How? The only reason why vets are balanced is they only have 1 life. Any other setup would just create a huge frustrating gap with new players. In my opinion vets could have more lives, but they should be limited in other ways, like for instance only be available to squad leaders.
Given how most leaders can't find their Q button, stay with their squadmates for banner buffs or even remember to breath, and given there's nothing to stop several players making their own squad just to do that we need something that can't be fucked with so easily. A small clan deployment could easily spin off X squads, go to a rally point and then start kicking ass, with no proper comeback to that. No waypoints? No problem, everyone's got the extra geometry/ particles, they stand out enough to each other.
People would propably purposefully start getting their near-death veterans TK'd if that was the case.
Personally I think allied vets need the same giant glowing "VET HERE" marker that enemies get, only team colored. So that people think twice about downing that person for a frag, or at least be more aware of them.
I recently spawned my Sternguard Vet into a Rhino on... Maggon? yeah, Maggon. Got out and wanted to charge into B. Well, the Rhino behind us wasn't expecting it, so I ended up as Ketchup. Poor driver apologized profusely for killing my Vet, but it clearly wasn't his fault. I thought that was quite funny. Elites may be tough, but in the grand scheme of things, the single spawn per match makes them almost irrelevant to the final outcome as it takes coordination for them to achieve their maximal effect - in which case a coordinated team will likely win because of coordination alone. I get the feeling that some people overrate the impact of elites on gameplay.
This. This is how come they really should just remove the extra bonus armor, keep the extra 400lp (200lp if they feel it's too much), let players only select one class, and let them spawn them like a normal class. They'd just have to rebalance Vet item LP costs, like iron halos and stuff.
I don't get you Ork players that use Rokkits while around teammates.Seeing it alot as of late.Stop it.
