just go head first into every situation and win. Think![/quote]

You kill the station. Then kill the Aura. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes you die. And a lot of times you can just leave them/avoid them since they have to be stationary if they don’t want to be very vulnerable. This is also a team game so you might have to rely on a teammate. You have options.

Aura isn’t OP, getting revived is OP.

Honestly, I can kill an aura with 2 headshots with the Semi-Auto AR. But, it takes 3-4 to kill an aura that’s down.

I don’t think you do damage while someone is rag dolling to the ground. So simply having two auras nearby, there’s no chance that you can finish that player off. They literally have double the 'downed" health and requires twice as many headshots.

10-20 from an auto gun? How the hell are you using it, it takes ~4 on average.

I’m totally new so I don’t really know but it seems like headshots equalizes nearly every situation in this game.

So now that we got that out of the way can we unnerf her healing station again, please?

(steamingChip) #30

Please please please go and aura and take us how “OP” is her. I barely see people play her. Our team lack of medic and everytime i have to do that class. Plus the smg is good for her but she is too weak. I cant take direct hit.

I laughed. A good joke.

Rely on can mean different things. In a pub I rely on a teammate to wander into her area and have her shoot at them while I quickly take out the station then her. In competitive you wouldn’t need to worry about that as you’d have proper team support unless you’re doing ranked with random people. Then do the above again :slight_smile:

Even if they are a meatshield having 2 people advance on 1 person gives you quite an advantage.
