[@You-fools]

The charge & slam change allows you to clear small bumps in the ground made by the unbreakable building foundations that would usually leave you stuck and unable to actually push through buildings. It's a massive improvement to charge & slam usage to escape danger and chase in awkward situations.

[@Saanfraancisco]

Great. Another annoying way for heavies to stay alive forever

Glitch barrel is an APS debuff in my books 👀

[@killzonearmed]

Some people might complain about the glitch barrels, i think they were a needed thing to the game because of how dominant shields and heavys are. It might "nerf" light, but honestly, i do not think it would be a big nerf as people who cry about everything think.

[@haku4841]

Light just needs a buff to its hp at this point or to its regen time if it was 175hp or pretended health slightly quicker they’d be less countered by all the mines and rpgs that are plaguing the game

[@killzonearmed]

@@haku4841 heavy needs nerfs all around, then balance the game again after that

[@NLMBxG3]

Lights didn't need to be nerfed. They needed a buff imo. The cloak skill is terrible they should've just removed it and replaced it altogether. It's as if they want lights to do nothing but snipe and melee. You can't get close enough to kill half the time you use any other gun. Just my experience I guess. Heavy needs to lose some utility they have damn have every gadget in the game. 3 shields and 350 Health. It's a crutch class I literally just throw it on when I'm not doing well with something else because it's so easy to use.

[@thatonesliceleft2867]

One step closer to Reshaper being meta... I crave it desperately. Out with grenades, in with the barrels!

[@madnessrelic3210]

Last time barrels were the meta everyone cried about it

[@thatonesliceleft2867]

@@madnessrelic3210 Wasnt that only because C4, Breach Charges, and Mines could be attached to em? Far as I've seen nukes arent really reliable anymore (Though nothing is stopping you from putting a barrel down next to a door with a Mine facing it)

[@madnessrelic3210]

@@thatonesliceleft2867 yep, that thing shown in all the trailers and promotional material... you know that intended mechanic (Also putting a mine on a barrel doesn't stack damage btw part of the nerf)

[@grehsoul]

a real nice light change wld be to cooldowns for abilities on kills or dmg and a parry reflect damage gadget

[@haku4841]

I reckon they could buff dash and grapple aswell tbh. I’d prefer 2 dashes that went slightly further on a slightly lower CD And grappling hook just needs a lower cooldown or if they wanna get wacky allow it to have 2 charges aswell but maybe to balance it they could increase the CD

[@outplayed_1283]

Its so frustrating playing as a light. We are forced to create strategies due to our weaknesses but then we get nerfed further into the ground

Wish they fixed the random crashes.

[@Cevsy]

I’m happy glitch barrels are getting added. APS turrets shooting down my glitch nades on the platform in powershift is annoying

[@Slappydafrog_]

Would be cool to have water barrels. interacts with fire to create smoke, nullifies gas, and makes solid goo a sticky liquid that slows movement :o

[@kotasake]

Excellent Idea

[@Fingle]

Technically, dagger didnt get a buff. Its just back to how it was before. It is slightly better to use now tho with the movment penalty only happening after the stab Edit. The super wide 180 degree range is pretty nuts but needed imo. Sure it looks insane in the firing range but in game it might not feel as good. Idk I haven't tried it yet I guess we will see. Before tho the dagger had almost a 180 degree range but it felt like it was only 30 degrees in game with hoe people move and the server-side hit reg. Again we will have to see.

[@armokil]

yeah. glitch barrels directly nerf light players as glitch nades were probably one of the best parts of a lights kit. oh well- we’ll have to see how it all plays out

[@Socrates526]

Glad they changed the wording of the ping voicelines. Saying "Attacking Here" is confusing as hell. Does it mean you're just letting your team know you're on a flank so that they're aware? Or does it mean that you're telling your team to come here to attack? I think the charge and slam change was because it used to get stuck on really tiny object like a sidewalk curb or something?

[@spritfolxi39]

Taking a dump while I watch this

[@kami3449]

Imo, they wouldn't have brought in glitch barrels knowing it would be a pseudo nerf to lights without having big plans for lights in season 3.

[@jamarilittlejohn6345]

Melee are way more consistent with aim assisted off too

[@BillyBajaBlast]

[@WKNDHRS]

Hello Ottr, there is little to no chance you see this, but obviously you have some sort of a pull with embark. I have posted almost every day in the discord and months of updates have gone past. There is a serious problem with audio, and yes my voice chat is enabled I’m not sped. I have checked through absolutely everything and it seems to be a game bug because in ranked I can talk only in the second round and on. No voice chat in lobby or any quick play or any first round of tournament. As you can understand this is not only a problem solo queuing but when I’m with friends too it’s just boring and they are all talking while my game is just silent other than game audio. I have heard other players online say they have the same issue let me know if you know a fix or if you can let them know. I have tried posting in the discord every day this is my last resort.

[@jesseferland5136]

I saw someone on reddit say they had this issue after blocking players and unblocking all players resolved it. Hope this helps

[@anonymousperson32]

I think the light weapons (except for t. knives, shotgun, and sniper) should have higher dps. Then it could be a dedicated dueling class or something.

[@Closed_Captions]

Making the light instakill would just add to the original issue people had with light. XP already instakills medium with even 1 headshot/

[@rezlerr_]

and it still be usless in ranked

[@kami3449]

The problem isnt there damage lights have some of the highest dps weapons in the game. However upping the damage will hardly do anything because you still have 150 health at the end of the day. The thing lights needs more of is new meta defining gadgets/specializations and a change to there health regen so they can get back in fights faster than any other class.
