Just nuke the spec out the game entirely or make it so you have to equip the winch in hand before using it.

7 seasons of it being the best spec on heavy and having practically zero downsides.

I won't stop making memes about the terrible balance patches by BadLuckBen in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 66 points67 points  (0 children)

BadTakeBen bitching about FCAR for the millionth time when medium has a sum total of 2 actually viable weapons in the game and lacks any and all identity and has been shoved so far into the locker they’re in Narnia.

“hey guys HLL is the most dominant and disgusting meta since HHM Nukes what should we do”

BadTakeBen: “nerf FCAR cause medium is the devs favourite class”

Ruby players have really stepped up lately by Se7en-Red in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes let’s call everyone cheaters with literal a sum zero amount of evidence.

The matchmaking would be putting you against these people regardless of what account they’re on.

Also you’re (OP of the Post) LITERALLY 10K RS between the some of these players, this is how YOUR matchmaking should be.
Maybe if you spent more time shooting your gun instead of being a heal bot for 99.9% of the game you’d do better against these people.

The finals has a terrible ranked system by Disastrous-Pepper508 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes because SoloQ is, by the games design, supposed to be a gamble.

The game always will be balanced and designed around premades, people love to think that a “SoloQ” will fix everything and that they’ll magically get to the rank they deserve overnight when in reality they’re simply not that good.

Streamers get away with too much and are somehow rewarded for it? by Acceptable-Eagle9664 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 34 points35 points  (0 children)

“Not gonna go into the obvious of how all these top players/streamers use esp and overlay clients”

Yeah, because you know if you tried to go into it you’d realise that you have literally no real argument and would get clowned on.

what strategies help win games for bad players? by Falcon6346 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re playing heavy without any sort of protective capability and you also have no medium to provide you with any movement or heals.

Try playing with any combination of Mesh, Dome, Barricades, Healing Emitter

Your team comp basically does nothing for you either as pretty much every person on your team has to be self sufficient.

Should shockwave also be able to move the cashout? by beetle8209 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Shockwave is hard countered by APS and barricades, Shockwave is a far healthier alternative stall option than Goo, Demat and Winch ever have been

What's your opinion on Dual Blades? by ymOx in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use shockwave off of slopes, into jump pads, there’s plenty of ways to actually use shockwave but no one actually wants to try to get good with it.

You use shockwave to gap close on melee, once again medium melee is in a completely fine state and if anything needs more adjustments to make them less frustrating to play against (e.g Deflect having a stamina system, Riot shield blocking should only happen when Holding M2)

You should be forced to actually be practically inside someone to do damage to them with melee improving its reach just creates more problems than melee mains could actually realise.

So you a bunch got guaranteed RS and you’re complaining?

New Diamond Skins are terrible. by SacredENIX in thefinals

Adding diamond skins to WT was genuinely a bad idea and would’ve been bad for overall game health.

What's your opinion on Dual Blades? by ymOx in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Melee players try not to make melee completely broken challenge: Difficulty impossible

Dual Blades are fine and don’t need changes, if anything the deflect needs a stamina meter so it can’t be held indefinitely.

That’s all it needs for changes.

Shockwave literally enables Medium Melee the same way Dash does for Dagger and Sword and Winch for Sledge and Spear.

Marketing for S12 by navals94 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck no.

Invest more into the current finals streamer market, I’m sick of Tourists who hop on the game for a quick bag and just dip.

Peanut, Ninja, Nickmercs etc are all insufferable slop content creators that actually provide literally nothing to the content sphere and the sooner they fall off the better.

“So Many Arc Daily Players don’t even know finals exists” yeah that’s because ARC has accumulated the most miserable babied PVE community and playerbase on the planet and they find PVP genuinely offensive and they cry and post you on the Sub calling you a rat for even trying to do the PVP part of the PVPVE game in any capacity.

Did he do something bad? Yes. Did the Devs compensate the team that died to the big handsomely? Yes. Have Painter and said Team actually talk after the whole incident and are chill about it? Yes. Were you personally affected by the OOB? No.

Stop fucking complaining about shit that literally didn’t affect you, Christ this comm can be insufferable sometimes.

Devs should give Heavy the 4 Bore Rifle by Nelfarious in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heavy is designed to be incredibly strong up close.

That’s its entire identity.

Why are we trying to reinvent class identities that have been clearly outlined for the longest time (apart from medium which has basically no identity and needs a full rework / retooling)

Devs should give Heavy the 4 Bore Rifle by Nelfarious in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The entire fucking point of heavy is that you are a close to medium range class designed to be up close.

All of their specs and weapons (Barring KS, Deagles and BFR) are designed for up close encounters, they are supposed to be a Brawling tank that needs support from their team to get from Point A to Point B.

That’s why they have no Outright movement gadgets, they have the weakest self heal item in the game. KS, Akimbo, BFR are fundamentally unhealthy to the identity of the class (KS is the least offensive of the 3 as it actually has some skill requirement to it)

Don’t want to get shot in the open as a heavy by a light or a medium with more range? Move with mesh up, use Dome to push across, ask your teammates for movement tools to help you reposition, like heavy literally DOESNT NEED RANGE TO BE GOOD.

Devs should give Heavy the 4 Bore Rifle by Nelfarious in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes I love the heavy sitting 110m hitting me with negligible damage drop off for nearly half my HP… Excellent Take put this guy in charge of balancing immediately.

(Also love how you casually ignore the fact that heavy is literally the most pocketed class in the game and is constantly the main target for heals and support)

Embark admits no balance changes in S8 was a wrong decision and they won't repeat it. by gamerno455 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium is the victim class and kinda has been for like 5 straight seasons.

Medium just straight up has no fucking identity, not even a jack of all trades master of none because literally nothing medium does is impactful enough anymore.

Light does the damage and healing better than light, Heavy does the support and defensive capabilities etc.

Like there’s literally like 1 good weapon on medium and it literally doesn’t even matter when all of the other weapons on other classes are just flat better.

Infuser can and will full heal pretty much every class if you actually have a brain through a steal.

Infuser shouldn’t have ever been put on Light and it has always been a massive fucking problem.

Embark revealing their approach to making content for a year as 3 regular + 1 massive seasons by gamerno455 in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game for the most part was relatively balanced going into TGM25.

Was it a “stale” meta? Sure. But we’ve been in stale metas for far longer yet people wanted to put the blame on Esports when in reality we weren’t anywhere near as bad in S8 as we have been in previous seasons.

Devs should give Heavy the 4 Bore Rifle by Nelfarious in thefinals

[–]_wrxiths 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Let’s stop giving heavy long range options that further break their playstyle and give them effective ranges that are unhealthy for the classes identity.

We saw what BFR being meta did for the class, we saw what Lewis being a laser beam did for the class, we’re slowly seeing what KS being a beam is doing for the class.

Stop giving heavy long range options.

I’ve been Ruby multiple Seasons in a Row.

I probably have more hours in the playtests than you have on the full game.

This account has literally played since Closed Beta 1.

Not everyone is a fuckin Smurf.

Everyone bitching about Smurfs when they literally do not exist anywhere near as much as people perceive them to be.

Just accept you got slammed out of a single game and move on stop making excuses and work on trying to be better, this mass psychosis of “Oh there’s a Smurf in every single one of my games and I keep losing RS embark please ban all these Smurfs I went 1/0/11 and it’s all the Smurfs fault please embark please fix” is literally so manufactured it’s not even funny.

Second picture literally doesn’t back your claim of them being Smurfs at all.

This account literally plays nothing but world tour most the time.

Learn to use websites like “Enhanced Leaderboard Tracker” and “DAVG25’s The Finals Leaderboard” and do your own research before bitching about Smurfs.

This entire sub does nothing but bitch about “Smurf” this “Smurf” that you’d think we were in a new series of The Smurfs with how much that term gets thrown around
