As I’ve said and will continue to iterate; Speed is armor and damage at the same time, yet wheels have the best perks, stats, grip, and durability with the highest speed even with titans. Combine this with finwhale or jackie attached to weapons and cab and its literally impossible to beat a minmaxed wheel build without having one. I played a bunch of CC the past few days, sitting over 7k points right now. Its nothing but wheels in CC. People have to come to terms with wheels being the biggest singular problem here. Wheels needed buffs to be in line with strafing parts, but the way to do that wasnt with stats, perks, and dura but by giving them full reverse speed and diagonal steering.
They gave us the omni which does just that… and then nerfed the crap out of it because all the whiney kids complained about them being OP, just like they did with hovers. But this is what we all wanted right??? Pff, speed, manoeuvrability and the ability to dodge aren’t allowed!
omnis were a bit overpowered though. with just 4 wheels they could push my heavy build with a build 10 times lighter then mine and i found that to be very unfair. sometimes to omnis would be assholes and just shove people out of the way regardless if they were a light or heavy build. if you ran anymore then 4 omnis then even a build with 20 tons over you couldnt even budge you. i felt that this was a major problem and felt that no build should even be able to do this. omnis had the weight of mount everest inside them and no matter how hard you rammed the damn things you couldnt budge them. ask me how i know.
It’s because the devs cant balance things for crap. Look at the way they handled wedges. Stop small light builds being able to flip tanks… Ok good but now even if you have a big heavy powerful build you can’t even wedge a light build. It’s honestly baffling how incompetent they are.
