Nerf the decrease in slowdown while firing from 30% to like 10-15%. Also, preferably make it so that SprUP is no longer possible.

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

Personally i prefer the idea of making sprinter only apply when not firing. It's a rather elegant solution that doesn't completely eliminate sprUP (it's still a useful combo), but hopefully nerfs it to be tolerable.

Additionally, numerical nerfs oftentimes are stuck inbetween “it's still OP” and “it's now so shit nobody will use it”. I'm not sure which one 10-15% fits into, but ultimately it's subjective. One player will argue it's not a meaningful nerf, whilst the other will say it's now a useless perk.

But yes, we do need to do something about sprUP. The poll i ran in #suggestions was 11-3 in favor of fixing sprUP

how about "make it so that you can't pick under pressure AND sprinter as the combination? I don't believe any nerf to any perk is required

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

Well, i don't hate that idea, but it is weird, right? And potentially quite confusing. You're also gonna have tons of nubs joining discord to complain “why can't i pick these 2 perks?!!!!?!11”

It's like, if this wasn't the only combo that was disallowed, i wouldn't mind this solution, but when it's this only ultra special case, it's a bit weird

But again, as long as sprUP is addressed, i really don't care specifically how

if they would read enough to know what under pressure does, they can read enough to know that THAT combination isn't allowed anymore

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

They'll still be pissed about a “forbidden combo” more than they will be about a sprinter nerf, i think

A nerf was implemented, but perhaps not what we hoped for. Either way we need to wait a couple of weeks to see if it was a worthwhile effort

nerfed to 20%, move to dev said yes?

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

I would rather reserve that tag to suggestions that aren't yet implemented, so that it remains a valuable piece of info telling us "hey, this thing isn't yet in the game, but the dev is planning to add it"
