Fix The Smoke/Vortex Crutch AKA The Wombo Combo
It kills way too fast and it's unfair because there's no counter. Don't deny it hunters, it's pretty op.
Edit: We did it 450 replies and every comment is someone saying one of these 3 things:
-Firebolt is more op
-But...but us hunters have to sacrifice a Melee and grenade charge!
-Lol
Yes Firebolt is op, but so is this smoke issue. I don't know why smoke is considered a Melee because it is throwable (that's a word deal with it) but anyways...
[spoiler]bungo plz[/spoiler]
Edit 2: 600 replies. Now everyone is still saying smoke if balanced because it takes a "Melee" charge. Let me tell you something.
Is it truly a Melee if you can throw it like a second grenade? A simple fix would be to buff smoke but make it a grenade, as well as buffing vortex.
Yes, I main a warlock and I'm aware of Firebolt being op. That's not the point of this post however.
Edit 3: Ok yes I am a bit salty about this because we lost our 8-0 trials game against smoke/vortex abusers. I knew it was annoying in the first place but losing an entire trials match because of that is so annoying. Call it op, a crutch, exploit, whatever. It needs a change.
/end rant
Every comment is the same. Read the post and if your comment isn't the same thing everyone says, I'll actually comment and care.
[quote]It's hardly an exploit but yeah, it does need a change and anyone that says otherwise is blind to it.
Just add a simple timer between when you can toss the smoke after a grenade or a grenade after a smoke. Simple fix.[/quote]

That's a good fix too.
Should I be proud or ashamed that my first post to hit 1k comments is a salty bitch post? Thanks I guess.

Edited by Darches: 6/8/2016 2:49:42 AMThis stuff is so OP that I'm collecting gear to abuse it. Tether is also the most reliable and tactical super in the game, and keen scout and shadestep? Top tier class for sure.

It can be an easy way to get kills. Seems like a fair trade off due to using both your grenade and melee charge at the same time. And hey, it takes the same amount of skill as a shotgun kill up close.

Just got a double down in crimson doubles yesterday with the wombo combo Felt pretty nasty :-)

1 ReplyYou are the biggest idiot, I'm glad you lost your 8-0 to something that's in the game and you got outplayed. Bungie needs to nerf the forums with these posts.
-
I wouldn't say nerf it but you should be able to jump out of a smoke grenade. So I say add that mechanic but then increase the same the smoke does.
-
I have heard of a new technique to avoid this combo, I have used it myself and it works well. It simply involves pushing the joystick, which causes your character to move, and allows them to avoid an incoming nade or smoke and move out of its area of effect. I recommend you try it.

Edited by Lord Indra: 2/10/2016 12:51:00 PMSo is this it? This is what we're doing guys? We are complaining to nerf every little fu(king into the ground until every class and weapon does 1 point of damage? It seems like that's what you guys want. You guys are fu(king pathetic. Complain, complain, complain. This gets nerfed, another complaint, that gets nerfed, another complaint, etc etc. what happen to ADAPTATION??? What happen to counter picking? What ever happen to competing? Part of the reason this game is dying is all the fu(king complaint and whining from either trash pvpr's or new players who have no clue what it took to get here. This game is NOT about balance when the fu(k will ppl realize that? I mean you can throw a fu(kin fireball at someone mid gunfight. This ain't COD and BF. Get used to it it's not gonna change.

Nerf it! Nerf it now! [spoiler]bungo plz[/spoiler]
-
As a titan, its fine Dont get hit.

Things shouldn't be nerfed anymore, they should be BUFFED. I'm not crazy just hear me out. Would people be complaining about wombo combo if throwing knives got the much needed buff to one hit someone if it's a headshot, or if the voidwalker energy drain got a buff. The same goes for weapons; instead of asking to nerf all the OP stuff like last word and thorn just buff everything else. Heck MIDA's balanced but everything else has just been nerfed to the point of uselessness. We need to ask for BUFFS. Tl;dr: BUFF things, don't nerf things Rant over

I'll be fine with a nerf as long as firebolts get nerfed also
-
What? Wait you can get kills with vortex grenade? Impossible nightstalkers have only one crucible kill worthy grenade. Smoke grenade all others are useless
-
Nerf grenades get rid of them all bungo. Also get rid of weapons as well. Nerf everything! !!
-
Bump just because I'm tired of the firebolt shit.
-
2 RepliesSo are Gunslingers not allowed to have throwing knives? O_o Seriously bro. First hunter class you get has ranged melee. Your argument makes no sense.
-
Hunters don't have a sticky grenade on that class that can kill. All they can do is prime or finish off. So them having a one shot and a kill isn't op. Titan you can get a sticking grenade and have 2. One hit kill. So is that op? The only grenade that may be op is the damn trapmine. Because it is a sticky placable one hit. Wambo combo is a viable move. Hunters defense if practically nothing. They have no shields compared to titan or warlock. not to mention over shields. Don't even get me start how op the damn flame shield is. One melee not even a kill instant over shield your dead. Titans have about 5 ways to get an over shield. Hunters can only get one from a revive so quit bitch about op hunters. It's more like super skilled hunters. You get beat by a hunter it's because they are skilled. And if they are so OP then play one yourself. You'll see that a titan is way more powerful then any hunter. It's all how you play
-
So you use two ability charges just to kill one person? Yet shoulder charge takes no charges and one shots
-
Dude no.
-
Me, a Titan, thinks it's perfectly fine. It's a good tactic that doesn't need a nerf. If I die from it good job. I was dumb enough to stand in it for more than 5 seconds. Hunters have wombo combo while the rest of us have something only our class is capable of doing
-
These forums are just full of people moaning about being killed by absolutely everything. Just learn how to compete and accept you might lose sometimes. There's not much left that's fun in this game anymore, it's all been nerfed into the ground.
-
It doesn't need fixing, just like warlocks don't need Dixon and the Titans were fun to use before they "fixed" it. Honestly practice dude. It's not that hard to find counter measures to anything on the game. Stay out of sniper lanes. Don't run straight forward to some one who's already firing at you. Be cautious. Watch your corners. Walk out of the smoke and grenade, don't just stand there and jump. Force them to play your game Don't go running into there's.
-
Salty bitch. Yep.
-
2 RepliesYou're complaining because you lost to it, which you just admitted, the combo is not OP, you just can't combat it. The only issue here is you (and your teammates) skill. Please refrain from making dumb posts just because you lost a game or two to X or Y gun/grenade/super, you got out played and that's all there is to it. This applies to everyone on this forum.
-
1 ReplyIt is easy to avoid. It takes a melee [b]and[/b] a grenade charge. Using both is overkill in many scenarios. I see no problem with it as someone who plays all classes.
