Give me back my air strikes!

Totally Agreed. It's still incredibly fair using the Support. Admittedly I'd like to see the support earn a slight bit more cash for healing bots and turrets to perhaps give him money for gap shots which is possibly the best ranged weapon in the game !

I'm only talking an increase of gold from 1 every x seconds to 5 every x seconds.

I must agree with what many of you have said. The Juicing needed to be nerfed. I use to juice five times a match. killing every last turret.

But I do find myself wishing I had an airstrike. The assault gets a pretty quick regen on his bombs, and he doesn't have to worry about terrain blocking his bombs.

It doesn't have to be as fast as it use to be, but just a little quicker on the regen so I can take out those gunners trying to kill my turrets.

^^ but bombs don't insta kill if your near it

double edged sword.
you can tag somebody, and they can run under cover.
you can throw one under someone above you, and hit them with little to no warning

I don't think the nerf is that bad. People deff exaggerate when it comes to it. Altho i don't play support every game i play it pretty often, the nerf does not hurt my ability to defend the base nor do i find myself dying because i can't launch one. As previously stated smart players run away from airstrikes and dumb one would die regardless so the only reason to use it is to kill bots surprise players or kill turrets. In general the nerf doesn't really affect my overall ability to play the support, it isn't so bad that i (an avg support) cannot adapt to it.

oops?

The nerf was not small, but it wasn't big enough that it makes the support useless, he is more than capable of doing his job even with the nerf. I do play support and seeing as how you've never played me you can't rlly tell me that i am bsing about doing so.

The assassins are supposed to be able to take down turrets, it's part of their job. It isn't impossible to stop one either. I agree with the assault having to many bombs but that is irrelevant and can be saved for another topic. As previously stated the support is nerfed but still very useable.

Not kissing *** simply stating opinion, just like it's your opinion that it was a bad nerf.

I agree that supports do spam gapshots more than before the nerf, but this isn't a huge issue as they can be destroyed with relative ease.

Same here to some extent,i felt that the nerf was being bashed too harshly. Altho i do agree with some of the points made. people are acting as if the support is 100% useless. Which is false.

I agree with most your points. I actually came back to delete my post because I feel I had a momentary lack of judgement.. I really dont want to get into this debate anymore. I'll just leave it standing that the nerfs (its not just about the airstrike... thats just the icing on the cake and most obvious one) were too much and little was done to compensate them.

I wasn't saying you were BS'ing about Support.. that was directed at some other people.. but also.. one of the reasons I came to remove my post.

Glad you didn't respond all pissy to me because I definitely threw out some flamebait. I'll edit the post out still since you've got it all quoted. Hopefully people don't respond to our posts before reading these last 2.

As far as the class still being usable, it depends on the talent of the people in the Lobby.. you should join in some of the team battles or competition. I can still hold my own (as in 41-31-2 type #s), but I've now got 6 months of experience with it .. regardless of that, its rarely a pleasant experience against real competition. I will definitely agree with you that the class isn't 100% useless. I still use it constantly... so I don't think its totally ruined. Related note, I think the talk about the Gunner being useless is even crazier. However, there is def. a strong argument regarding the support.

Cheers

the airstrikes are fine the way they are...

...one hit kill? and people think the regen time should be decreased???

considering the firebase is pretty powerful too, especially combined with the hack skill. you can't just think of the airstrike skill by itself, you have to think how it works and compared to the other abilities of the class

:roll:
