It's been a while since I last revealed my face...
 
 

my face crazy innit

A Older pic of me, from about a year and a bit ago, 
Might post a newer one

Hi you might not know but this is me 

I completely agree with this 
Thanks for all of the advice guys!! @L4K3 @firewater789 @Shoultz262 @TALΩS  So basically what I’m taking away is that EMP could use nerf (I agree, but not right away because it’s keeping energy alive right now), some physical weapons need a nerf, and probably my favourite part, clan wars (and I assume that your statement extended to Titans as well) need buff, and frantics could be looked at as well. Honestly, I don’t believe that frantics currently pose as much of a danger given the nature of good physical builds now, but it could definitely be looked at! 😊 Anyone else have any more ideas?

Okay, so I want honest opinions on this. Not opinions on if you like it, but honest opinions on if this could help make rebalancing the game easier. Okay, here we go:
1. Heat and energy mods could be nerfed
before you immediately disagree, please read through my reasoning. I see lots of people coming at phys and saying that individual items need a nerf, which is true in some cases. However, a simpler solution to finding exactly how much to nerf/buff every item in the game, what if we just increased the effectiveness of heat and energy mechs to a state where they can also be competitive at r1?
 
2. Make phys armour breakers require energy
I find that phys mechs in general rip right through most energy mechs, specifically the current 4.2k meta that runs at least 1 (often times 2) armour breaker. Against en mechs which usually have lower hp, it’s quite hard to compete. 
 
3. Make skill and time more important, not just money spent.
I believe that an easy way to do this would be to increase the amount of buff gained from divining an item. For extremely p2w players, they are able to obtain op items much more easily, and quickly implement them in their own builds and easily outclass players that have played for years, within sometimes a short few months. Fortunately, the greatest difference between these players lies in their divine items. If the divine tier upgrade was boosted to a point where it was more helpful, it would give experienced players an edge, and make it harder for p2w players to compete at top ranks immediately. 
 
4. Buff E+ items
This change would mean that those items you worked hard to upgrade in the early days would no longer be useless. The biggest benefit to this is that we would be able to see much more variation in arena, and make the game more interesting! 
 
 
Okay, I may have oversimplified some of the issues that I roughly addressed here, but I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions on each of these points if possible! The goal isn’t necessarily for my ideas to all be implemented, more to discuss possible solutions to help improve this game that we all love. 
 
Cheers! 🙂

@BossParody thanks for the post !

1)  .....Boss , have on mind that not all the phys players are en-free counters .
Rounder phys have really hard times !!!!! They had , and they still have .
So I think the phys counters solution is somewhere else. 
Perhaps to not exsists on the arena counters ? 
This is my solution ...or rounders or pure en frees  due to arena filter ...this is the easiest balance solution towards me .

2) In case that rounder mechs have better chances through balances I wouldnt say no to make armor brakers to cost energy .
But remmeber ...rounder phys had problem and they still have problem ! so i dont think its really the time to make armor breakers cost en .

3) -

4) I agree ! E items needs buff !!! ....specifically weight reduce , for be able someone to make a counter to counters build . Try to make a rounder /counter ...you will see that you have no chances due to weight .
But definitelly the E torsos needs the hpsn buff that @SawzAll recomended .

 

So you're saying that...it shouldn't be nerfed because it's not used anymore...?
Mate...How do I say this...
If you have a worm eating you from the inside out do you just leave it there because ''it doesn't hurt anymore''?
What the hell.Yes,you do use it on competitive builds.Yes,it is that broken as it has always been against phys and energy.Poor guys losing unfairly to an insta-drainage of 750 a turn by just epic items,as there not all prems in the world could cover for that loss.Insta-drain,insta-loss against poor sods.
Petition to kill both Frantics and EMPs.

EMP isn't even that broken anymore. You don't really see it on competitive builds. Nerfing energy and heat modules would indirectly nerf all elements since all of them depends on the modules. Just nerf some specific physical items and the new dual heat+energy modules that are premium. Regular modules don't need a nerf. Everything else I agree with.
Plus emp is kind of what keeps energy mechs alive in the current meta, although it's not really used that much in competitive builds unlike upc or valiants. I do agree on a nerf to the backfire emp however.

Why not...But still!
It's much easier and more efficient to slightly nerf phys on literally just 1 item rather than buff energy and heat on many more items.
Also,about energy...There's a problem,because items like EMPs are still around.And remember,they are the no.1 unfair shet weapons against phys and heat.{hys and heat can't drain thus are susceptible to insta-draining from EMPs unfairly.If you further nerf EMP too,then yes.Or idk,at least change its functionality because right now,it's only fair to 1 out of 3 types.
Honestly,I have no opinion on this.Never felt like this is an issue,but rather just an extra and it's pretty okay-ish,considering everything else.
Yes,that.
And also Buff the freaking Clan Wars because it's BORING and USELESS.
And also,BUFF the bloody Season Rewards.They are worthless pieces of epic garbage ''rewarded'' after a week full of imbalances and Frantic-shitfests.Literally,there's just no god damn reason to even bother anymore,when a R12 gets  better rewards in a week than a R1 does in 3 months.
Until then,no reason to play until R1.Just 3 wins a day,give or take and that's it,because the reward is still zero.
I'd rathyer rephrafe that to ''Buff underwhelming/OG items to a viable state''.
Like Void and stuff.Literally,they're not viable anymore.They are useless,forgotten and myth food.Don't even get me started on Swoop or Greedy.
 
 
 

I think nerfing mods are a bad idea the reason I don’t run en builds is cause I can’t make good enough stats. I think the most important change needed is to lower the weight of energy weapons 

Ok. This is the most cursed image I’ve ever experienced

Wow gg bro!! Arguably the most helpful mod for the new meta build!! (Sorry I ran outta likes bro)

Currently have sm setup on a projector. I’m gonna lay in bed and grind. (Also, peep the hang board peeking out above the middle of the sheet @VB  and @Malicewolf)

10 mins later...
 

I haven’t seen one of these on our new forum yet, so I thought I’d go ahead and make the first one!
For new members, basically this thread is for posting images that show the game being broken from bugs that weren’t fixed from the TacticSoft era

Once you run energy against a 4K phys mech you wont say that that 17 armour break is a lot my friend 😂

Bro that looks so cool... we need a fourth type that would be such an epic update 

I disagree mainly because energy has already become weak enough. With the current meta build (and variations) being energy free I feel that energy needs more help than ever, and I’d even suggest buffing some energy items to make it competitive like phys again. (I’m not necessarily suggesting buffing vals, I think that they are fine right now)

Reset box didn’t even hate me 🙂
