Did Pixonic Just Save The Ophion...? NEW Rebalance Changes - Rook Is DONE | War Robots

[@Ihavekidsinmybasememt]

The current meta is dead, thank god I’ve been saving and buying old good bots since I’m never touching meta bits after this meta ends

[@sebastianreisinger9960]

Idk, wouldn't say the ocho/ophion are weaker than some older robots that are the "f2p meta". They were just so hopelessly overpowered that even after taking so many nerfs they start performing as you would expect.

[@alejandropeca7515]

Absolutely the same here. I chased after meta twice, twice they robbed me by making my high spending worthless. Now I understand what I still see so many Ravanas, Demeter's, etc. beautiful cool bots to have a bit of fun in a sweet game like WRs. Those chasing the meta every two months have to be wealthy ppl. No way adults will over spend in an online game like it is here required. Literally thousands of dollars/euros every 8 weeks or so. It's crazy.

Can't wait for a single phase shift to counter the good old Ophion ability. It used to be very difficult to not take damage from a flying Ophion, but after these nerfs.. Yeah it's gonna be fair and square. No more flying serpents that kill you with one ability.

[@terra2805]

They've rendered Ophions built in guns, that were originally meant for attacking Titans, uselesss. They do next to no damage now and that combined with the range nerf to 350m means they will be useless for the job they were intended for. I still don't think we will see half as many in champion league after this. Not being run by veteran players anyway. Cestus family of weapons have also been rendered utterly useless which I don't understand at all because they were barely used as it is apart from on Ophion. I have a ton of those weapons and I never levelled up one of them because they weren't strong enough for me and that's before the nerf!! It's pretty clear that they've decided to kill Rook too. R.I.P.

[@jordanisbad]

Rook was pretty annoying to deal with, glad they nerfed him. And as for the cestus and others, I think the damage nerf should be reverted or even buff it more than before, and they should make it so cestus , labrys and ksiphos should the full the blast charge up faster because it's too slow.

Hey Predator, I think you should try out stealth bots (especially Orochi and Lynx) with the reworked Kestrel drone. Since it now restores 5% grey damage on stealth. I think it might work very well with stealth bots.

ophion is useless now cuz the weapons have 20% chance to miss , shorter range of built-in machineguns , flight duration -3 sec now . So if you really want to invest , put your money in Fenrir , Behemoth , Skyros , Hawk , Demeter . etc .Cuz they'll never got nerfed.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

With that change of Ophion, the durability, speed, and built-in weapon dispersion got buffed, while the built-in weapon range, flight duration, flight acceleration, and absorber damage bonus for built-in weapon got nerfed. It seems that Ophion's Clear Sky ability got nerfed which is very surprising.

[@r.r-r_r-r.r_r-r_r.]

Don’t forget guys ophion only has a 11 secs cooldown with boosters. So it has 5 secs of flight and 9-10 secs of absorber shield. So people are delusional if they think ophion is dead and the 350 Biw range isn’t that big of a deal it will still be fast in the air with pilot skills

[@legendaryderpgod4391]

i think its not the replacement of the rook's shields that needs the nerf BUT the pilot because without the pilot your opponents have a 6-7 second opening to deal nearly 1m dmg with weapons that can do that in 1 second (basically everything getting nerfed) but it just makes it 10x worse because sure your fulgurs do less damage BUT they have more time to deal their insane damage before you get the shields back..

[@jezbezzer4277]

Yes way overpowered the healing and it's turrets 😊

[@HELL自然界]

Well since tonans and fulgur are getting nerfed rook wouldn't be dead, most likely luchador will become superior to the rook but nothing more since they just nerfed the shield replacement time, surpresion (which didn't really mattered that much, at least for me), and the grey damage reduction, durability remaining the same, although because of that i'm saying that luchador will be superior to him (maybe only a little), but that's not entirely true since we have the pilot that reduces the shield replacement duration with 3 second resulting in 7 seconds of shields inactivity ( 1 sec longer than the current rook without the pilot which is 6 sec). But also the fact that the Newton meta is 90% dead we will see other titans such as aether,minos,murometz, indra, etc appear more and more since they will no longer get instantly destroyed from a single tonans/fulgur salvo, which will affect rook position into a possible titan ranking, since for example when meta stuff gets nerfed titans/robots such as indra/ravana and minos (for example) gets stronger. So realising that i wrote to much 😅, i hope i made myself clear😁

[@ii_dynasty]

The suppression and grey damage reduction also received a nerf for rook. A shot from Newton would also still hurt Titans, just not as often.

[@HELL自然界]

@@ii_dynasty technically yeah, fulgur/tonans could still kill titans relatively easily but they also received the 12 seconds reload nerf, because of that and the fact that they are completely useless against normal bots now since they received a massive damage nerf, and let's not forget that Newton also has thet built in extra damage against titans so if you were to use them on the rook for example you will barely kill enemies titans, if I'm right you could still 1 shot a murometz hp level titan but that's only if you have a max damage built (4 onslaught reactors, pilot skills)

[@HELL自然界]

@@ii_dynasty i may have not specified it but almost no one's gonna wait 12 seconds just to fire a few shots at a titan, and since there are so many rooks good luck breaking trough shields now

[@ii_dynasty]

@mihai5210 reapers at 12 seconds were pretty good. I honestly don't think 12 seconds on Newton is crazy. The damage nerf really only affects normal robots as for titans damage, i would've only Ioss around 4k damage.

[@HELL自然界]

@@ii_dynasty i forgot about the reapers😅, but let me tell you something: at least reaper is able to do damage against titans and bots, unlike the nerfed fulgur/tonans which in my opinion, if they perform just like you said, they're gonna be good only against titans, personally i wouldn't wait the entire time wasting my time just to shot at a titan. Although considering how many people invested in them they will surely don't disappear immediately but just the fact that you'll damage only the titans will greatly reduce the weapons usability

[@r.r-r_r-r.r_r-r_r.]

The only problems with the ophion was it’s ridiculous 12 or 11 seconds cooldown and speed. So why not just make the cooldown 20 seconds and make the acceleration in flight 160% instead of 220% And keep everything else the default and like new. I wish we could do the balancing

[@terminalvelocityrunner2202]

Predator, if i were to offer you a chouce if firearms to defend yourself in like a zombie siege, both with a max range of 500 meters, would you prefer the machine gun who’s shots missed 30 percent of the time at max range, or the machine gun whose shots missed forty percent at max range? If you picked the latter one, congrats. You picked the nerfed one as it effectively misses more shots due to bullet spread. Essentially, any time you see a firearm have increased dispersion, that means that it has increased rate of its bullets loosing their accuracy at longer ranges. And considering the entire point of a firearm is to hit the target from a distance, if its shots miss more often at farther range, it’s probably not going to be very l good at that.
