There are are currently 16 mercs in Dirty Bomb and out of all of them Rhino is probably my least favorite. As an assault class he does what he’s supposed to do: kill people. But Rhino is SO BORING. From what I’ve seen the best way to play Rhino is to camp next to a health station around crucial objective points and spam your minigun. How is that “fast paced”.
I know alot of people like him, but he’s probably gonna be the last merc I ever get if I even get him. Fragger and Nader do just as well if not better than Rhino as assault classes due to their versatility. Once Thunder comes out he’s gonna have the second most health (from what I know of so far) with 160 health, so if I need a damage tank I’ll just play him or Fragger. The concussion grenades can seriously mess up the enemy, so clearing them out with his big ol’ LMG is gonna be much better than running in with a minigun that overheats.
Worst Merc/Least Favorite Merc?
Well yeah. He is boring. His playstyle is boring. He’s the equivalent to the TF2’s Heavy. You just keep that gun revved, you frustrate people with your braindead playstyle, and no one likes you. Slow merc in a fast game and all that.
My favourite mercs are the opposite faster on-your-toes ones. Proxy and Fletcher.
Weakest Merc: Phantom (Even though I main him)
Least favourite: Proxy (Mines are hard to deal with at the top of staircases 
)
Worst: Phantom, mostly because he has no defined role in the game.
Least Favorite: Redeye, smoke blinds your team.
favourite: kira (even though im not sure how viable she is)/bushwanker
least favourite: vasili ( my aim is just too slow for him, he doesent fit my playstyle)
Fav: Phoenix cause of all the moments I feel like a dick self-revivng
Least Fav: none really.
Favourites = Proxy, Aura, Phoenix, Support Sparks (You know, when you use the Rev gun to, you know, Rev people.)
Least = Assault Sparks (Thats a thing. You didn’t want it), Fragger, who isn’t helping with the radioactive clean up at all when he keeps tossing those stinking mini nukes and is just straight up not enjoyable to play with, as or against.

I personally main Fragger (even though the only person I really “main” with is Fletcher, but even then I enjoy switching out with Bushwhacker often. Especially since my Fletcher card doesn’t have the Empire-9 instead of the Tolen. I have the best Bushwhacker in gold). I understand you’re point of not being enjoyable with, as or against but that really depends on the persons playstyle. Fragger is pretty much a must have in most competitive teams (at least from what I’ve seen). If he’s played right, he becomes the ultimate killing machine.
I’m either getting Sparks or Kira next and if I get Sparks I’m probably gonna be both kinds of Sparks. I’ll definitely TRY to be a healer (even though she’s not XD) and definitely be the reviver, however when I get bored I’m gonna go knife only and go knife the crap out of people. Or be the SniParks.
@SpinnerzNQ Yeh I don’t doubt that he is the ultimate killing machine, and that he is necessary in every team in his current state. Those are the reasons I hate him in the first place. Not only that, his playstyle is slow methodical and downright boring, the straight opposite of what Dirty Bomb wants to be, fast, somewhat reckless and actually fun.
My least favorite merc is Fragger. Thrown explosives just aren’t my thing. Fletcher is a close second, but I play him more as a trapper instead.
In my opinion, the weakest merc is Redeye if only because his secondaries are pure garbage when paired with the primaries he gets.
Least fav would be Value Vassili and Redeye. Just annoyed to see any of them when it’s something like 4v4 or so and when you go 6v6+, you get to see more than just one Vassili and even one Redeye in the team can be colossal pain in the bum.
