is there any way to disable the auto-quip prompt (the one that says H: Quip or H: Emote on pc)? kind of annoying when it's the same key that opens the quip wheel to let me select the one i want to say.

map updates look good, assuming it's enough to break the vicious cycle of everyone dropping fragment because that's where all the action is because everyone drops fragment

Map updates good, expect everyone will STILL just drop Fracture no matter what but at least the new POIs are so much more interesting than they were before. New rotation paths help as well.

Was cool to see the Rampage can blow up doors presumably when it's charged. Will make a fun surprise for people who are used to door blocking for an entire firefight.

Still have no idea what the hell Seer's abilities are supposed to do outside that Valk-passive like tag.

Overall I think most of the changes are good but train yard is so tiny that it's useless for anything but rotating now and the two new rotations they added look pretty pointless unless they expanded geyser as well.

I think that will be a good thing re; Train Yard.

That whole area as it is right now is such a joyless endeavour to go anywhere near.

I like the look of all the map changes, to the point where I think maybe Worlds Edge will be good now.

Some Juicy L-star buffs, you no longer feel sad leaving purple attachments behind to hold onto one over a volt, stock change means charge rifle is indirectly buffed to being way more oppressive with less downtime between reloads.

And most importantly, no more quickdraw hopups taking up space.

Love the upgrade changes. Reload speed relying on stocks rather than mags is so obvious its what i assumed was the case when I was first learning the game. Great change. I also like putting sniper stocks on marksman weapons, just to give them a bit more utility.

The Fuse buffs are interesting. I wonder if the tactical change is just to time or if it also doubled damage as well. Either way, this makes getting a stick super rewarding for him. Also the ult buff is hilarious; it makes basically zero sense flavor wise, but gently caress it, Fuse needed a buff.

Seer's Q seems...nutty? Revealing for 8 seconds is a ton, especially when they just bumped Bloodhound's down. Not to mention interrupting heals, which makes him insane for chases. That 'after a delay' might be doing a lot of work for balancing.

Marked for 8 seconds?!? And a healing interrupt, jeezus that sounds oppressive.

From the sounds of things and the gameplay video it's a narrow skillshot kinda ability so it's all or nothing on if it has an effect, compared to Bloodhound's fire and forget reveal-o-dome.

Bloodhound could probably have a bit of a buff that said.

Cruising the information superhighway
That Seer Tactical seems miserable and unfun to be on the receiving end of and I feel it's going to get nerfed halfway through the season unless there's some hidden aspect of it that allows counterplay and isn't immediately obvious from the description. It's yet another nail in the coffin for Phoenix Kits as well, which have always been fairly marginal items and now have a Legend in play that actively shits on them.

Also sick and tired of them dumping hop-ups on the Wingman. It's a boring meta gun for killer players and trash for everybody else. They keep acting like there is some magical combination that will make it popular to the masses. There isn't.

switch it with the alternator in the care package, there's no reason for there to be no heavy two light SMGs when both the RE45 and R301 kind of hybrid fill the role anyway. make the alternator care package good, and give it a mechanic similar to the sentinel except you can spend a shield bat to gain disruptor rounds for X seconds/shots.


CoolCab posted:

put it in the care package with some toned down variant of DR and give me my sweet prowler back please respawn :(

CoolCab posted:

that and make every pistol able to equip quick draw, print it

like these changes, long overdue. i don't think prenerf spitfire is something i'd jump at as a care package weapon but it will have gold mag i guess.

but if they're not going to give the prowler select fire they should give it a semi-auto mode, even for only as long as it can't be automatic. you should never be obliged to use a burst, that makes ammo fucky.
