Overdrive-the best and the worst

[featwasath 267]

Many people don't understand that Mammoth overdrive is the worst. It lasts a very little bit of time and Mammoth is still too slow to make a kill. I've escaped from a lot of Mammoths which were few meters away from me when they activate their overdrives, with my Hornet. It's better if devs make Mammoth faster like a Hunter of same modification when overdrive is active  :rolleyes:

 

People complain that Mammoth overdrive is OP because Mammoths can easily capture Gold Boxes, specially meteorites  :P Since their overdrive is useless for them in most of the time, I think that GB thing is good as they have an advantage at least there  ^_^ I'm not a mammoth player BTW  :P

 

Wasp overdrive is under-powered too. Even titans can escape their bombs. Devs should reduce that countdown time to less than 2 seconds for the bomb to be effective  :ph34r:

For wasp, it depends. At low ranks it's OP because hulls are too slow at m0-m1. At m2 they already can escape it sometimes and m3-m4 almost always can escape it.

Mammoth overall is a sucky hull unless you can drug 24/7 or like being a slow, giant target.

Dictator..... If it's next to an alert Titan.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I'm seeing packs of Dictators at the moment, a lot more than I used to. Usually with Thunder or Vulcan.

 

Three of them on full drugs sharing their overdrives = moving wall of death.

They dominate Pro-battles no-supply, but with OD still active (dictators must be setting up these battles).  I now have to look closely to see if that parameter is enabled / disabled...

Had a battle earlier today where the enemy team had 7 Dictators and 1 Viking.

They need to rename Overdrive to 「STAND」

So the poll seems to suggest that Viking has the best overdrive, and maybe thats true, but I really think they've balanced it quite nicely. It can wreak havoc, but also charges slowly so those moments are few and far between...more like tactical strikes

Titan's is the worst in terms of quality of gameplay. It completely slows down a battle, that only lasts a few minutes. I think all overdrives are okay, but Titan's is by far the worst for fun gameplay.

I love that it slows down gameplay. You can have an attacking force spawn killing and boom...now theres a safe zone for defenders to rally. Or perhaps a Titan sets up its dome around the enemy flag...flag runners can sprint in, grab the flag, and sprint out

I enjoy that, it can be a life saver for a defending team.

It's funny how Dictator does not get much love.

 

It may not be the best personal OD, but in team battles, if one team has at least 1 Dictator and the other does not, team with Dictator is more likely to win.

Overdrives ruined this game even further.

 

Hornet and hunter are the most annoying.

In some way yes. But I like all Ovredrives. I tried all of them.

Mammoth overdrive got nerfed in last update.  Nearly useless at this point.

[Potdindy 866]

So lately, I've seen fewer games ruled by hunters...this might be that playstyle adapted, but more likely the newer version of its overdrive is much more balanced. I still see hornets at the top sometimes, which should be fine as I also see vikings and others, but i also see xp players camping in the back, getting a few kills but not influencing the game much. Seems that the game is quite balanced right now....I've even seen dictators contibuting nicely to their team quite a bit

Not necessary. You still can bulldoze tanks, but not invulnerable anymore. 'Least, you can move faster.

[thijs-p 54]

i think viking needs less damage and more time 

titan should have less protection but not be affected by hunter 

hunter is just to OP to long range and to long time freeze

mammoth is a little bit useless now 

wasp`s bomb detonation time is to long should explode faster

hornet should not do more damage if a tank is standing in a titan`s field just the normal damage 

dictator is useless now 

juggernaut would be better off if the blast radius is at least 2 times better to protect it more against freeze and close range turrets

Dictators can turn a battle now...they speed up the team's OD, saves supplies and boosts score. If you are into helping your teammates then this one is a fun one to have. It is not as "powerful" as the others, but it definitely can swing a match IMO.

Totally agree! Should have read the earlier posts.

Best:
Dictator
Free supplies sounds like it would be OP, but it really isn't. Not only that, you can share the effects (and get points for it too!).

 

Worst:
Viking
"hurhurhurhur it's balanced because it takes a long time to recharge!" Nope. It makes the OP turrets even worse, and don't get me started with Booster.
Turrets like Magnum and LCR Railgun have too high damage for near instantaneous fire. Other turrets like Twins and Ricochet have too many projectiles and too high impact force with the Overdrive.

When playing with viking it is like before the OD, there is no difference. I think Developper want players to use other hull and not only viking.

The best is hunter.

Assumable, since Viking used to be the most used hull for a long time (personally I dont like it). Either way, now we deal with the same issue concerning Hornet
