I think some of "nerf Rokkit" salt marines in this thread never actually tried the Rokkit. They probably think it's ok when you crouch, charge, aim a stationary standing target, fire... and deal zero damage becaue the rocket fell 4 mts away from the enemy. In my experience I kill a target like every 8-9 rockets. But hey, that's OP, it's going to be nerfed. PC instead is ok.
PC has a lot of its own issues that a target never sees; they only see the one time a shot lands correctly. PC shots love to hit tiny terrain protrusions, invisible hitboxes left behind by corpses which make the shot go off in your face, standing too close to a wall making you put up your weapon and stop charging, certain brace points not allowing you to aim below horizontal, having shots go off at weird angles and speeds because the crosshair decides to aim at the wall in front of you even though the shot should be arcing over it, and the extra complication of leading a target which hitscan weapons don't have. But people being hit by it never see all that.
I like the rokkit just the way it is. They recently brought the PC down a bit (half?!?) in damage I think. We shall see if there's a lot of complaints. It's been a long time since I have bothered with the PC to be honest, ever since all of the tears of salt fell I didn't feel like I wanted to be a part of that so I sort of switch over to playing the cheesy ass melee lock type of character.... how is melee lock still a thing!?!
So it dun't killz yah instantly wiff a blast, which iz gud. Honestly, I'd be fine if they just made all the insta-kill weapons insta-down you instead, apart from a few specific instances (The klaws current power attack, for example. It's so incredibly slow that if you are hit by it, you deserve to go flying off, and the power fist too if they actually bring it in line with the klaw). So though you may go down, at least there's an oppourtunity to get back up again, and you can still just pull out a sidearm or some such and dakka dah downed git if yah feel dey really need tah sod off. Though if they did that, I'd like them to make it so you can't hit down guys in melee, and you have to execute them, so if a melee idiot flails his meat cudgels at you, as long as you've got a boy tah krump the git, you can get up fer anuva go, instead of waitin' to reorkify.
Given Apoth Healnades? No. Unless they don't revive downed players anymore, just top them up to keep them from bleeding out. Without that change too, you'd never kill them.
PC always had a weird aim style I remember. That alone made me not want it nerfed too much. Just the over use of it by half to almost all of a team. Well I got my wish in the less use department. Gun isnt terrible but it sure isnt where it used to be.
I gotta say, I never saw this half the team using it outside of Harkus. It simply makes too much of the team susceptible to melee, and there was always a pretty good spread on kills/score which suggested that not all the PC users were effortlessly dominating the match. It always felt incredibly exaggerated by the most vocal detractors. Don't kid yourself. The PC was already nerfed to pretty-badness, and these further nerfs are making it worthless.
