the ravana is such a bland, uninspired bot. an egg with legs. gee, add some devil spikes cuz devil spikes are cool! pay that ten year old a 20, sweet design kid!
ok, we got a lazy design, lets give it some magic powers. where's the 10 year old kid that drew this? he's probably got good ideas for magic power... oh, the bot is invincible? genius! give the kid another 20.
well, all the players have one now. we have to come up with something even better that the saudi kids will pay for. I got it! imagine a ravana that can fly and has... 4 weapons! yes! amazing! and we don't even have to pay that kid 20 bucks!

On the other hand ...
Very satisfying to use Transcendence to wait out an OP bots special ability and then charge in for the kill.
Also (if I have a full charge of abilities) I can dash in and cap beacons right under the noses of those annoying late game Ao Mings.
When I'm facing red Ravanas I do find them slightly annoying but as someone here said all you have to do is count to 3 and start blasting.
If that's too complicated for you then just keep firing. They have to come out of Transcendence at some point.

Remember not long ago we were all complaining about how OP Leeches were? Well here we have a great counter, and again we are 「female dog」ing. And like bahogilok says, AJs and those Ares-trains were way worse. |

Well duh ....
Was the 6th player in a 5 vs 6 CDxx 「dookie」 show a few days ago.
CDxx had a full squad.
21 of 30 bots Ravana. 1 Blitz, 2 Nightingale, 4 Loki, 2 Ao Jun ... 3 150 Mings / 2 150 Nodens / 1 150 Arthur ... 2 mings up at 8:45 ish ....
Me in my Lvl 9 Pursuar just laughing at the golden spooge fest I was witnessing.

So...using an OP bot's special ability to wait out an OP bot's special ability is...very satisfying? I dunno. Fight fire with fire maybe? I'm not really a meta chaser. I didn't care for Leech. Ravana appealed to me, for whatever reason. I'm not feeling any Scorpion love so I'm passing on that. I'm interested enough in Hawk that I want to try it. I'm currently producing weapons for him. I still may hate him. |

The Ravana infestation just plain sucks. Agreed. One is slightly annoying. Facing three of them on one beacon is the worst. |

maybe not as OP as previous meta in terms of destruction, but definitely in terms of hogging up the damn map lol. stop dancing on all the beacons 「female dog」es!

When the Ravana appeared on the scene I was like “ here we go again “.
Soon after that I pulled an Ivory Ravana out of a chest.
I put some Mk1 L12 Punisher-T’s on it. Leveled it up to Mk1 L9.
It’s a fun bot to play. As with a few other bots, timing is the key to success.
Especially when doing the dance with a Red Ravana.

I’m not happy with mine at all. Apparently it and Storms need to be upgraded to the gills to be any kind of effective, because I’m finding a lvl 8 with lvl 9 weapons is next to useless. Or maybe it just doesn’t suit my play style. Looking through the garage now for something to replace it, but I don’t have much at the moment with that kind of first-bot-bacon-grabber speed. Might be time to order up a Blitz in the WS when the atomizer is done in about a week. Of course, them ima need four light weps that I don’t currently have .... as someone was asking in another thread about taking detours?  |

Ravana....lazy bot?
Really?
Cause dude, I am really burning those calories pushing that ability button. It is quite the workout.
I think I am offended by this post. Not sure yet. Will get back to you on that. First I got a ton of ability button pushing to do.

At least it isn’t as OP as ao juns or ares in their prime ravana is totally op, especially due to their secret ability, inflict lag. anytime the ravana animation fires, you're lagged for a random 1-5 seconds. aint no counter to that... |

I just wish the game designers actually played more and understood the meta better like they did in the old days. For me as a seasoned player it seems the designers design bots around some "invincible skill" instead of learning basic tactics and improving players skills while still maintaining more game balance.I am all for new gear but I feel it needs to be thought out more and tested more thoroughly then the endless "buff/nerf" cycles we see all the time now.

Hence why top clans are 66%+ Ravana’s now ... try and out ability each other. |

I’ve posed this question before — I’d have a hard time being convinced that the people who dream up this crap actually play the game ... like regular players, not with instant god hangars. I also don’t think they really care about skill and game play, only about what will get people to spend money, with no concern for what negative impacts one can have on the other. As for thoroughly testing, call me a tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, but I also believe they know exactly what they’re doing when they release this stuff as it pertains to my previous paragraph. In that light, there’s only one plausible explanation for the coming Storm nerf, and it’s not that they’re trying to attain game balance — Scorpion sales are sucking and/or Hawk is coming, and the effectiveness of Storm Ravanas is more of a detriment to both than they’re willing to allow. Sorry, I guess 4 years of watching this pattern repeat itself has made me a little jaded.  |

I already have a regular leech I’m not using. Heaven forbid I win a bot I actually need. |

I have seen some decent Blitz pilots in the past, but I *think* that you are failing to kill the ones with old Clive piloting them, who gives Blitz 90% DR. Which is an absolute disgusting amount of damage resistance. I would therefore totally build one if Clive came up in the pilot recruitment thing. |

Not to mention its pilot can add another ability charge and have phase shift on top of it.
It's the ultimate coward setup, you open fire, and when people notice you: "UWAA NO HURTY MEEEE!!!!" and run off like a scaredy cat.

Yeah, I'm finding continual firing weapons like the ones you're using or more controlled burst damage like Goon and Plasma. Get the timing right and you really hurt them bad. Downside of the continual are the reloads. Rockets seem to be the worst. |

Ravana...it really is pathetic how Pix has taken this once GREAT game and turned it into a homogenized, UNINSPIRED circle jerk. Braindead lemmings tripping over themselves to outdo the other, when all they are doing is racing into the fray so they can start mashing down on their magic ability buttons in hopes that they will be the last idiot standing. The opportunity to showcase strategy, tactics, creativity, deft maneuvering, agility, ACTUAL ability to do more with less...all things that attracted me so strongly to this game 4 years ago, have been mostly squeezed out in order to make room for this current 「slow」 version of the game. What a 「fluffernutter」ing bummer. |
