Dead turrets

[totallyarmed 57]

I was playing a siege match. Had equipped railgun, trying different augments. I was using incendiary rounds at that time. I shot at this paladin dude and their turret went flying in the air cuz it was a critical hit. The next time I see that tank, it's got 50 protection against railgun.  -_- this happened to me with hammer too. 

Also, vulcan and twins seem to be the worst turrets.

I'd say thunder unless if it has exotic augment equipped. On my main account, I was just barely managing with thunder even though it was fully upgraded at mk7+.

I had an mk3 railgun which also had the large caliber rounds augment. As soon as I upgraded it to just mk7, I immediately noticed that my performance has drastically improved. I could actually compete with legend ranked players now. Now the railgun is fully upgraded to mk7+.

So pretty much from experience, unless you have an exotic augment equipped, I would say thunder absolutely sucks right now.

It doesn't related to the turrets isn't it? It's related to the fact protection is way too effective on hard countering a particular individual.

@Warpriest everyone equipping protection against these does kinda kill the charm doesn't it tho? that's why called it "dead".

@PirateSpider i'm using EMP thunder, Mk7-11. Not bad, works ok. Not too good either.

Yeah that's the problem:

A certain turret is getting too good.

--> Every one start using protection against it.

--> The turret now sucks, because a 50% damage reduction from most of your opponent is massive.

--> People asking for buffs for the turret and some times the Devs do it themselves.

--> Even more people use the corresponding protection. And the cycle repeats.

 

The thing is 50% damage reduction is very effective, too effective for its price and accessibility IMO

@Warpriest Yeah, and people start using it so much like a little baby with his favourite toy that it becomes annoying.
