I love how people keep screaming Nerf this Nerf that. Its fucking hilarious mostly cause people don't understand how to fight certain things. As a DeffKannon User let me explain this your Plasma guns are damn near the same as the Kannon so chill the fuck out. Kannons weakness much like a Lascannon its requires a charge up to fire unlike Plasma which can be charged to stupid damage levels, making it a bitch to hit fast moving targets it just so happens you guys seem to stand still or think cover is going to save you from splash damage. It generally sucks as AV not doing enough damage to really making it a dedicated AV weapon its speciality is ANti-infantry wanna know how to combat it? STOP CLUMPING TOGETHER!! Seriously I went on a 12 man kill streak with a good vantage point and an open window and just kept lobbing them in their letting splash damage do the work guess what? You can do that with Plasma to SHOCKER!!! SO chill out relax and go back to your fucking Grav guns gits.
Your kill streak wasn't because you know what you were doing, and they don't. It was because the kannon is straight out OP, and there is NOTHING to counter it. ( NOT ) I have 2 weapons to straight out counter kannons if i don't feel like using the smartz... _ _ _ _Y Bolter _T_ _ _ _ _ Bolter Pop quiz for 5 million dollars.
May i join? i used and fought a lot of kannon deffguns in this game already, so i think (not saying im a badass, but i got some experience in the subject, ok?) i can help with the issue Now to begin with, i do die to kannons when i play chaos or marines, but that happens twice max, now before i continue i want to be clear i dont want to be a dick or anything, is just that i dont see other way of saying this but just ask on this thread for kannon users, you guys that got 40+ kills, did you change spot more than 2 times on that match? no? exactly, NO ONE bothers to kill the kannon guy, thats exactly why he is "OP" as i said before i only die twice because after that i get a mobile class(if you use a devastator/havoc to hunt him he can still pop you if he is good) and hunt him down for free kills, at melee there is 100% no way a kannon guy can defend himself at all so lots of free kills there, after he gets tired (or smart and change spot untill i find him again) he just changes class and boom, got a huge weight out of my teams back Now as a kannon player, yeah im one of those guys that stood still for like i dont know... 8-10 minutes? on the sampe spot and got +40 kills because NO ONE bothered to lob a single shot at me, in fact i remember a match where this guy looked at me twice (aiming down sights) but i got him before he could shoot, on the 3rd time and on he just would not bother with me anymore, not giving a flying fuck i just kept killing him, although that being said i already had some really hard times too, if a smart players gets on your ass just switch class and save yourself the spawn time, as a matter of fact if youre a kannoneer and you dont try to suicide with your target, youre giving your enemy free kills, so THATS WHY you get shot from like 200m away from that tiny window (wich btw have to be calculated with the bullet drop, so it isnt 100% no skill there, just how you can blow ppl up from behind cover if theyre above you, because there is that single pixel where the shell can land) because if we get closer its pretty much death guaranteed from smart players, besides stalker bolters get free kills from you too, if youre braced there is not enough time to react, he will kill you 1st Although all of that being said, i myself think the cannon is a bit....dumb is the word? like yeah we are orks, technically there is enough muscle to rip a marine in half, but reload literally reload a tank cannon in that time still seems a bit ridiculous unless youre a 20m tall ork, then yeah you can load a cannon that fast What i propose for a change for cannons is: - make the reload time longer, between 5-8 seconds. I think this would make the constant stream of explosions be a bit more balanced, would make it feel more like a tank cannon and not a semi auto tank cannon you know? -not being abble to charge shells while moving, this one actually makes 100% sense, if you can stand a cannon recoil you can shoot it moving no problemo, but for a matter of balancing i think you should only be able to charge your shot while standing still, this would emphasize on the mobile artillery that the kannon already is + no more snap shots (wich ppl call me "no skill fucker son of a bitch" quite a bit for, as you have like 0.2 seconds to react because i charged my shell behind cover (that of course, the target is at fairly close range)) In my honest opinion i believe those changes would make the cannon not have so much killing potential (even tho it should... its a kannon ffs) and still would be fun to use If someone have a part that didnt understand or i said something that might have sounded bad please let me know, lets have a civilized discussion and not a trade of "fuck you"s around here ps: i actually like the current plasma cannon for chaos better than kannons, because of the rapid fire that just melts ppl you can defend youself pretty damn nice, not like a kannon that when you see that melee away from the suicide range, you know its game over lol(although i never saw the old plasma cannon)
Clap Clap wow so smart. How about we Nerf the Stalker Bolter which can one shot people when it hits them in the fucking back or three shot people from across the map? No? Then shut up.
Please nerf everyone else weapons that kill me and make sure you update it every time if feel like playing a diffrent faction
