Cryogenic weapons buff- another slap in the face

I can kinda understand with Orkans but Exos are premium weapons too and are COMPLETELY outclassed by Glaciers.

Orkan and Pinatas had already been rendered useless, even in their prime the cryo weapons are better, exodus is an interesting one however, its not a cheap weapon to upgrade, and is now replaced... at least they didnt directly nerf it I guess?

Oh wow, the op was only written 18min ago. This has been the situation with rockets for a little while so I thought this post was an old revived thread, lmao

By the way, all the old school rockets still kill, they just don’t insta-kill like before due not only to some nerf but also to the complex mech enhancement system we have now. The key to still using them is called ‘tactical adjustment’.

It is necessary to make more informed decisions about positioning, target assessment, timing of strike, and retreat considerations for reload.

And yes, I’m even talking about their use deep in the heart of Champ League. So sure, in a way they slapped us in the face with nerfing Orkans and Tarans, but if we still like them, and we enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make them work, then we find a way.

In my opinion, in addition to part of the natural order of things as it relates to nerf / buff cycles, the Orkans were nerfed because when put on a Spectre or on a bot that could ambush, the burst damage was devastating--very close to one shoting a bot entirely.  That's not fun on the receiving end.  And since it was splash it was much more forgiving for targeting, unlike Vortexes or other weapons that can cause a heavy punch.
I have 4 MkII Orkans, and I'd love to see them come back, but the nerf wasn't surprising to me at all when it happened.

It was more about the FB post about the buff of cryo weapons taking place that egged me on that's all.

oh believe me, i get it. i used to get really pissed about the bait n switch and nerfing things i worked hard on, but realizing it just is the way it is, i didn’t see much point in getting worked up about that particular thing anymore, and just tried to find ways to adjust.

Exactly....I’ve played when Orkans rocked, have quite a few leveled up, then they are slam nerfed...and the new cyro replaced, so even old timers have to start over again.....

Un-nerf Orkans, and cyros still are awesome, IMO, but not big deal.

I suppose this it the no respect for long term player base thing.........
