Why not increase guardian health?
With all the posts about nerfing handcannons and buffing auto rifles, I have been thinking as to why not increasing the guardians health? It's about 200 now so the original non-nerfed suros that could do damage in the 40s and 50s and kill guardians within 4-5 headshots and thorn can two shot people now. So why not increase our health and buff auto rifles to original status? All the weapons and abilities would need small buffs to comply with the increased health except maybe handcannons but I think its a good idea instead of more nerfs. What do you guys think? Maybe 250 health points?

1 ReplyI voted no just because of how much work that would take to balance everything out. If you just buffed weapon damages across the board, you're back to where you started. If you don't, HCs with small clip size are no longer viable. Current two-shot sniper rifles might suddenly require three shots. Machine guns lose more ground to rockets. Grenades and melee attacks suddenly need to be rebalanced. And so on. Far easier to identify a weapon group (ARs) and specific guns (exotic HCs) that need minor tweaking.

1 ReplyWhy not moar armor!! Problem with nerfs and buffs is it neglects the fact that whatever gun is killing people the most will be the bane of existence. I remember getting ate up by jolder's hammer and everyone complaining, but then thorn became the front runner for douchegun. It is sadly human nature to use whatever tool gets the job done as quickly as possible with no worry of how crazy it is.

Lets say you double the health of guardians but leave weapons the same. You would just be doubling the TTK for everything at that point. Honestly.. it would just make shotgun users stronger because you wouldn't be able to kill them as quickly and they would still hit you in the head for 500 damage or more with shot package.
