Fix the stun-locking to death

[Deity]

You shouldn't be able to stun lock someone from full health to nothing without them being able to do anything at all.

it's not against the rules to team up, y'know, the concept of what working as a team is, to target one player. this isn't the game for you if you want honorable 1v1s

try this game instead;
https://store.steampowered.com/app/304390/FOR_HONOR/

its teamwork to work together but the entire team going for one single person is a horrible use of teamwork

i can think of a dozen reasons why it's fine, and im sure you can think of just as many as to why it isn't. you're smart enough big man.

Doesn't work when they keep waiting to blindside you. I've run out of boosts trying to exit combat with an overzealous panther.

While I won't oversell the situation the stun locking in this game is overtuned and could go down by quite a bit. The stun lock reaches a degree where you basically aren't able to do anything anymore, I've watched some streamers, played the game myself, and have friends who all have had the same situation. You can just 'set the controller down' and wait for death because the degree of stunlock ensures you'll die before you can break free.

This isn't good game design. The player should always feel some degree of agency. When you remove it from their hands it's bad.

They should either decrease the overall effect of each stun or have a window of stun invulnerability after being stunned. That way the player still has a chance to engage with the game.

if you remove the cd of boost falcon gonna be a problem man;also which mech do you use? i get that u get killed by panther is annoying but that's their gimmick;punishing ppl who don't regen their boost except mech who lost boost he got hard time killing any mech;falcon new manouver basically make him lose lock on;pinaka make him unable to kill any1,etc.
Hell they gave him a 2nd fuel tank to make the gimmick work(panther got skill to fill up fuel)

If you often get ganged on especially if you're doing objectives, then you're simply unlucky since your team didn't get the memo that this is a team-based game, and they're just bad.

If you get ganged on while not close to any objectives, try to survive long enough for your teammates to progress the objective. you can still be a team player while the enemies gang on you that way- but tbf, it might not be fun taking on such a role.

I've sometimes spent 5+ minutes distracting half or at least 2-3 enemies on Palmbay Harbor, while my teammates (who are grouped together) magically struggle to do anything to the 1-2 of the enemies on our objective.

thats called teamwork

Teamwork is focusing on the entire team not being a ♥♥♥♥♥ ass ♥♥♥♥♥ and ganging up on a single person. Respect the 1v1s learn how to actually fight with honor.

lol false. Holy skill issue.

Imagine this: Your team and the enemy team are in a stalemate. After a few mins, the enemy team catches you lacking, and gank you 4v1. Suddenly, your team is now down a player!

Guess what happens next.

[Nepnep]

Ganging up on someone is a viable team strategy. Teamwork is working together to succeed as a team. Why would you not gang up on that guy who is fighting alone while the rest of the enemy team slack off at god knows where?

FOR HONOR! Is stupid medieval mindset.

If you are THAT mad about getting ganged and still want solo play then pick Tricera. Wait for a payload match. Sit on the moving chair and go dakka.

As a side note, I think Tricera is kind of "too good needs nerf". This coming from the guy who picked this first because HEAVYARMS WOOOOOO!

thatll never happen. people that fight dirty win...ive got first hand experience with it. if im playing healer and they let me live i can gaurantee my team will win the match.

Well healers a different story, but even then they can easily be solo killed its when 3+ people on the opposing team focus kill a single person it just becomes BS

sadly they can't even defend themselves anymore the Pinaka got nerfed so hard it's useless pretty much, even the heals on it got nerfed. It can't do anything but stand there and pray heals work.

Panther does the same if you are light armor. legit got oneshot by him with a full lance charge and one melee hit. (cause everythng ignores armor). fun design

Nah for light armor units you arent supposed to survive much, but as a Tricera I literally got stun locked to death from full health right after respawning which is just dumb af

For trisera, hold the shield to get it to deploy, then you get to block and stun the melee so you can move or blast then.

Skill issue try to press shift next time lmao

you don't just go 1v 6 that's basic logic;also what you mean stun locked tricera can parry melee if you mean the dive attack use the nade launcher to stagger it,any other melee not much problem cause he got tons of melee armor + resist if blue shield active

You can't be stunlocked next question

Guys, you just dodge and youre not stunlocked anymore. "Stun" in this game means you cant attack

You seem to not realize it does exactly that.. I got melee stun locked in my stego against the starting mech... it locked me in a shocking stun animation, I couldn't move or do anything at all. I tried to dodge and break the melee like I normally can and I couldn't break it.. another time, I broke away like 5 times, but couldn't get away.. they just re-engaged me in melee animations and locked me back up, I tried to dodge and weave but their dashes kept going faster than my mecha could move.. I never had issues with melee before this open beta. I played a lot of this game.

A lot of people are complaining about the same thing, and with the heal nerfs, people are upset. You got half the people complaining about melee, and heals, and the others are like it's fine! it's not broken! goes 8 - 0 against everything with a melee focused group trashing everyone with gang of melee crazy... (Saw it been a victim to it)
