Anyone else think an explosive shot sniper shoots a tad fast? I'm being shot? I better run, oh wait I'm already dead.
It's the RoF endorsement. Without it the RoF feels right, with something like Gold/Silver RoF boost it's definitely ridiculous.
Isn't that the whole purpose behind Snipers? To wreck Tanks and push lanes with penetrating splash damage bot-killer rounds?
Personally i dont think explosive rounds should be a sniper upgrade, instead i think penetration bullets would be pretty cool
Penetrative rounds is the first upgrade, is it not? Then Explosive damage on top of that for level 3.
yep does anyon. Know if the final upgrade is penetration AND explosive?? And I use RoF gold, because it allows for easy recovery, bot slaughter, turret destruction and compensates for inaccurate or lazy shots However for a tank it shouldn't be a problem. Not because fast firing explosive shots aren't devastating, but because one shot is easily more than enough to kill you. I rly don't think a nerfing is necessary.
Yes, but only because of the worst map, Steel Peel. Too many snipers sit back and spray rounds into the opposing base; it takes little skill to rack up kills. Having a seventh class that is designed to be a nuisance (Thief: smoke grenades, team radar, and money siphoning/transfer) might correct it.
It takes my Railgun 3 shots to kill a Sniper. during those 3 shots, a sniper will put 4-5 into me or a robot/turret/teammate near me and kill me.
The RoF itself shouldn't be an issue thought. If the sniper is good, he'll have headshotted you anyway. Tank and gunner are my most head shotted class because they're slow and tend to stand still more. As a tank, I wouldn't reccomend attacking a sniper if he's any good, I'd suggest taking cover. Thought ur rail gun can be effective, a sniper still has u beat at range I'm afraid this is why assassins are an option. They are one of if not the best counter for snipers. Another being another sniper. As a tank, either try to sneak round to him, TRY to out shoot him or just avoid him.
You just made my point. If their good a headshot will be easy RoF or not, but with RoF any scrub can just shoot you in the body (On Steel peel there IS no sneaking around).
well if everyone can have the same endorsement and have it have the same effect for every class then its even across the board in my opinion.
Not to be a pedant, but that's because he's the Sniper and you're the Tank. The Sniper is a ranged combat specialist, while the Tank is not. Yes you can hit long range with the Railgun, but in a sniping duel the Sniper should win over the Tank every time. In other words, you're doing it wrong.
Okay, fair point. RoF makes sniping easier for newbier players, as it's much more forgiving. Having said that, I don't think the sniping is THAT easy to just pick up. I kno I definitely had problems hitting and taking down targets at first. Now I have no trouble. Your just best keeping out of his way and leaving it to ur snipers and assassins mate
In other words, I wasn't actually going for him, I was using my jet gun on an Assassin and what's that 4 shots in under 3 seconds hitting me/bots near me killing me. But what I was saying with railguns is, without RoF, I can destroy a Sniper that doesn't go for head shots, so in theory, I am doing everything right.
