I complained about the Bolter a long time ago, when I still received serious backlash for it. I am glad changes have finally happened, they were done well, not too little- nor too much. The (Big)Shoota still has to follow tho. But thats it. The weapon has received what it deserved, it's fine now. I don't mind jbregg playing around to maybe create a variant that is more fun but it needs no further adjustments balance-wise. If you want to improve balance at this point, look at the other assets and try to bring them in-line. You misunderstand "average" tho. I strongly doubt the average amount of kills in EC is greater than 10. And only the very best have 30+. I agree that this should look a lot different, based on how 'hard' the game actually is, but it doesn't. On a side-note: melee is in a difficult place. It's pretty much either "don't touch" or "full overhaul".
Ec has one of the lowest skill gap in the history of shooters and you still find it too high , hilarious
Skill gap isnt the issue its the lack of players that dosnt allow an mmr system Unless the entire game is turned into a rock paper scisor simularor the strongs will always have better scores than the weaks
If skill was the problem we'd be seeing 40-70 kill counters on all classes and all weapon builds. But it's not because we're just seeing the problem - and it is a problem - exclusively on the bolter, the only weapon with easily accessible legal exploits. These are the same people who ride whatever band waggon is currently cheesing up the scoreboards, skill need not apply; In relative order of occurance and nerf; It happened with Storm Bolters back in pre Alpha shooting as fast as the Bolter- nerfed It happened with Exterminatus Fusion Pistols somewhere in Closed Alpha - nerfed It happened with MoNurglegerddon somewhere in Closed Alpha- nerfed It happened with Warlock Infinite Embolden Stack for the first 2 weeks post release- nerfed It happened with Hunters Mark with the rate of fire of the Bolter several months post release - nerfed It happened with Sorcerer-Dps-Tank-Healers 2017 - nerfed It happened with KannonGeddon 2018 - nerfed It happened with Plasma Cancer (both the rifle and cannon, closed Alpha and post release in that order)- nerfed It happened with JSRP-Aappocolypse 2017 - nerfed It happened with Abadon's Crutch 2017 - nerfed It happened with Eldar's explosive poo slinging Suicide Orangutan's 2018 - nerfed It happened with Eldar's Lawnmower Cheese 2018 It happened with Hawk over performing fuel regen 2018 - nerfed It happened with FisteyKlaw-slingshot-cheese 2018 - nerfed It happened with Chaos Undevided Necrotic Chainsword 2018 - nerfed And it's been happening with mUhbOlter since it was buffed into the nose bleeds a couple of years ago and has since gone un-checked and only 'tweaked' - never nerfed. It's time for a proppa nerf, the bolter has gone un-checked for far too long. The laws of entropy demand change! In denial? Yes yes I know "but. . . but. . . but. . . Muh Skill?" - get over yourself and wake up to the smell of your own cheese already. lol.
Half of them aren't even exploits and next to none of them is/was used competitvely (or would be used competitively, if there was a competitve scene). Right now, all classes have their role. Ground-melee is lacking a bit but everyone else is viable. Tactical Archetypes are the ones for kill-farming but it's not enough anymore to carry against decent opponents.
that sad you know they can mix armor design to make 30 cosmestics right exp: night lord skull face to chaplain or even change flaming crap face(legion of the damn)
