 In case you thought Pixo had scrapped it:
I had a strong feeling we'd be seeing it again. Ao Jun was far too effective as an anti-Titan weapon - no way Pixo was going to let that fly when they made a bot specifically to fight Titans.

Base range is 100 meters. I wonder if leveling it up increases the range.

Has to be upgradable im order to beat ao jun. Can be pit on any slot.... decisions decisions..,, flying ao ming myself and could be usefull as ao ming and Loki can screw u.... already run accelerator, so gues one less abti matter?! Maybe this is a way to nerf ao ming in dng sense lol Lepe out |

Base range is 100 meters. I wonder if leveling it up increases the range. answer appears to be yes. he locks onto a gale at 314m, so i'm gonna guess max range is 350m, b/c that's Jun's max flamethrower range |

A cookie for you if you can guess at which range it maxes out and which current anti-titan bot that coincidentally also operates at its optimum inside said range. |

I'm ready to take on quantum sensor titans with my overdrive avenger jun. The built in flame thrower is reserved for non whale titans.

I'm definitely spending platinum on it when it comes out. I'm not going to bother with the 300 token chests.

The Quantum sensor will be quite the rock/paper/scissor item. It would go in the universal slot that I currently have a plated armor kit occupying for my Tankarthur. If a QS falls in my lap I might give it a whirl but I'm in no rush. |

Bye Loki Bye War Robots See? Dreams do come true eventually Joopiter I am saddened by this. It is the only reason I ran Loki was the sheer joy of trolling Titans. Guess I will swap back my Blitz, Rog or Mender since I love running those guys. |

I'm not giving up either one of my maxed AMR's or PAK's for this. I'd rather be able to take down a full health Ming with 1 round of full magazines. Than worring about Ao Jun's and Loki's.

I'm 「slow」. Explain why this spells the end for Loki? They are usually running around turning beacons outside of 350m from Titans. This seems like a Titan Ao Jun counter to me.

Mostly because Lokis could stand on a beacon while a Ming landed on it and literally be untouchable... in late game scenarios, you could secure the win just by turning beacons in a Loki if they didn't have a good Loki counter on the field and didn't have enough bots to turn the other beacons while you trolled the Ming. |

I had a few games where it was just me in a Loki and a Ming or two at the end and I was able to pull off the win because they couldn't get to the beacons fast enough after I turned them to stem the bleeding points... and I could stand on the beacon and keep them from turning it if it was just one Ming.
That said, I agree with you that the Ao Jun was the target of this Mod.

Probably mostly for Domination matches, the Ming Loki showdown happens quite often actually, usually with really powerful mings that push your fellow blues back far enough that other reds are now away from the spawn. A loki can get behind that enemy line and take beacons from the camping french mings that are keeping your teammates back, forcing them to land. If you are playing strictly BR, then its less of a factor. |

Bye Loki Bye War Robots See? Dreams do come true eventually Joopiter Yeah yeah, I hear ya. I knew it might show up someday, just was hoping not this damn soon! It's a sneaky play by Pix to reduce titan counters and then release the hawk as the solution, but par for the course. Surprisingly the Hawk is brutal against titans. Even the Arthur. I saw a Hawk fly up and fire over an Arthur's shield and nearly kill it in one flight. Although, the Hawk will not be easy to come by for quite some time for many players. That will cost Pix a lot of new players that leave out of frustration. |

This kind of sucks. I use my Loki at the end to troll Mings and/or cap beacons - depending on beacon bar and current blue beacons. I do enjoy running over to a beacon that has the floater in a position they don't see me sneak in at. Then cap the beacon while they are right above it. At times I will sit there and if they notice and drop down I will simply run circles around them. As soon as they look away I blast them with whatever I can and re-cloak. I think only once has someone dropped their Ming to get into a Loki counter.
In a match where we are down, I can grab beacons faster than Titans can overturn them. I run past Arthurs and stay out of blast range where possible. Other times I run past them with RH and ARH to see how far they can throw me. More often than not they fling me in the same direction I am heading. Other times its smack up against a wall. Either way fun as hell. I have enough firepower to take down most bots without Last Stand and half of their health with a couple of re-cloaks. Dump the rockets, PS and then re-cloak (if re-cloak is still cooling). Im sure it is a surprise when I run in circles and they give up and look the other way and get Scorpioned.
Ill still run it until everyone has the QS. Then I will still run but be mindful of the 350mm range. |

Idk I kind of see it as another money grab... "Far too effective" is a relative viewpoint considering it is the ONLY effective Titan counter. All others are just hid and potshot when possible.
Ironic that they nerf the only effective counter on the eve of the release of a bot made to fight Titans... in test server it's main ability weapon DMG output was fairly underwhelming compared to Ao Jun built in.
Titans are end all be all, and a pure profit margin for PIX which, so it makes sense that they would nerf any counters. The Hawk will get the same treatment down the line for sure. The quantum sensor on Titans allows them to fill the gap of many of their weaknesses against many many bot types, making it more and more like Ravanas: very few, if any, weaknesses when fully equipped...
*Shrug*
I won't be using it, but I feel like the chaos of anger will arrive in full force once half or more of bots on the battlefield suddenly have borderline useless abilities and modules.
