Lets NERF light armors

[yaji]

Guys, hear me out. General consensus is, new META is to avoid fighting. To use your brain, to be stealth and quick. Thats the way the game should be played, and if you disagree, you are wrong.

But there is one issue with that concept. It's too easy, and it's too easy because: the LIGHT ARMOR. It allows you run away from the enemies. It allows you to run for extended amount of time. Mixed with additional equipment, you can run like forever. Light armors can even HIDE you from the enemies, by reducing spotting distance by 30%. It's just too easy, effortless. And the game is about getting gud. Running away, avoiding fights, hiding - it all should require hard and tediously earned skill. It should require cooperation of whole team, 4 Helldivers, not some lame 3 or less crippled groups. It should require highest and constant levels of concentration. Light armors are robbing you from it. They are robbing you from fun of getting tired, from fun of being mauled to death over and over and over and over and over again. And thats where the fun is!

So, long story short: NERF LIGHT ARMOR.

Light armor has its uses on missions with large maps. Heavy armor has uses on small maps where you can't run.

That's not the new meta... avoiding fights has litterally been a thing since Helldivers 1...>.>
Sorry to destroy your argument in one line. I can see you took the time to write an essay...

Or since TTK is so low with all the armors... except the RNG savior armor

buff heavy armor

Heavy armor doesn't prevent you from using your map and not face check every patrol lol

I use the armor that I think looks best. Which happens to be heavy armor.

More is needed. We shouldn't even be allowed to have armor. Take out weapons too.

If I'm going to play retreat simulator then I want it done properly!

it's honestly kinda cheap and cheating that we start with ammo and guns

we should have to scavenge these out in the world - i mean why else would they be out in the world?
this patch sucks because heavy armors dont just slow you down anymore, but they are providing defense value which is honestly just a noob, unskilled crutch

the sense of pride and accomplishment would be unrivaled if we could also nerf light armor

People are going to hate on that even worse than they are hating on the nerfs lol

Wait, just now people are realizing the way to play this game is to avoid fights?

[Death a Barbar]

I think the greatest issue is that you can just call in stratagems anywhere and from the start.
You should have to set up a radio station and the balls should be like grenades, you can only stock 4 and you start without one. What's the challenge in having everything from the start? I want to WORK for my success, not handed to me.

This.

Also, there is no room to nerf light armor, it's already barely enough to run from enemies, and most things can kill you in 1 hit anyway.

Go ahead and reduce armor values further, it wouldn't even make a difference.

What do you mean, the new meta? Meta isn't an acronym, by the way.

The Meta strategy in the game has always been to minimize fighting as much as possible.

You can run away in heavy armor just fine. All you need is a decoy behind you. Any sentry will do, it will buy you the time to get enough of a gap between you and the enemy for them to lose you.... you could also, of course, bring smoke.

You do realize that you can hide with other armor just as well... just have to keep a little more distance.

If acquiring the skill to play the game is tedious for you, you probably need to change the video game. It might be that this game isn't for you. No video game should ever feel tedious.

You have a strange fetish.
