Overdrive Unit module explained by someone who got into beta quickly before server shut for maintenance: A couple notes from dev stream: You forgot - Avenger damage increased.

But no Leech nerf? Leech is a lot more bearable now that the shotguns have been reworked and Titans chew them up. But if we go by the logic of "played a lot = nerfed, barely played = buff" they're still one of the most played bots in high Champs. The Legend League report for iOS and Android showed that it's the second-most played bot, pretty much neck-and-neck with Ao Jun. I get it though, Ao Jun is a counter to Titans, and we can't have that!I'm ok with this. Even though I run an Ao Jun, it's sole purpose for existing is killing other AJs. Yup, pretty disgusting how determined Pix is to remove skill and replace it with spending. But they ARE a business, not a charity. And like I always point out, in the immortal words of Bill Murray in Meatballs: It just doesn’t matter! Whales will be whales and they keep the lights on. So find your fun where you can.

Just waiting, and waiting, and waiting for all the assumptions. The only thing Pixo has proven in the past - they don't care about feedback, and they nerf anything that gets popular or used in excess preventing money flow for the newest and brightest toys the Sovereign provide.

When players (mostly whales) understand that abusing of the same tactic is the reason why nerfs ocurrs the nerfs will stop. But also Pixonic is to blame for allowing people to run 5 of most powerful items in the game. Or release broken new content from the beginning.

Here's the Ao Jun nerf so many of you wanted. Now you are going to feel safer camping in your titan. Blitz health increase... here we go again, the "buff" that helps more the paying customer that is shooting the blitz. Same old, same old, classic Pixonic.

Ao Jun nerf is good. I understand it’s a titan counter, but they’re in the sky all match long. Hope they don’t nerf avenger into oblivion.

So Overdrive Unit is a buff for Phantoms and Leeches, great. Not hard to see that all the whales and deathclans will instantly put this on their starter bots. A 25% increase in damage is huge. New whale Phantom config will be Last Stand+BB+OU.
Nightingale needs a nerf not a buff. The new Legendary Pilot is turning it into a complete pain. It's basically stealthed almost as much a Loki, except then it drops down on you, unloads 2 Rimes and a Cryo, takes off before you can get it down to Last Stand and then heals enough to prevent you from triggering Last Stand the next time. And it's a lot harder to track when it's above you. A Loki at least stays on the ground so you can find it pretty quickly.

If they nerf Ao Jun and avenger, I'll go to a pure sniper/troll hanger. Unfortunately, this will lead to instant boredom as I like to brawl. Avenger is the last weapon with enough cycle damage to be effective against tanks and titans. Pix is INSANE.
We have bots running around with near invincible shields, huge HP, resistance, and healing. What are we supposed to do? ...use harsh language on maxed titans and tank bots?
After 5 years of enduring this crap, this may be the final straw for me.

I think Ravana is ok, well balanced and usable on every level. Blitz is ok although difficult to use at high levels, it would need a buff. Phantom is ok, the top players no longer use it, they start directly with Leech. Leech is a little op. Ao Jun and Avenger are ok, there are more devastating and precise weapons. Ao Ming with gendarme needs a big nerf, wins games alone, is monotonous, boring.

Ravana is getting a cooldown and HP buff, as per Devstream.
Avenger nerf is 10% increased shot dispersion.

Having fought in the Ao Jun-dominated battlefield without Ao Jun, Phantom, Leech, or Ares, I'm not overly bothered by Ao Mings.
Ao Mings: 1) Don't have auto-aim 2) Don't have Damage-over-Time 3) Can be targeted for return fire 4) Are slow as 「dookie」, so can be easily outmaneuvered 5) Can be countered just fine by an Arthur.
Don't chase the Meta and you won't be crippled when the Meta gets nerfed. It's not like anyone *wasn't* expecting this.

They might do it just to boost sales for the Scourge like weapons.

YES! Finally. I really hope this means the reign of the Ao Jun, Avengers and Phantom are done. I have a Phantom, I just build an Ao Jun, but I don't care receiving a hit as long as they lower in numbers. I'm tired of hiding in the dumpster while the rich kids of the neighborhood play in the street with their expensive toys. ummm the rich kids will always be in the street playing with their expensive toys...one thing gets "nerfed" and the kids move on to the next expensive toy while you are left playing with the nerfed one. . For the life of me I just don’t understand how people don’t get this. It’s ducking crazy!

You might wanna give that a shot if Avengers do in fact get nerfed to oblivion. Also, the Ao Jun nerf was long overdue. It has been dominating for over a year and we all know Pix nerfs everything eventually to clear the way for their new toys.

Unfortunately your advice will fall on many deaf ears who continue to chase the carrot for some unknown crazy reason.

It’s why I stopped spending completely. I would get premium and the pass but haven’t since 2 updates ago. Getting really old.

Fix the spiders, fix the dash animations, fix the jump animations? Maybe? After 2 months? No? What a pathetic company...
And good luck locking anyone down with a shredder or pulsar after this. They might as well remove lockdown from Shredder and Glory.

Those running the cancer bots as counters to AM actually are a much bigger problem than the AMs. Ao Jun, Pantheon, Phantom and Leech have been making the game very difficult to play with non-Ao Jun, non-Pantheon, non-Phantom and non-Leech.

I guess it depends on how quickly they fill the Lock meter. Still, both are solid weapons on their own; lockdown when it happens is an added bonus.

It was hard enough to lock people down with Glory before. And with the nerf it’s constant damage is too slow to actually get a lock. Hence why I ditched my Halo/Glory Merc

I am using T-falcon and now I can't even lock down any enemy as it reloads so slow and the load out is slow too. Best part is the max ammo is insufficient too which makes glory useless now.
