With the Det3, alphas are too powerful. You can get instakilled with a scout, infil, raider, brawler, and rocketeer if you are a scout.

Det3 is pretty strong dealing around 140 damage (almost as much as a TOW/GL), but I don't think the item itself is overpowered. Unfortunately all the CQC mechs are just incredibly bursty and Det3 is just most effective on them. If Alpha striking is becoming a problem instead of an outright damage nerf they could rework it to deal less damage when manually detonated or reduce the blast radius.

Why are you standing still_ You're in a scout, move around.

Either way, welcome to the life of being an A class mech.

i seriously don't think its a problem... u said gettin alpha'd as a scout with less base armor seems right to me. now if u said as a full life brawler/any other b or c mech big issue then but not possible if they all full health.

Because it isn't, Id say flak on scout is op before saying a detonator on any mech is op.

An alpha strike IS.... just like the Infiltrator's sneaky surprise butseks maneuver.  These things are supposed to be there to intentionally throw off the balance in a moment.  Isn't it fun to sometimes pull off a sneaky insta-kill_

I never feel like I'm SO overwhelmed by detonators flying at me... much more concerned with magical rockets stopping in midair and deciding they've made the wrong turn in Albuquerque just to bite me in the rear.

I detest the promotion of alpha strikes in general through use of items; if I wanted to play CoD I would play CoD.

Punishment for playing a Scout! :D

But srsly, alpha strikes will always be there, if it's not the det3, it's the HE charge, if it's not that, it's EMP MKIII.

these forums are meant for constructive feedback stating that an item is too strong vs the lowest hp pool mech in the game accomplishes nothing.

An item shouldnt be balanced or nerfed on its performance vs any ONE or TWO mechs, if you think its too strong in general, than state why its strong and how it should be adjusted.

statements with no follow up are pointless.

Event though I am not really a fan of any sort of direct damage items, I much prefer the HE charge over the Detonator. The detonator is by far the most dominant item "choice", to the point that the word "choice" and "item" seem fairly inappropriate when used in the same sentence. The HE charge is significantly harder to use, it drops over distance, is not remotely detonated, and is an overall skillful item that does not dominate over other item choices the way that the detonator does.

I'd just say that it seems pretty strange to let the SLOOOOOOW detonator hit you in a scout.

Items and damage values were different back then, please stop necroing threads from last year.
