declined Giving viking mechanics and limits

[pocrettttt 277]

Viking is literally the concepts "Press shift and just fire and KILL EVERYONE THAT YOU WANT"

I think that is not fair and this overdrive is just boring while a lot of viking spawmmers are taking advantage of it

I suggest this:

1-The viking user can only kill at max 4 peoples, after this, the overdrive end

 

2- You cannot shot more than:

Melee turrets: unchanged

30 shots - Medium turrets(except hammer), or the overdrive ends

11 shots - Long turrets and hammer, or the overdrive ends

 

3- Your overdrive stops after receiving stun effect

I can rather get 4 kills with just one shot of blunderbuss. What's the point in calling it an overdrive when you can't really get any good benefit huh?

This doesn't make sense when you already suggest something like the first idea.

Nowadays, you can't shoot when Stun effect is applied on you. This, more or less, already exists.

Agreed Viking's OD is over powered but what you suggest make the overdrive obsolete, very similar to Hornet. Actually what you suggest would only make it more useless than Hornet's OD.

I agree, nerfing the OD completely into the ground isn't the best option. Viking OD is considered the most fatal by many because of its high shoot rate capacity and increased damage per shot during the OD. I believe some rework can be done around those parameters as to introduce the concept of "balance" in the OD, but completely making its uniqueness disappear would not be good for the game.

Funny because his third point of the suggestion was a thing when overdrives were firstly introduced.

Remember Hunter OD? It would stun, EMP you, and even disable your overdrive completely if it was active.

I believe this is already in the game, when you are stunned your OD bar will be getting used up, but you won't be able to do anything with respect to your OD.
