What Is Your Opinion About the Current State of Tanki Online?

Viking's OD itself isn't the problem. It kills you 1 time, and at most 2 or 3 tanks. If you're not using driver, you typically get it between 2 and 4 times. So that translates to at most 12 kills, and even then that's on the higher side. Back during the Hornet meta, it wasn't really that noticeable. Now that you have loads of players flocking to one of the most overhyped and overused hulls, obviously it's a lot more noticeable.

With the introduction of big maps and more players in Battles. That begs to differ.

Hmm. Same could be said about Hopper. Buff Hornet and Wasp. 

WOW Like other people are saying! Hornet sucks! PERFECT TIME FOR A BUFF. 

Wasp. This needs a buff. Cringe overdrive. Not going to lie.

Wasp is perfectly balanced compared to hopper OD, and yes, horner does need a buff, in a form of rework.

And that is my exact point. With bigger teams, there are more players. When you have more players, more people using viking, and it's OD is more annoying.

If you were to, for the rest of your life, play matches with only 1 viking, would you still say it's OP? No, of course not. Why? Because you would not die to it more than 4 times, and that'd happen if you got extremely unlucky. Just because something is overused doesn't make it OP. Lots of players at high ranks even have poorly upgraded equipment. Does that make poorly upgraded equipment OP? No, it doesn't.

How is wasp overdrive cringe? please explain i would like to know how this useful overdrive is cringe.

Lays a bomb, so many counters to it. Only works against slow hulls/unattentive.

The fact that its more effective against heavy hulls than light or med hulls. And 3 second timer is too long of time given for enemies to escape.

Bigger maps are worse for Hopper. Can't jump far. Viking. Used anywhere.

Double-edged sword.

There may be more players in the big maps, but you wait quite a while before you even see enemies sometimes in maps like Dusseldorf and Berlin.

Only select modes like Siege would give Viking opportunity to kill many enemies with 1 OD.  And that's assuming there's no active dome at the site.

Which is to say, Viking is overused, and thus you experience it's OD more often than that of Hooper. That's exactly what I am telling you.

Dusseldorf, maybe. 

Lost Temple, Skylark, Massacre? Enemies everywhere.

 

Edit: Another addition to my false play times. I don't play big maps. No one does the objective 75% of the time compared to the normal 50% on Small/Medium Maps.

Do you know why? Three words - the Hornet nerf. Ever since that got nerfed, everyone who loved exploiting that broken mess just transferred shop to Viking. Look where we are now. Do you like it? I don't.

I saw similar number of vikings before hornet got nerfed.  There were always more vikings than any other medium hull.  Partly because a lot of players had it before ODs even came into game (like me) and partly because players like how simple the OD is ... point, press shift, hold spacebar.

IMO most of the players that abandoned hornet switched to hopper.

Also may be true. Meta is Viking and Hopper. 

 

To make Viking have a true "slow charge." Don't have it get any charge from Dictator OD/reduced.

Well it's pretty trivial that if it's overused, you're gonna get OD'ed much more often

Another thing you fail to account for is that not all of the people using it are doing so because of its OD. Like me, I've been using Viking since before it got it's OD because I like the way it drives and I like the way it looks.

I like Hopper for how it looks. I have the XT Skin for it.

Basic English. Can't accuse this if I never mentioned about looks.

Everywhere, but not often together.  The maps are giant and many enemies spread out.  The viking hits shift but will not have that many targets to hit in those 7 seconds.

I'm not saying viking OD is not potent.  It is.  What I am saying is that it does not win games for a team like Hopper does.  One pumped-up Hopper can win a game in CTF/Assault/Rugby.

Once again, I'm talking about Viking and not Hooper. In any case, I'm going to stop debating this because I've got better things to do, and I'm sure you do too.

Dude. 16 vs 16. Turn your turret, snipe them.

I guess short range turrets are the only problems here.

This is partly me.  I had it long before ODs invented.

And I used to like the way it drives.  That is until they swaped it's characteristics with Hunter.  That made me quite upset - they did that for no reason.

Not necessarily.  Lots of cover still in Temple and Skylark.  Massacre is one of the few large maps where you can see many enemies in the 7 seconds.

I 100% agree with that. I miss Hunter's drifts

Truth be told, I think I didn't like the original Viking, but then it grew on me later on (which is when I think they must've swapped it).
