In regards to people wanting the cloaking ability nerfed because it's hard to see
The Finals devs should just instead remove every gun from the game because all they do is shoot people, like the guns are doing their job, why should they be in the game? Or nerf every gun in the game because they're working as intended, right? Just can them all because if it's working as intended it needs to be nerfed, that's like TF2 playing wakening today and saying, I think Spies cloak needs to be more visible because it works the way it's supposed too....

Holy, what a terrible take.

It will get nerfed just like the suppressed pistol did after beta. When 80% of smalls are using the same ability, obviously there's a balance issue there. Either needs nerfed or other abilities need buffed to similar effectiveness.

cloaked players are so loud when they use their ability, its also quite easy to see. Could just be a monitor or settings issue

IMO best way to fix invisible ability is just give it a hard cooldown, maybe like the Charge one from Heavy. Maybe something like 5-10 seconds would be fair. But the going in and out is really annoying.

bro the cloak in tf2 doesn't let you do anything until you uncloak, creating a moment of vulnerability and opportunity for opponents. the cloak in this game lets you shoot someone in the face while invis. that's arguably the entire problem with this game's implementation of the concept.

I think the only way to balance cloak is by making it slightly easier to see when they're right in your face because that's where the main imbalance/problem lies. Or give them more of a light shimmer or something at really close distances or bend light more. Anything other then that would just make them completely useless like they were in the beta. At medium and long distances cloaks are fine as is. One thing that needs to change is dropping cloak when getting hit. Instead of completely dropping and depleting really quickly the cloak should "glitch" and flicker with each hit or damage taken.

I still think the main issue people have with cloak is because it's often just used to get up close and near-instantly kill someone via shotgun or stun+laser beam their head. And if you look at the C4 discussions, it's a similar issue. The issue people have with both is that they are really easy ways to get kills without a lot of realistic counterplay. You are forced to play in these "optimal" ways people tell you to counter them all because your enemy can suddenly get an advantage with the press of a single button. It does feel like getting killed in a cheap way a lot of the time, since a lot of these "solution" only work on paper without any of the chaos going on around you. You can't always expect a light to be behind you and be ready every second of the game and also focus on all the other stuff that's happening.

Cloak is not the problem, the shotgun is.

the real problem is the shotgun. Without shotgun the light class is a high skill cap class that can be amazing in the right hands. With the shotgun it is OP and even sucky players do well while good players are nuts.

i used to be on the "cloak isn't the problem, shotgun is" bandwagon too, until today when I grappled up to a suspended structure that looked clear just to immediately get beamed by 3 lights each appearing in a separate corner of the platform all at once. literally deleted before I even planted my feet on the ground. (none of them had the shotgun). shotgun is still a problem too though, it just exacerbates it.

Calling this satire after such an awful take is not only pathetic but it is sad.
