I don't really much care about skill, but it really pisses me of when a certain class, like say, assassin ,who takes time to master, gets her *** kicked by a much easier class to handle, like say ,the Tank. Now i'm not saying the tank is overpowered ,neither i'm i saying its a good match up. However, its pretty obvious that the tank is pretty strong in both defense and offense. When really there should be one strength-defense-(Assaults seem to kick tank *** 24/7 though), Or how about the 'support', i say support VERY DAMN loosely because this class should be called, the OFFENDER, sense he has more offensive capabilities then defensive(<--what a support provides). The arch typical support or medic, is a guy that helps, but does not dominate. Its beautifully nice to see freedom of class, but don't step out of line, like how i see a snipers go out of a relatively far place to kill you with an Uzi up-close when he should be out-gunned in that area by pretty much every class(including out-grappled *cough-cough* assassin *cough-cough*)'cause, you know, hes a sniper, not say, "I-wanna-be-whatever-i-want"class(his con should be up-close fighting). Its okay, most snipers KILL with Uzi or with the traps which are "oh so annoying". Last but not least, let me say that i don't think this classes are overpowered, I THINK THAT THEY ARE MISPRONOUNCED , kind of like false advertising.Overall the support is definitely the biggest bastard.
They're not "mispronounced." They're "versatile!" Well, except for the Gunner. And maybe the Assault.
they are versatile. technically, they all hafta be able to kill about equally because of the dominating killing and k/d factor in the game. its not the top objective, but usually the top priority to defeat pros in combat, and score usually reflects this. to have equal scores and kills, they need to have the weapons to kill pros and not just heal turrets. but its kind of like street fighter, you gotta pay attention to matchups. it should be impossible for a shoto to beat rose, but that doesnt mean that a skill gap wouldnt cause it to happen. i have won on all-assassin teams (from the forums) against all tank teams (not from the forums, and forum players know what that generally means about teamwork and skill) and won. but on the street fighter topic, i beat a shoto that had to be quite better than me on SFIV with rose earlier. i wish i coulda recorded it, there was a massive metsu-fireball hurling my way, and when it was point blank and he was following it, i fired a soul fireball that nulled it and then grabbed the follower with a sham-wow (illusion spark) and burned his flesh :lol: coolest, closest match ever.
They're also not meant to be taken literally. If that were the case, the game should only be played on Monday nights
