my friends and I agree - Assassin...

is too powerful. we are veteran gamers and can't understand (unless there is some assassin hacks) that this class is way too powerful.
we don't think so much effort should be focused on leveling off the support class - we are beyond words how the Assassin class can run so fast and take so much damage all the time. They tend to come in and kill all our turrents and take so much damage, it's just not right. They should not be able to kill an Assault class in 1 strike. They should be slowed down and have less health or less special attributes to allow them to take so much damage.

I mean, i'm hearing it could be a hack someone is doing. But ever time we play, there are too many instances where the Assassin just rapes a heavily fortified base and takes out too many teammates. It's not skill, it's not balanced right.

I do that ALL the time, it's not a hack. when you see that happening, in the words of the sniper, "Juice. Is. SERVED!!!" :twisted:

Lol, did she go super sayan on your ***?

And how about comments from non assassin crutch holders? Or maybe infinite juice is a real thing?

hold on a MINUTE! are you implying playing an Assassin is easy? LAWL! i play assassin as my main, but when i feel lazy i switch to "easy" mode by playing one of the other classes.
Assassins, when not juiced, have armor weaker then wet tissue paper, have a shuriken launcher that does decent damage, but has an Incredibly slow velocity, is MASSIVELY handicapped even more with the slightest of lag, and has a cloak that is only really useful if your not dashing, moving, getting hurt, attacking, and far away from who ever is looking in your direction, unless the person you're trying to sneak around has got their volume turned down low, they can also be easily alerted by the loud noise the cloak makes.

If you think assassin is overpowered you are retarded. It's the 1 class I don't play, so don't get started.

Aside from avoiding bot/turret attacks, it's best for keeping your red name off the enemy screens while you try to get around someone. Once you're actually behind, you're better off uncloaking as you sneak up on someone, so that they can't hear you

...With juice? Yeah, pretty any class can accomplish that while juiced, that's what juice is for.

I play gunner and tank, the two banes to the assassin class, we're hardely dependent on them.


You do know you can SEE through their cloak right? They have one of the lowest health pools in the game, I think they're only slightly higher than the sniper if anything.

The Assassin has a ton of counters but here's a few to get you started...

Support - Firebase + Hack, Lvl 3 Laser Blazer + Hack, Air Strike

Gunner - Ground Slam, Shooting still works quite well

Assault - Mines, Lvl 3 Grapple (Or most likely Lvl 2 as well)

Tank - Charge + Death Blossom

Sniper - Ice Traps + Flak

Any Class - Grapple, Grapple, Grapple

I main a Support and have been messing around with other classes as of late.

The Assassin (Asn) can get Juice extremely fast by simply killing bots. This means easy base destruction. I think the Asn needs to deal less damage when juiced. No other class can take out every single turret in a base and still have Juice as they leave.

With that said the fact that the Asn can (currently) maintain cloak while grappling makes it a very easy class to play. Cloak, lunge, grapple, and finally recloak will kill any class and no turret will shoot at you. Add in bot kills for juice and TADA, instant base and team death.

All in all the Asn is easy countered unless the player is using every glitch they can.

Might have been me...

I been rolling assassin lately and being extremely destructive and highly abusive to gunners. I also like to grab the annihilator the second its up.

The only way assassins are overpowered right now is because of that stupid super sprint glitch. But that's an exploit that is going to be fixed.

I ran into a super sprinting douche bag that went something like 27/3 against our orgainized team. We couldn't kill her because the guy would run away at the slightest sign of damage or detection. He got kills by simply running around in circles on Grenade until he ran into one of our backs. By the time you see her you're grappled. Shavelice turrets and traps helped reveal her so the guy would run away, that and the match was close, but that assassin didn't deserve any of those kills on us.

Otherwise the Assassin is weaker than you would expect. Snipers and Support are much more bothersome and really push game balance.

Ok. So there has not been any constructive feedback on this.
Only young gamers whose mommies pay their electric bill an can't think of a better explanation than 'retatded' or slap pwned duh. So it would seem the only players left on MNC will be hand jockies that are all playing way so simple ninjas.

How k00l !

Lol do you really think the Assassins kill off Supports? That's ridiculous, I use Assassin's blood to clean my Shotgun. One-two shot kills are too fun.

Why is it that a juiced support character can barely kill one turret with a point blank shot gun blast and the assassin can run through a base and destroy 4 to 6 turrets in one pass? I would not call that a weak character class.

I have seen assassin go 44-5-2 but I have never seen a support character do that.

A team spends tons of $$$ to upgrade the defenses of their base at it can all be destroyed in seconds by a single assassin.

Instead of all this speculation can't Uber track statistics by class and get to the truth of the matter? They certainly track every stat in regards to my character it should be a simple step to extract the data from their servers and get to the truth of the matter instead of listening to all of us complain about particular aspects of each character class we do not like. Instead of just publishing the nerf list how about some statistics to back up the reasons?

Have you looked around the forums yet..?
The Assassins the weakest class at the moment. So yes some of this peoples feedback of your post being 'retatded' is pretty true.

Just go play as a Assassin and try to get a good K then come back and post your results.

You have now lost all credibility as a topic creator and your argument is now invalid. However the Asn is the only class that can single handedly take out all 6 turrets and still run away with Juice left.

I main Support as i have stated above. Most of my games are 20kills or more, with just as many assist and atleast a 3 to 1 K/D. My best game has been 53kills, 48 assist, and only 5 deaths (game i got my first Uber Streak). I have also seen Gunners do just aswell.

The point is that the Asn is the only class in this game that can Juice, kill 6 lvl 3 rocket turrets, and leave the base with Juice to spare. This needs to be looked at.

6? I'd say 1-2 if they're lvl 3. If you want to stop an assassin from killing all just set up your overpowered firebase in the middle of your base or if you're not a support, use a ring-out ability or a grapple to waste her juice time.

Hahaha. No. Some people I swear.

1. They CAN NOT take out all 6 turrets. MAYBE 2.

2. If anything needs to be looked at, it's how incredibly underpowered they are.

3. This thread is a complete joke. You're saying the Assassin is overpowered? If you were a half decent player, you wouldn't be having this issue with Assassins
