I'm now ending this spiral of retardation, on both sides, mine and yours:

Neth said that MOU does normal damage. Three flechettes PB from normal shottie can't crit Mature Rav/Ancient Lurker. It must be a bug.

[lurkermain]

I did not say it is not bugged. I was saying it is happening.

I didn't said you lied. I was saying it might be possible that disinformation exist.

Here is a question.

How much armour did you have left as a Ravager?

Perhaps if the Rav had no or little armour left, it allowed the Flech to deal more damage that was sufficient to kill them.

I know Flech is considered an AP weapon, but the changelog implies armour still helps lessen the damage it can deal.

The big thing that nobody is talking about, is how xeno no longer has their 40% damage reduction queen warding. That's the big reason why everything hurts so much, since it's not just the power of the weapons alone, it's also the lack of a no brainer damage reduction (like seriously, 40%, get the fuck out lmao). I wouldn't mind giving Warding a 10% damage reduction that doesn't scale with phero strength, since Warding right now doesn't really help T1.

I'd always said that xeno of old were too overwhelming with old pheromones, and too weak without. A big part of that was Warding, and how much damage it just flat out denies for xeno without any depth or challenge. Now I don't want to get back to those days, but I wouldn't mind giving Warding some love, as it's been falling behind a bit compared to recovery of today and frenzy.

Mature ravagers can now delimb through medium armor AND cause a groin fracture while at it. All in a single charge.

Can we go back to not having to deal with instantly-getting-removed-from-round bullshit like this? If I get gassed, I can at least be revived fairly easily, but if I'm missing a limb, I am dealing either with inability to reload by myself + other onehand issues OR debilitating slowdown that's one of the least fun things in the game.

[Steelpoint]

Ive lost track how many times the Ravs charge ability gets broken during an update.

The intended behaviour of Rac charges, as confirmed by the changelog and some staff, is that a rav charge should not fracture or delimb a limb so long as that area is at full HP.

Instantly losing an arm against an attack that is hard to dodge is unfair.

[Ttly]

Fuck, why are sentinels fasts as runners right now.

It's the return of the old tackle drag meta of runners like last year.
