RPG needs nerf

[David Fifield]

IT needs a massive increase to self damage so you can't just point it at your feet and kill a light...it also needs a massive damage nerf OR nerf to swap speed because its dumb as ♥♥♥♥ how easy it is to use for a free kill.

its too nerfed atm, using mines instead.

As someone who plays heavy and uses it wtf are you talking about. It's absolutely OP as it's an easy free kill.

The RPG is nearly hitscan with how fast the projectile moves, standing still has absolutely nothing to do with it.

STAND STILL???~!?~! the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing shoots faster than a sniper bullet... I constantly kill lights super far away with it...also lights are literally the up close class....yet a short CD utility makes tehm irrelevant

this has been brought up multiple times throughout all the beta's and nothing was ever done to it. You can't dodge it as a light, the heavy would have to be absolutely terrible aim because if you're anywhere within 5 feet of it in any direction you die, and yes the heavy should kill itself if he shoots a light a foot away from him with it.

THE BIGGEST problem is how fast you can swap to it and insta delete a light by aiming at your feet...

it 100% does.... just shoot the ground within 5 feet of light and the splash damage will kill them.

this is just wrong, I've died plenty of times from full health just from rpg splash damage. You have to be within 5 feet like I said though.

rpg damage is fine imo. In the first place why is a light trying to 1v1 a heavy up front? Play to your class's advantage

[MoeFoe]

I thought it's fine though. Don't tell me the damage is randomised..

bro you can literally shoot them in the back from 15 m and they 180 with rpg and you're dead. The light isn't even a glass canon when the tank character has more hp AND damage...AND utility than the light. The light is just a pubstomp class.

I mostly never 1v1 a heavy unless I know I can win the fight, most of the time when I die to RPG it's when I'm running away or I swing a corner and see a heavy at the end of the hallway and im dead before I can get out of the way. If they are going to leave it one shot to lights (which I think they should) then they need to slow down the projectile speed so you can actually react to it, and users will actually have to lead their shots (battlefield style), and slow down the swap speed, and make it cause damage to the user at close range, all reasonable changes. Currently the RPG is the least skillful weapon in the game.
