There is difference other match has ability time and then refresh time, you  can't re trigger unless both times are over one after another 

So even if you use maxed out legendary cooldown implant you can stunn opponent back to back using surge or any other mech

But hamlock missed that and it can freeze out others back to back locking them completely unable to do anything and that's wrong 

It's not about free to play or paid mech it's about ability which has miss managed 

But why would you spend a whole battle just freezing a mech. It would seem that killing the mech you froze would be the aim?

If you spend the whole battle freezing one ech aren't you also just freezing yourself?

I normally play cpc I myself have never seen such a thing happen, and in fact I have a problem imagining it happening. And if we admit it's common enough to be a problem why has it been nerfed so much? It is max 24, a support mech, so if it's ability is nerfed shouldn't it's  power load  be increased?

In a match of Hanger Showdown, if they get lucky, then lock down one mech the entire time and then it's like 2 vs 1. And I've had it when there is only one of us left on each team where they lock me down until the match is almost over and then kill me.

As a support mech I normally bring it out first, since , in cpc, I have 4 team mates going to take control points, I can freeze, if possible, any enemy mech confronting my team mates so they can reach their goal while also judging the game play. When it comes to the middle game it isn't really powerful enough to wade in, and sometimes I even purposely have it killed so I can bring in a stronger mech with more fire power and hp. I still don't understand the need for the nerf, at least not that large a nerf. Compare it's nerf to revoker's.

So it's being nerfed because of a new game play they introduced. Even so, I don't play hanger Showdown, how do they attack the other player while having to keep the other frozen? As for them purposely just locking you down, that's an arsehole move, I agree, but can't you just leave the match since your loss is foregone, why should I suffer?

And obviously the counter is for your teammate to take out the hemlock.

Another thing they could have done is make it so any shot would start the unfreezing process that way you could shoot your team mate and thaw him out quicker. 

They do have collision detection, so that would be an effective nerf while also adding an interesting dynamic to the game.

It's only one match, so hopefully I can defeat them in the other matches for the win. And I am super competitive so I have to try and pay them back. Sometime it works, sometimes not. lol

And for the record, I have no legendary mechs at all. I'm close, but I need to get about 2k more a-coins to get one and equip them properly. And have enough to get that last tier 6 star to open tier 7.

Well good luck!

Plarium, still awaiting your response. 

Crystaldrew, where are you? Why Hemlock and not surge, or any of the other mechs that turn up in the best hangers? I can tell you Hemlock isn't in them. Surge, nomad, deathwalker, the thing on treads, seeker, and eclipse (maybe), of which one is only a true mech. So why?

Is it like I said crystaldrew, Hemlock, which f2p players can get for credits can stop at least three of these in their tracks?

Four actually. Must really burn their arse.

I can think of the times fondly where surge raced towards me and I managed to shoot off my emp before it hit me. Then we both just sat there, waiting, until I shook it off. I don't always have the power to kill it before it kills me but if not 've weakened it.

They are not nerfing they are just increasing daze refresh time by 4 seconds and that's causing you so much problem think of players who have brought all revokers game can offer with money and getting nurfed there prime wapon 

So you are nerfing it for a senerio that might happen in Hanger Showdown that has 5 battles and it might happen in one of them. Well, I can see how that would be a priority.

That's not true. From ten second to sixteen seconds to reuse the ability. As for revokers, it still will be prime for what it was supposed to be used for, close combat.
