B-B-B-But I thought Barbatos was bad at high level play and that's why you couldn't nerf it! Think about the high level players! E: But no no, I don't want to be mean. They deserve credit for taking about an entire year to notice a problem that people have been loudly shouting at them about since literally the first network test.

Waffleman_ posted:B-B-B-But I thought Barbatos was bad at high level play and that's why you couldn't nerf it! Think about the high level players! Part of why it took so long is that he wasn't an actual problem untill they nerfed Turn A and Marasai. Once that happened he no longer needed to play carefully around them and instead just be at full health before rushing in. The changes will be nice but won't solve the fundamental problem of people simply cannot Shoot-The-Barbra. Astroniomix fucked around with this message at 14:31 on May 29, 2023 |

if barbatos jumpscaring you from around a corner with the sword stun -> mace doesn't kill anymore that's like most of the problem with it gone

i really wish that instead of being based around stuns and kill combos barbatos just did large amounts of damage in melee so fighting it was an actual, like, fight

Barbatos basically needs a rework as he's pretty much total dogshit against competent players if he can't ambush them and TF2 Spy assassinate them. He's really, really wretched in a straight up fight unless he's got ultimate up compared to pretty much the entire rest of the cast. It's also Barb uses a gun a ton in IBO, just start over with him and give him a goddamn gun

ninjewtsu posted:probably something similar to fighting literally any other unit in the game imo, Marasai is a way worse offender in terms of lovely stuns at least a Barbatos has to get up close to stun me and then kill me before I can move. Marasai can do it from across the room I don't think there's any way to make melee-range units both fun to play and fun to play against, though. there aren't enough dashes to really play positioning with them, and they can't afford to take more than a couple of seconds to kill enemies anyway since they're perpetually at risk of being outnumbered and overwhelmed

marasai's combo doesn't kill anymore tho, they have to either whittle you down first, finish you off after knocking you away with the dagger, or pull you into their teammates marasai indeed also sucks rear end for the record

New Suit https://twitter.com/gundamevolution/status/1671519059467202567?t=xZOGjiBcupgA_W8DnlnkLg&s=19 Been playing more recently. Casual games feel breezy and it feels great to get MVPs after sitting out for a few weeks. Dom's mines are fun for messing with flankers and units thinking they can get up close for the kill.

the fact that their last addition was a sniper and their next addition is a melee unit is not encouraging who thought the game needed more of either of those

Anecdotally, matches have felt worse since the addition of dynames. My poor team mates have two functioning braincells and increasing the number of snipers from 2 per match to 4 has been miserable. They need to add some cool shooty suits that encourage people to play the actual game instead of pokey-peaky with the aim of someone who shouldn't even be playing guntank.

Grinding out the weeklies, I am reminded once again that casual match outcomes are basically 100% determined by which team has the better Barbatos. They really need to just completely dumpster that suit. Nobody cares about competitive gundamwatch and its win rate there.

The game is pretty consistently below 1k players so people still playing are largely not likely to dodge lobbies. Doubt this game will be supported past this year though

It is a shame, yeah, because I mostly enjoy it when I play and I think for the most part it's gotten better balance wise (except for not getting rid of barbatos), every suit feels decent, and they've made good changes to the maps and game modes. The monetization/unlocks are still complete dogshit though, barbatos exists, and casual queue still takes a while. Have I mentioned that I hate barbatos?

I stopped playing because battlepass grinding was annoying to deal with (somewhat fixed now) but also there are now 2 snipers and a brand new melee suit in the game and I cannot deal with a point capture mode when half my team is too busy trying to find the farthest sightline possible and refusing to move. The sniper spiral involves some ding-dong forgetting the enemy has/is likely to have a sniper, do nothing to mitigate it, die, and then think the best and only solution is to counter-snipe when they can't aim with Pale Rider, much less a slower rof unit. It just makes it harder and harder to win games and have an enjoyable time.
