I'm totally fine with melee weapons OHK, and dealing more dmg. Playing a slow Lootah, with no option of close range fighting chance, is already a high risk enough. I don't get killed by kannons. Maybe i'm lucky...i don't know. But i really don't. I don't even use the stock KAnnon, when i do, i prefer the Napalm one, It has a more panic effect, and it's easier to bait more kills. For kannons and plasmas, you can literally just roll before the hit, and take no dmg. If you get OHK, while beeing distracted with something else, that's not really the KAnnon's fault.
Fast edit on the "Go fuck yourself" you threw at me. Rude. And I've experienced the old plasma cannon, and I toughed it out. The Kannon isn't make and breaking games. End of story. Nearly 90% of Kannon users will just camp the same spot and not shift positions to keep people guessing, just suppress them and it's useless.
That reaper shot is meant for anti tanks. So, maybe it should lock on like the lascannon? let's go on that road?
You're showing how often you play vs Orks which must not be often. I rarely, IF EVER, see an Ork Kannon shot coming. It's ludicrous to suggest "Just rolling out of the way" legitimizes OHK AOE instant death that can come from across the map when a vast majority of the time players never see or hear the shot coming.
takes 9 seconds to fire two shots and is a 5 shot kill, that's our "anti tank", people wonder why double melta bundles are needed Did I also mention it's the only class that can't take a krak grenade, situational due to the range but slows TTK on vehicles than other factions that much further when the time comes.
Make it do more damage and require a lock on vs vehicles in order to fire, like the lascannon used to be and needs to be now.
If you make it hit scan and reduce charge and cooldown by 1 second, it is the slowest AT focused range weapon for a heavy in the entire game after all in both travel time and charge, along with other problems not in the stats. But people tend to forget that when it comes to their gripes with it after all
IF LSM and CSM factions had the Kannon(like the old PC IMO) you'd see Kannon spam out the ass almost every single match like we used to see Plasma Cannon spam. That's a fact, take it to the bank. Just because we only play vs Orks 1/3 or 1/5 matches on average doesn't mean the OHK's are not prevalent.
