They don't kill at the same "speed" they can backstab, ouside of that they lose in melee every time. I'd rather people be rewarded for getting a backstab and punishing idiots that have zero awareness outside of their reticle.
You're asking me to pay attention to a stealth silent ultra fast jetpack unit at all times with a locked close zoom 3rd person game? I mean yeah, I could constantly look up being paranoid for Hawks...and then die to the Banshee/Warlock that walked up to my face. Knives and Knuckles should not hit as hard as they do right now. Compensate damage loss with extra Durability is fine with me, but the damage? No.
That's because people are silly. You Backstab once and then plink them with Pistol/Rifle for .25 seconds for the kill as they, predicatably, roll/hop/slow turn around trying to find out what just hit them. Stop trying to fast attack and just SHOOT THEM.
I really cant see the problem with knives and the like doing double damage from a back stab? Do we have to whine about everything?
It takes literally two seconds to check your rear. If you're holding a location, do that every 10-15 secs, and you will never get backstabbed. The other option is to constantly stay mobile, always switching up your brace points. Neither of these things are hard to do, nor do they negatively impact gameplay. So really, the only people getting instakilled are the ones who did nothing to prevent it.
Raptors and JPA's for the longest time were forced into having SCREAMING JUMP PACKS that also, give a giant flashing indicator that screams at you, along with a bunch of other stuff when they jump or swoop or slam at you. Hawks get none of that. I'll be okay with it when you remove my icons saying I'm incoming or add it for the Hawks
Why the hell are we talking about hawks now? Thread is about knives doing triple damage, which is made up bullshit. /thread If we wanna complain about hawks lets just move it to one of the billion nerf eldar threads.
Right here folks, it's not BS. Knives/Knuckles hit harder in the back. It's not a whine when it's literally happening. Maybe read the thread before jumping in with posts.
With the speed and angle that people can attack from, even on foot, that really isnt always possible. Especially if you are already engaged in some way,
