It's fine. There's nothing wrong with not being able to one-shot them, it's a super. It should be, y'know, super. Running away is a valid strategy and a good way to stop them from getting six kills with it. Been plenty of times I've used it and gotten no kills because, whaddaya know, they all ran for the hills and didn't stay close. People just don't like that idea for some reason... You can also dance around them, the hammers are thrown pretty slowly so as long as you keep moving you might be able to stall it out if they spot you. Not sure what the ideal range on that is though.

  • That is true. Only it feels like the damage output and damage reduction are put of proportion. I don't feel like it would hurt a lot if it got toned down a bit.

  • Well, if it didn't one-hit kill, it wouldn't feel very super, especially since you only get a max of like 7 hammers. It would definitely cut down on the killing rate, but is getting multiple kills really the Sunbreaker's fault? Everyone knows that the hammers do AOE damage, so players should know not to stick together while the super is active. In terms of damage reduction, I can't say much either for or against the nerf as I haven't played mine enough (been playing Striker tryna get those stupid quests done - gotta get those emblems). I can say that in my experience fighting [i]against[/i] Sunbreakers, they are not that hard to kill if they don't have your attention - running in a room against three others more often than not spells doom for the titan. And from what I've seen on the forums, the biggest complaint is that they survive a headshot from full health. I don't think that's really a problem, either, as it requires a very specific setup to pull off (and if the titan has any previous damage on it, he's dead anyway).

  • I see your point. What if instead of a damage reduction nerf the time the super is active would be shortened? It is after all one of the longest lasting supers considering the amount of hammers that can be thrown
