Marvel Rivals director reflects on hated Helldivers 2 nerfs - 'Players don't like things taken away'
I would LOVE to have Jeff's ult taken away. It's the most infuriating thing I've experienced in a shooter in years. When your game is PVP, sometimes you do have to nerf things man.
It actually baffles me that someone designed that ult. If he could eat one person it's already strong but the fact he can literally CC an entire team for like 10 seconds especially with how overtime works is just plain stupid.
Fuck Jeff. All my homies hate Jeff.
Trust me, players will really like it if you would please nerf Jeff's ultimate and healer self-healing expeditiously.
EDIT: Also the former Hello Neighbor developer was not helping AH balance HD2 properly. Je wasnt taking guns away, he was ripping them.out of your hands and throwing them across the galaxy so you would never think to use them again. They were too heavy handed, there is no way any sensible person can dispute that. Additionally, about making enemies harder, no, that is another thing that AH thought was smart for some reason but was what almost killed the game when like 90% of players left.
As a mantis main there's plenty of times where self healing is just not sufficient at all. All i get is a gaming over time too so remember can easily over power it. And to heal myself I either need to heal or big someone else or big myself which I can only do so often due to to the rate of life orb regen. It is not that hard to kill me if you focus on killing me or separate me from everyone else.
My healer is Adam Warlock and self healing is very much a joke. If the cooldown was about a second shorter on the recharges it’d be fine but as of now i just play magneto or psylocke instead.
Nah, Mantis + Luna or Cloak and Dagger with one prioritizing the other, alternating ults, and 4 damage is basically unstoppable. Maybe self healing wasn't the correct term, but rather healing that healers can do to other healers, but also Jeff's self heal specifically needs a change. He is already basically Ant Man by making his hitbox basically a single pixel, there is no reason he should be un-divable because he can just swim and get his own bubbles.
I myself being a Peni main, am consistently dealing and blocking the most amount of damage in a match, but matches with Mantis + pick any other healer in the way I mentioned are unstoppable, regardless of who my other teammates play. They just heal each other too well. And when both healers are unkillable, 4 damages can stay up almost all the time.
Don’t take something away - make someone else better.
Then you get power-creep. TTK just gets shorter and shorter as everyone gets stronger and the game becomes a twitch shooter to get the first shot in. You have to balance by bringing some things down a notch.
I never understood the "don't nerf things, buff other things!" argument. Power creep is a very real issue and much more tough to deal with than players getting upset briefly.
Here's a better idea: rather than nerfing the few things causing issues, buff literally everything else. That sounds way more convenient!
