I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death already, but I still hear complaining every now and then in chat.

I personally don't have a problem with people using orbs/extractors, but maybe it can be worked a little better.

 

• The idea-

 

No mech automatically drops a repair orb.

Mechs WITH repair orb internal now drop a repair orb on death (if it hasn't been used).

 

 

• The effects-

 

Battles will be more intense. You'll be on your tows (pun) more often when you know you can't rely on orbs for repair. Maybe this will help out the tech class to get more usage.

 

Equipping a repair orb potentially helps the opposing team, therefore might be frowned upon by your team since dying really won't help your team, even if they get a small orb from it...

 

Someone with a nice k/d ratio can most likely get the best usage out of it which sounds counterintuitive at first,  BUT at the same time they'll  see less orbs to leech from.

 

 

Any thoughts ?

So, Higher mmr players can stomp noobs, and not get orbs unless some one is carrying them, which almost all scrubs ARE atm, with orblord assaults, Proving the skilled players that die less a huge advantage over the noobs getting slaughtered because there are no longer health drops that many of them rely on or they simply are not good enough to kill the pubstars/smurfs and hackers...

 

Tech is already heavily targeted in battle and with zero orbs and the high chance a tech is carrying them... dead on rez...

 

understanding where you were going with this i still have to say....

 

please no

No.

 

Leave orbs, perhaps tweak the absorb rate and amount.

 

Add an anti-repair charge item to counter orbing (and tech heals).

 

...Next people will expect them to explode....  lol

Instead of repair orbs, just have mechs drop a license plate upon death that can be collected by any mech that dealt damage to said dead mech. Like collecting dog tags. Reloaded could even charge MC for custom/designer license plates.
