AND I ALSO WANT TO PRESENT AND EXPLAIN THE LOGIC BEHIND A COOL MUST HAVE REAPER
ABILLITY THAT ITS GONA LET THIS MECH TO JOIN THE COMPETITION.
i will start this topic by telling you my oppinion.
reaper is an mobile A class mech.
to me that comes with some pros and some cons
the pros are that you have good mibility and good range.
you can say that you are versital..but that whats A class is all about
but the cons .... i find them to be kinda unfair for the pros you get.
i play reaper as a sniper class and my objective is to poke assist and help the team
get the objective by bringing low health the enemy forcing them to retreat from the objecive
or repear making them sitting ducks.however all that might seem logical to you and you guys think
that this is a good way of using the mech BUT there are problems and man do they su..ck balls.
1)the fact that you have 500 hp makes you go from 100% to 0%hp with just eoc and hellfires
and if you do survive you will be left with10%hp at most! so that force you to stay away from the
objective cause this is where all rocketeers in shiege are at (3 of them every single time!)
you get cloce you die from hellfire spam simple as that.
so im forsed to go in to the supportive role and provide my team with cover fire and all that fuzzy bunny.
2) I see no point in useing the reaper instead of the ss since bouth of them are doing the same job
BUT there are some difrenceses...reaper is an A class. I dont see how you use the mobility and speed of the mech when you standing still shouting from far away.
AND ALSO THE DAMAGE! agen why play reaper when you have ss with his ability that kick peoples butt
i go from 500hp to 105 hp with 2 hits with this ability.YO BRO GET C CLASS HALF LIFE WITH 2 HITS O.O
so as you can tell my point is that reaper is lacking the dps to do the job as effectively ss do.
3)THIS ABILITY...IMPROOVES ACCURACY...REALLY_ YO MA MEN I SEE NO DEFRENSE.
REALLY is that an ability_ you tell me..for me reaper is a mech with no ability.
SO FROM ALL THAT we have a sniper that somehow the idea was to make it a medium to long range
duelist but in the end get destroyed in mater of 3 secs by hellfires detonator eoc heat canon
combo detonator eoc hellfires you die in 1 sec .
LACKS the damage to do some dps that are needed to make c class to leave the objective.
get too close to the enemie die in mater of seconds not a good duelist anyway since the only mech you
beat is infiltrator on 1v1. GET REAL WHO PICKS REAPER OVER SS IF HE IS GOING FOR THE WIN_
HONESTLY ASK YOUR SELF (how aften do i see a reaper and how often do i see an ss)
so with all that ill finaly get to my point.
ill recoment an ability change that in my oppinion is CRUSUAL FOR THE REAPER.
CHANGE THE ABILITY...make it so that you fire 2 times faster with primary and secondary for 4 secs at lvl 25.
TWO TIMES FASTER_ YOU MUST BE JOKING RIGHT_ NO! THINK ABOUT IT.its sounds op but is it_
let me tell you why its balanced. reaper with the slug rifle is the only reaper you see cause everybody can't stand the
rediculus low dps so they go with slug cause atleast it gives you some desent dps BUT NOT ENOUGHT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE
TO DEAL WITH.
1)hard to aim and hit you must lead your shot
2)low rate of fire
3)HEAT!
4)with 200+ping you just can't hit!
so what happens if we double the rate of fire_
1)harder to land consistant shots.
2)HEAT PROBLEMS x2.
3)mad skills needed to use it at its full potential
so if you look it this way you will see that this ability has risks and its hard to use compare to
the ss ability NAME={PRESS F FOR KILL} that takes no skill to use it.
EAVEN IF YOU HIT 2 TIMES FASTER! BECAUSE OF THE SKILLCAP OF THIS ABILITY ITS QUESTIONABLE
IF YOU DO EVEN THE SAME DAMAGE AS AN SS LET ALONE DO MORE ...
this ability fits the reaper as a poke/duelist mech that enables the mech for 4 sec to actually get the dps needed for the kill in a duel or a range shot .
but at the same time have the risk of overheating and the demand of skill that is nesesary for it to be efficient.
AND MOST INPORTANTLY WITH THIS ABILITY THE MECH HAS A ROLE IN THIS GAME
with that ability you can provide your team some desent poke at siege or misile asault.
you can now actualy feel like you help the team and the role you chose to play actualy does work and rewards you.
make the mech worth your time your money your patience for not ragequiting cause you just got oneshoted buy ss or hellfires+eoc AGEN!
cause lets face it whet a rocketeer gets on aa its just too mutch for the team to get close to
let alone that you always have 2-3 of them on aa spaming hellfire misiles and eoc.
cause of that most games on siege i play have 0-3000 score that says something.
