Annoying turrets

[HaastEagle64 0]

As a Master Sergeant, I'm not fond of the Shaft. This turret is very, very overpowered, sniping others from afar takes very little to barely any skill to execute, and this does way too much damage. In fact, I and many other people I know, are trying to find certain compositions JUST to counter the shaft! So, AlternativaPlatforms, just PLEASE nerf the shaft!

I'd also like Alternativa to nerf the Ricochet.

Ok... Now isida is no longer a super annoying turret because of the update :) And since all weapons are super weak the most annoying is.... Well.... Um.... I can think of anything.... :(

I heard freeze, fire, thunder, and twins are the new "stay away from me noob" turrets now. Well, twins has always been that way...

Shaft is overpowered at the lower ranks where people don't know how to fight it, but it becomes the hardest turret to use and the weakest at higher ranks.  It's extremely easy to kill shafts, whether you have a freeze, railgun, or ricochet.  You don't really know what you're talking about, wait until you get to at least major and then see how OP shaft is.  It's not overpowered at all.  THe damage is not the much, and it takes a lot of skill to use well.  

 

At the higher ranks, railguns can actually do hit-and-run, as opposed to walking out into the open ground like a sitting duck and then complaining that shaft is OP when they die.  

Shaft is very easy to sneak up on and very easy to hit, as their laser gives them away.  Good railguns will wait until their laser is pointing somewhere else, then peek out and shoot it and then get back undercover before the shaft can turn.  Plus, their rail knocks the shaft's scope off aim.

 

Rico and twins are impossible to fight with shaft if they start hitting you, firebird blinds you, vulcan knocks off your aim, freeze makes you immobile, smoky knocks you off aim, thunder can hit you even when you are not at the angle to hit them...

 

At low-rank gameplay shaft is OP because the medium-long turrets are still figuring out how to aim, and it sure helps to have a scope.

Rico m0 is OP because as I said before, people are still figuring out how to aim, and it doesn't help to have a rico hitting you.  Also, it is unlocked the latest and does the most damage.  I see noobs with fire or freeze attack a rico across a long section of open ground.  NO wonder they think it's OP.  Rico m3 is not OP at all.  Twins destroys Rico at higher ranks, I know it's hard for you to visualize since twins m0 is a joke, but just take my word for it.

1. Shaft. Has to be in scope mode for 1 second to 1 shot viking M3.5. How is this fair?

 

2. Vulcan. Too OP with double damage and can shoot around walls.

 

Everything else is balanced.

Shaft cannot one shot viking.  If your talking about the alteration, it takes more than a second to charge up.

Twins no matter how much you upgrade it, its maximum damage is 10%. I wasted my crystals on upgrades just to get it reduced.... So far Thunder is the strongest gun for me.

Agreed, its basically a long range twins.

Im a Vulcan User (m1), and I admit it is a TROLL of a weapon, especially when they improved it in the new update. I find the Damage has been increased, and changing the "delay" time from about 1.50 to 1.00 seconds, also made it more overpowered. But overall, it is a great weapon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Also it is MLG. Who doesn't think that a giant mini gun turret is MLG? B)

I absolutely HATE Smoky, since I'm a Rail main... it's practically unbeatable, especially when you're taking a chance at a jump shot. You start celebrating, then look back at your screen and realize you got flipped. And kill-less.

[Heles 9,220]

Smoky and Thunder 

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Damn those smokys.

We had a rebalance.

Actually it would be nice

Getting killed by a Shaft is more annoying than being fired at from a Vulcan.

[george_ace 57]

Twins is ridiculously strong and has great impact force (still getting beaten up by Twins M1's with my full M2 combo!).

[Creepernan8820 21]

My top 4 most annoying turrets

 1. Freeze

I find freeze very annoying in all modes because in dm

they ambush you from random places getting 1st-4th 

place and in cp and ctf loads just hang around a cp/flag

Tdm is same as dm.

 

2.Shaft

That's right-The shaft.They always camp in a spot and 

get around the same scores as freeze just u can kill th

em easier.They are especially annoying in capture the 

flag.

 

3.Railgun

I hate railgun cos i see m1-m2s now and they kill my m0 

hornet easy.when they're around I'm always in last place.

 

 

4.Vulcan

The gun of death-That's what I call it.It is way to op with 

drugs or m1 and above.Killing me in m0 24-28 seconds m1 10-15

 

 

So there you go.My top feared turrets in the game

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

with an Hornet M0 are underequipped for your rank.

It makes no use to complain that turrets that outclass you by M-Level (M1 , M2, ..) do anoy you.

Wow..definition of noob right there.  First of all, Vulcan kills you in 24-28 seconds?  That's ridiculously long. You must have typed somthing wrong.  You have m0 hornet so it makes sense that higher-modification rails will easily kill you...you won't have that problem with m4 hornet so it doesn't matter in the long run.  

Okay, don't complain about shaft being OP, because it really isn't, but in my experience low ranks don't know how to fight it effectively. 

And freeze.  If they ambush you from random places like you said, that's a question of the individual player being very skilled or you not being aware of your surroundings.  Keep your distance or stay in a relatively open spot and there is no way a freeze can get to you undetected.  You can kill it before it gets close. 

 

It's an interesting point that you don't get annoyed by hammer.  Using m0 hornet hammer would two-shot or one shot you (on DD).  Don't you think that's a bit OP?

Getting killed by a Shaft is more annoying than being fired at from a Vulcan.

That;s a debate right there.  You should create a new topic for this one only :D
