OhDough's recent video is on point.

[War Machine]

OhDough's recent video on YouTube "Why Helldivers 2 feels horrible after new update" sums up my thoughts exactly on the state of the game.

-Player taken headshot dmg needs to be reduced (or at least make armor effect headshot dmg)

-More weapons need to be viable against heavies

-Most modifiers are not fun

-Hunters are rage inducing and frustrating to play against atm

Wait till you try the patch brother.

You can melee hunters to interrupt any combos.

You can dive away from hunter jump, to avoid tongue slow.

Dive can use to dodge the tounge attack now? That should have been the case to begin with

Just consider getting gud. The game was easy, but got even easier with the last update.

Recoiless and EATs can one-shot Chargers now.

Dunno how recent this guy's video is, but it's already aged poorly.

only problem i have is the headshots

if they arent going to give us different armor on helmets then dont have a mechanic that makes the head a weaknes

If you can dive to dodge tongue/jump, then they reduced its tracking because it was some insane tracking before that if you dove to dodge they'd kinda slide turn and still hit you. Lmao

While I do agree on some level with him and some of his points, I think you are missing one key point. The game is meant to be played as a team. Having a "fair challenge" on difficulty 9 as a solo player shouldn't be normal or a standard we aim for and I do agree with the devs on this. You are NOT meant to be able to handle every situation on your own. The devs are clearly looking at ways to make us stick together during missions and stop people from going on their own all the time or even solo Helldive. Those hunters ARE annoying (trust me they almost make me rage at times), specially for me with my usual load out, with a Recoilless AT. But I did also realize they are next to trivial when I stand next to my teammate that runs the Arc Thrower for example.

The devs want to encourage synergy between teammates. Now, have they gone at it the right way? Probably not. But as long as the community will consider that Helldive should be fun as as solo player, nothing will be considered the right way.

Came out rather soon after the patch, his arguments weren't bad ones, and it was relevant at the time of him putting it out there.

the problem is people watching yt videos and the going 'ahh, thats what i think now because dur vidya telled me 2'.
play the game, then youll realise that all this rage, whine and noise is really unnecessary.

[capybaras are cool]

i really dont understand these complaints against hunters. theyre not hard to deal with at all. just dive if theyre close and shoot them.
