They nerfed Maxes into the ground because people complained that there was no counterplay (there was)

And they added pocket orbitals because theres a lot of good, intuitive counterplay to that

[burnouttx]

yep... They got swatted with the nerf bat. Apparently, someone got killed by one of them and they cried loud enough. Bad enough Max suits are the lightning rods to call forth C4 faires alot.

The MAX nerfs were caused by the coordinated efforts of a few very good players abusing MAX for months straight. Going on 50-200 kill streaks nightly and getting revived when they went down.

They actually weren't very happy with this MAX "nerf" sure it harms the ability of zerglings to hold W in a MAX and die repeatedly before getting rezzed which is nice, but it doesn't stop good players from going on massive kill streaks and being functionally unkillable.

Im aware. Ive been here since 2012 and have an ASP 100 character on every faction.

Ive gone on 100+ killstreaks in Lightnings and pretty sure as infantry if I can find my old Photobucket pictures. Anything in the game can be abused. I get taking ressing away but the logic doesnt fit, especially with nerfing AA, adding pocket orbies, and buffing Libs. If good players are coordinating and wrecking face, welp thats part of the game. We're bufing other things they use and nerfing the counter play to it. So again, the logic doesnt work here.

What they could have done is met half way with Planetside 1. STAND STILL TO REVIVE MAX. If you move or get damaged it stops

[draenorec]

It's so boring to watch how medics walk around the bedridden MAX, pointing their Medical Applicator. They don’t know that this is no longer possible.........

ive played this game off and on for years, never really got super into it, but most of the time I did play I mained max suits, they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the fact they nerfed them last year or whenever reinforces the fact that I will never touch this game again

Most people already stand still to rezz people.

Maxes have 2k hp and takes less dmg from small arms, and you could revive them, and the NC ones could 1 ONK you. So now tell me in you view, how or why they were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?
I see on the daliy everyone saying there maxes are ♥♥♥♥, even befor the nerf.

There were also alerts making them free to pull, and you can use boosters to faster recharge nanites, so you can spam them.

Heavy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ got mad when new players were able to actually fight back against them using MAX units. Nerfed to maintain the gatekeeping attitude alive

New players aren't using MAXs to "fight back", they get farmed BY MAXs

Thats true, when ever i meet a new player and i farm them, they pull a max and get farmed still and then log off.
