Remember way back when? A few months ago when Pix nerfed the Aphids? They were a spectacular weapon. Expensive at 1,200Au each, but loaded up and leveled up, they could do some serious damage.
Then Pix nerfed them because everyone complained that they were too strong.
Well now we have Embers, Shocktrains and MkII weapons. Not to mention dash bots, dash bots with shields and flying robots.
I only ask that you unNerf my Aphids. Bring them back to their former selves. Don't nerf the ultrapowerful Bulgasari with three MkII Shocktrains. Nope. Just unNerf my Aphids and I will be super happy. I used to love 'em. I could again.

Your post is quarantined, bud. Not your fault though. Aphids are actually in a good spot right now. They appear to have been secretly buffed. I don't know, but they seem to go over obstacles more effectively, or higher anyways. I see them on Griffins all the time.

They also seem harder to evade in fast bots now, my rog gets nailed all the time.

I don't know, but they seem to go over obstacles more effectively, or higher anyways. I see them on Griffins all the time. Honestly, the silent buff to the Aphids was also a silent buff to the Hydras. While their damage went down 5%, their tracking is FAR too precise. I've had instances where I'd be just outside of an overhang and I'd hear those little 「illegitimate child」s fire. Dash under cover IMMEDIATLY but somehow the little buggers... instead of hitting the obstacle they went over it and BEHIND me, despite having a large roof over my head (moon map) those Hydras always, and I mean always hit me in the back. If I'm already under the roof when they fire, they don't hit and act like normal. But slightly outside of it when they fire and there's no escaping... |

Aphis are well balanced IMO. Hydra's are a bit stupid in degree of targeting they are capable of now. I remember when the buffed them; they called it a "more intelligent flight path" but its more of a genius flight path. The arms industries would do flick-flacks if they could get missiles to do what Hydras do!

Where we can't get our turrets to track an enemy as well as a WWII tank could and target tracking and lock is all but impossible. But at least we have the missiles that can magically fly through sewers to hit you in the 「bum-bum」 and the lasers that defy known physics to ricochet precisely off our teammates to do the same. Oh, and let's not forget we're going to get a new ISIS terror bot soon. Joy to the world!! |

Not to mention the Super Uber Nitrous Oxide System that can propel a several hundred ton robot like it's a drag car. Maybe it's some sort of ground-based burst hyperspace drive. |

The arms industries would do flick-flacks if they could get missiles to do what Hydras do! I've now seen the Hydras do more than the 90 degree flight change. Seriously! I couldn't believe my eyes. A blue was hiding behind a low build. Usually, this is enough to avoid some if not most of the salvo of Hydras. But no. I sat there in stunned silence as the missiles CHANGED direction about 100 - 110 degrees AT THE LAST MOMENT, and it was pow pow pow pow pow pow. All six shots hit. I didn't sit stunned for long. I got the heck out of there! |
