The only difference this would make is giving FDs more XP to farm. I don't see how this would improve the situation for anyone other than FDs.
It's really impressive the "nerf" thing... Goin nerf thic cuz ppl are too lazy and brainless to set up appropriate countermeasures.
*Gasp* the word "Nerf" and subject matter "Something to do with Eldar" Thread exterminatus imminent, surely. Lets not have a discussion about balance no.
Yeah, or we just nerf the Double Fusion Bomb as part of a medium-scaled overhaul to the entire faction, buffing some assets and nerfing others. Fact is that Eldar AV is not really stronger than for any other faction, there are simply a lot more people doing it, as: -Serpents and Falcons are more fun to drive around as AV-vehicles -We have a dedicated class, not just a loadout -We can have several Lone-wolves when other factions need one, coordinated, squad. -We have to play AV to defend at all. In all fairness, I think your 'solution' might actually work. It would mean the enemy still has to come in waves, which Eldar can deal with defending, but would not end up with this akward moment where there are no tranports left and the fight just stops. Safe for some maps, like Blackbolt and Zedek, this could work. Maggon, for instance, already functions a lot like the attacker had infinite transports. Yet, I dont think this is a solution to any actual problems, at best it would help with the symptoms, at worst it would create more problems. The best possible solution would be to rework the spawning and transport system entirely (potentially along with redeploy). The cheapest possible solution would be to remove the bundle and increase Fusion-gun damage (normalizing vehicle kill times and making Fire-Dragon better at AP to compensate) My personal favourite would be to just buff the Dire Avenger until they are so OP nobody ever plays specialists again, but that would probably go against assymmetrical balance. But really the only possible solution is to make Fire Dragons less obligatory and nerf them out of their niche. Eldar-AV might not be OP, but it still ruins many games, so its the only right move to nerf it, I just want something else in return. Thats the case for quite a few items on Eldar right now: Not OP, but annoying and ruining everyone's fun, unfortunately unavoidable choices to win a game and extremely narrow, OTP field of application.
Or.. Or... OOORR we nerf the REAL super OP thing in this game. the friggin skip launcha.. I mean HOLY CRAP did you hear that noise? Imma confuse.. NERF
Why would you want the Avenger's Duty when you have the Git Prod? Most busted weapon to ever exist in a video game right there.
