Is there some consistency on how/when shields will get rocked back by melee? I can’t fathom it.

I've been doing the Dokki + IQ tag-team Call N' Shoot and it's absolutely phenomenal at clearing roamers, at least on my skill level. Plus you make Pulse's life a living hell all the time, which is a nice bonus.

but seriously the uniforms themselves are basically woodland themed "blood orchid" style black, which is a very minor upgrade in terms of actual effective camo until they let us pick uniforms based on the map location/time

They keep dicking with his loadout every major patch; if I remember right they've touched the Para 3 or 4 times, removed his frags, changed his smoke bolts to actually be opaque, and now have changed the 249 on the test server. He's good on bomb but the lack of breaching tools hampers him quite a bit.

His guns are average to bad. His ability is not that great when there's now so many new operators with good abilities that are both satisfying to use and effective. You can pick him yourself for a few days exclusively and you'll see.

His gadget was always garbage. There is minimal utility but most of the time just shoot enemies with bullets.

3 speed, a claymore I guess. That's it for him.

the most hosed up part is that Buck gets noticeably more cosmetic attention

but in terms of gameplay, crude operators like capitao, cav and sledge are some of the most fun in the game imo even if they aren't the best against the best players

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aAsEZxUxvc

they'll never give cap more arrows because the spam blanketting effect would be op but it'd be cool if they extended the duration of the effects

the recent-ish dps buff was decent which made it feel a lot like he has IQ's 552 now.

though most capitao players i know never really cared because it simply sounds great when you shoot it and is a :krad: FAL. combine that with the pistol and you can relive the glory days of Max Payne 3 TDM in Siege when you breach the admin office of the consulate map

I’ve been playing Lesion a lot recently. Came in handy last night when we played against an entire team of shield recruits.

Just staring down shield guys until they step on my needle and the shield drops. That was my best game I’ve ever had.

I love getting Mira-style kills with Lesion.
You find a good juncture or even just a single corner, place a trap in the middle of the corridor, and lurk like a trap-door spider.
As soon as they trigger your trap you just strafe out of the corner and pre-fire exactly where your trap was. It's a guaranteed kill as long as it's not a shield user or a blackbeard with really good reflexes.

Speaking of which, I'd kill for a spider themed skin for Lesion.

His guns might be mediocre, but the smoke arrow owns. Especially if they have a good Mira. It's immune to Jaeger's ADS too, so you can can easily gently caress up their line of sight and get a plant down real fast. Then deny entry for a good while with the fire arrows. I just wish they'd give him his frags back. It made so much more sense on him than claymore ever will.

On one hand capitao is kinda bad, on the other fire arrow kills are good for shaming the other team so it balances out

The Para is really good if you can control the recoil.

His gadget isn't very good, but having two smoke grenades is handy, and you can sometimes get hilarious time-outs or kills when firebolting the defuser.

Outbreak isn't returning.
Lion was PvE only and they decided to port him to the main game as is without thinking how he would work.
They still want 100 operators.
The team wants to continually fix/upgrade maps and older operators.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
LMAO "I don't like to talk to strangers in my gaming sessions so I made Lion, a guy who gives everybody wallhacks"...what a maroon.

Finka and Lion were both made for the loving Outbreak mode and transposed into the PvP side. That's why they feel so wrong.

Edit: Ok this dude was the gameplay designer on For Honor. For Honor was a loving mess and has bone-deep mechanical problems and utterly falls apart at high levels, this guy should probably not be designing games.

That's really a bit weird, because Lion wasn't all that good in Outbreak to begin with. Playing it, I never really thought "drat, I wonder where all the zombies that are not currently jumping in my face are". It was pretty binary: Either the enemy is already coming at you, at which point you could easily spot them by sight or sound, or they're dormant in which case their position was pretty irrelevant.

What if Lions gadget was a single super-scan type thing. Press the button, everyone gets a red ping marker like they'd been scanned with a drone. Then instead of forcing the attackers to hold still he makes them want to move. Sort of like Dokk + Jackal but not as good as either seperately.

Ooo, I like this. I was thinking it would be better for balance if he had to spot people with his drone, it only worked on who he could see with his drone, but his drone would give live “heartbeat-style” pulses the whole team could see.

I personally would like to see Lion's outlines replaced with a heatmap-style "puddle" on the floor around the op. It'd probably be way more complicated to implement but I like the idea of being able to figure out roughly where to chuck flashbangs/grenades/etc. without completely giving away the enemy's position.
