For the love of all that is holy, NERF THE REVOKERS
I love this game and have been playing it for years, but ever since the revoker has been released it has completely destroyed the balance of the game. I'd like to use this thread to garner some support (or argument against) nerfing them or honestly completely removing them from the game altogether and refunding people's credits. Hopefully, the devs will see this and actually make a change.
Here are the main issues I see with them, at least one which should be corrected:
1. Their damage is a complete misrepresentation of how much they actually do. Take the value and multiply it by 3x or more because they go through your mech, do critical damage one or more times per shot, and can hit multiple mechs at once. A weapon that always does critical damage no matter if your back is not turned is not fair.
2. Their rate of fire is almost infinite within 5 meters and can kill ANY mech within 1 second. This, along with the fact that they have no reload, means you can endlessly kill other mechs. Tack on a good mech ability like Eclipse or Surge, and you're pretty much invincible.
3. Since it goes through your mech, it automatically does back damage through your shield as well. A single shot of 2 revokers will take down half my health bar even with a shield which is ridiculous.
4. Oftentimes it seems as if they also go through walls, impassible shields, and around corners. I'm not sure if this is due to lag or the projectile speed, but I have been killed by a revoker where the enemy is completely out of my line of sight (and never was in my line of sight) numerous times.
5. The fact that the projectile still continues to go out and back after the mech has been killed is also a major point of frustration because if they can get one shot off you're likely to die, and if they can get two or three shots off you're almost guaranteed to die (which happens within a couple seconds within 15 meters).
Every time I voice this concern in the game chat, I hear a lot of agreement and other people that say "why don't you just use them yourself", but I've yet to see a single person tell me they don't think they're overpowered. I refuse to use them myself because I would be part of the problem if I did and it's really not that fun to run around killing everyone in 1 hit. I'm almost at the point of giving up hope that it will ever be fixed and uninstalling the game. Literally every match I go into, everyone is using the revokers and it's making the game unbearable that a 3 star revoker can beat out any other fully maxed weapon in the game within 15 meters. Please someone get in contact with the game devs, so they can fix one or more of the issues with this horribly overpowered weapon.
