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.

Right now it's fine because there are so many broken abilities and mechanics that I find that every thing is fairly balanced

Don't call for nerfs against huntards. Only huntards can call for nerfs against us. Come on now
-
Real hunters don't run vortex
-
Leave it alone

I have no issues with smoke grenades. They aren't broken so there's nothing to fix.

wombo combo......any one wanna play smash bros? i got project m for the wii

Edited by Benzene21: 2/9/2016 1:18:39 AMPossible solutions: 1) remove smoke damage but leave everything else (slow movement, vision affected, etc.) 2) remove slow movement while inside smoke but leave everything else 3) improve animation of character so it's easier to see when someone is throwing grenades. Most times the opponent is in front of me, clear vision, and I still can't see when he throws his grenades/smoke. It's like the animation doesn't exist. Knowing this can give players time to run or evade.

1 ReplyI've been using that since Nightstalker came out, it's my fave. Paired with Monte Carlo nd Ahamkara grasps it's even better.

No counters to a wombo combo? You have a teammate that can interrupt a team combo. If he lets you get team comboed from zero to death then thats his problem. And if your teammate is out of stocks then you're gonna get destroyed anyway. Plus it takes plenty of skill to team combo.
-
This is basically the same stuff people said about Hammers, but this time it's smoke. While it pisses me off, it's not OP or a crutch.
-
4 RepliesYou say smoke is throwable so it shouldn't be a melee as your excuse, yet you never complained about throwing knife being a melee. Throwing knives are throwable last I checked.... Or maybe because that excuse helps you out for your rant more so you use it.
-
Idk if you realise how annoying it is to try and melee someone and throw a smoke past them instead That alone is trade off enough imo

5 RepliesIt's not the -blam!-ing Wombo Combo. Please do not drag that into this toxic community.

1 ReplyI play Hunter, and I can agree, this can destroy small maps with 3 vs 3. Was in Trials, last guardian standing. They rush, smoke, voidwall, "triple down, you won the natch guardian."
-
3 RepliesI understand how you feel but I think that's the salt talking. Warlock/Titan only need to stick 1 fusion grenade to kill the target. So a Hunter having to use a grenade and a melee to get a kill can't be considered OP or. Crutch.
-
4 RepliesYou realize other melees one hit kill right? No of course you didn't. You're more focused with hunters being able to defend themselves.

Agreed

3 RepliesThrowing knives are a melee charge and is throwable... You just salty bro

5 RepliesDoesn't need a change, you are just a moaning prick with nothing better to do.

4 RepliesAnd yet this kid does not whine about the scatter grenade/throwing knife combo? That is a deadly range melee/grenade combo that can deal more damage than smoke and vortex and yet nobody complains about it. It seems someone is a little butt hurt...

Warlock melee ain't exactly traditional melee range either
