I use Spear quite often, and while I obviosuly haven't been able to test these changes, I feel like this rebalance completely changes the point of the augment. Before, its sheer maneuverability easily made up for the damage decrease, but now I'm afraid it will simply miss in most use cases. The rocket number buff would be nice, but I'd rather keep the old version.

. Even the teammates that you think are useless still help you by distracting the enemies. It is never really a 100% solo effort in MM.

Especially those who in TDM run to enemy base to die (kill for enemies), get JGR and rush enemy base dying and potentially losing the match, people who are 5 meters from taking and capping and still not doing it...

Patch Update #806 - Released 25th July 2025

 

List of changes:

• The following augments were added to Common and Epic Containers

  • Striker’s “Camper”

  • Ares’ “Grenadier”

• Maximum group size reduced from 3 to 2 players

  • (Note) After analyzing feedback regarding group balancing issues in matchmaking, we observed a significant shift in player behavior. The number of two-player groups now vastly outnumber three-player groups. At the same time, players perceive three-player groups as inherently stronger than two-player ones. We believe this combination has contributed to unstable team balancing. Given the much higher demand for two-player groups, we’ve decided to disable the option to create three-player groups.

• Allowed rank difference between group members increased from 5 to 20

  • (Note) This change is related to the previous one. A large rank gap in two-player groups causes fewer matchmaking issues than in three-player groups. Seeing the high interest in two-player groups, we want to encourage more duo play. We hope we won’t regret this decision. We’ll monitor the situation and your feedback.

Now explain how is this update making anything worse? Legit all changes in here are good?

[Isshiki 24]

No more OP Groups FINALLY!!!

Also Scorpion changes... curious how it turns out! Can't wait to try out after server restart  

 

PS.: @Opex-Rah Can we expect a new Scorpion augment soon?  (or multiple new augments for scorpion ;D)

[The-Operator219 88]

I still have no clue what I'm supposed to do with Scorpion's lock-on. It's too slow/inaccurate to hit a moving target and campers have enough brain cells to rub together to hide under cover so it can't hit them.

It also only hits a tiny area for some reason despite being a giant swarm of explosive munitions. It's such a shame because I think Scorpion is the best looking turret to come out in the past few years, I love the sound of the cannon.

They keep nerfing Spear but Swarm just keeps on getting better. I don't understand the logic here.

Bro we used to be 4. Then 3. Now it's 2? Really?? Like how are we even supposed to play with friends anymore? We're on Discord, vibing, two of us in a match, third guy joins the call all hyped up and wants to hop in, and what do we say? "Nah bro, lobby full"? It literally kills the mood. This whole thing just makes me not want to queue at all, it’s not just about matchmaking balance, they straight up killing the social part of the game, playing with friends is half the fun... I get the logic on paper, but in reality this just feels bad, like emotionally bad, the game is supposed to bring people together, not split them up...

I agree, I also complained for long time tanki should introduce voice chat like it is in csgo, would be so good if teams could coordinate and the game would be more social .

loved this update!
 

 

and ya this one too , i hope this removes the *ultra teaming*- meaning fully loaded buyers vs non buyers

here's a suggestion , i guess it'll help @Opex-Rah, :
1)decrease the Armadillo upgrade prices
2) since this was against rule , so i hope you hear it here , change rankup rewards to crystals - this will provide starter pack for new rank (e.g upgrades ) 
3) make event modes less common, this gonna make goldboxes more rare

Why do u want to decrease price for armadillo?

Its a strong protection and price reflects that, also im maybe in the minority, but i am a player that payed big money to have armadillo at a low rank and how is that fair to player like us ?

Probably the worst change on the current patch notes, 95% of the time you get teamates who dont turn they turret or dont use supplies at all  or the enemy team just camps in they base with anything possible to not let you win and yea thats probably why people keep complaining about Paladin in general since there is not any other chance to win such type of maps when your team is either completely awful or enemy team just camps in they base not even going off it at all. Two people group isnt enough to win against a better enemy team. no matter what map you playing 2 people are just not enough to win against even random people who just camp in they base 24/7 with the most annoying augments and drones in the game. The game just becomes TDM in most cases due to lack of reason for that 95% of people to get off they base and try to win or even care about the game at all.
At this point it would be better the DeathMatch mode to give 15 or 20 score per kill instead of 10 because there is actually no point for Team Modes when people basically play TDM without actually trying to play the main objective of the mode they are playing.

The real issue is not the map design but the balance of augments and turrets

Along with flying skips and the inept MM, "augments" have been the issue since day one.

 

On 7/24/2025 at 4:36 PM, Wry said:

and defender drone should be nerfed so it won't become more OP

Defender is not OP.

This statement holds true because of the multitude of augments that negate it and render it useless. I have it maxed (like many players) and it does nothing to increase your survivability, because of all the OP augments in the game.

Defender is OP.

Quite possibly yes.

If augments were removed from the game then Defender would be a challenging drone to overcome, along with Crisis and Hyperion.

This is were balance and greed collide with each other to maintain the status quo, with greed = OP augments, which = cash, which = the status quo, which = nothing will ever change, which = TO will only get progressively worse as the greed will dominate until the status quo is broken, which = unicorns really do exist.

Not everyone will agree with me, but I think that is a great change. Especially considering the fact that you were able to just group up with two other extreme buyers and win literally every single round, now it shifted in a more fair direction. Keep it up.

This change however... I am not a big fan of it... it removes the uniqueness of Armadillo and Crisis. Same with Hyperion, new players don't even know how to use drones properly, hell not even all "Legend" players know that...

Its a great change in a way you probably don't realize since you are mostly focusing on the fact groups are now smaller. I am more interested in the increase in rank bracket.

Its another step towards making rank not reflect your power but just the way content is introduced into the game.

Control Point and Assault objective amount is legit same as one kill while being way harder? Of course people will just ignore the objective and go for kills, can you blame them?
Juggernaut is okay but really bad compared to what it should be
Siege same, except its harder than Juggernaut in most cases 
CTF and Rugby are only modes where going for objective is somewhat rewarding. I still think they should increase to 100 or 120 Score but it's still okay compared to the rest.

XP is even worse. Basically all objectives are equivalent to one kill.

Can you blame people for ignoring objectives then?

I don't consider Isida to be in its final state, all I can say.

This doesn't mean much. If you can afford to do such a drastical change from one day to another then any turret could "not be in its final state". Tomorrow Thunder could have 1m of splash radius or Shaft could need 10 seconds for a full charge in sniper mode, because why not i guess? It would still have splash/sniper mode though so all good.

so buying the phone you use because you don't know how long it will last. Maybe 1 week before it blows up like Note 7. Maybe 2 to 3 years until battery degradation makes you upgrade because battery will suck. Maybe longer.

With everything being built to fail after few years so you upgrade / buy again, what is the difference?

[Masterpro08 8]

I really can't follow the reasons for buffs and nerfs of turrets or anything else; Sometimes I see that things got nerfed while I don't think its needed; And then you see things got buffed which makes something just overpowered; First it was the addition of that Tesla module and the last time it's the increase of force of the Hammer; I understand it makes the turret stronger, but when you can't defend in any way it just need to be nerfed because it's unbalanced; You would expect that every turret or hull still has a weak point and I don't see that with the hammer, because you get stunned due to the high impact force

[Biome 166]

If the devs really did test out all updates involving the mechanics of hulls/turrets, then I'm very sure that they would get it right 99% of the time when it comes to balancing in MM.

Every player knows (or should by now) that they deliberately nerf/buff the mechanics of everything to make cash, and to try and boost player numbers in the process .

Like tesla's ball lightening range nerf, which makes it completely useless and takes away It's main objective in the game, keeping enemies at bay when defending.

The game as a whole and the vast number of complaints concerning the mechanics is a lost cause.
