Mech was just given a detailed mastery, allowing it to equip drills, laser beam cannons, and so much more!

Following this, the base version was also improved, but the boost from the Q is horizontal rather than vertical, complete with decreased duration.

And so, as per usual, we'd like to know what you love and hate about them, what needs a revamp, a buff or a nerf. PLEASE only vote if you have actually used them both for a while.

ruby oasis
#

Ok so what exactly does this do

#

Is it just barrier's passive

violet ibex
#

my main problem with mech is they

  • have ALOT of hp
  • outrun most abilities via dashing
  • cannot be ragdolled, and recieve reduced knockback
  • have "weird" hitboxes
  • five. hundred. combo extenders.
    • essentially cannot be countered without god punch

the update has been so far, really annoying? mainly when everyone's using mech it becomes impossible to really survive using just about any ability

Today is a good day to be an archer main

Something something will give feedback later

#

The eject seat is way too op

#

Its a full revive

#

Like make the mech explode around you NOT dealing damage and just pushing enemies back

#

And uhh u get like 40% hp when ejected

#

And i dont really like how u needa click R to use ur flying legs, its time consuming especially for mobile

#

Add a T to mech so like R and T are the legs for mech and E and Q the arms

#

No more unnecessary switching

its not my fault it got changed???

#

i had a gimmick idea

ruby oasis
#

What is it

naive sequoia
#

dont think i can say

ruby oasis
#

wdym

naive sequoia
#

i cant say because its testing related

ruby oasis
#

...

#

ok but was it in some way related to

#

Outright projectile immunity

naive sequoia
#

It would have a gimmick in place that made you have to think to use projectiles

#

an actual counter

ruby oasis
naive sequoia
#

not outright immunity no

#

that was the sudden change

ruby oasis
naive sequoia
#

dont blame them
it was because aw's code isn't the best

ruby oasis
#

Yeah but surely they could have made something that isn't

#

One of the most flawed passives

i dont know okay

This game loves adding full projectile protection instead of adding projectile damage and kb fall off

drill is kinda op ngl

rugged cosmos
#

yeah

but eject seat is useless

#

and there isnt much customization

rugged cosmos

and the mastery unlock description just lies

Really takin the slap battles route huh

that's actually pathetic

leg mode with default legs needs a nerf like why is this boost usable twice

And no kb happens at all

And then it gets a random buff

#

Because checken is incompetent

errant dove
#

Imagine rage e with a dash on start up and kb immunity

ruby oasis
errant dove
#

That’s mech move stacking

ruby oasis
#

Mech went from a rangeslop health chipper to a military grade paper shredder

errant dove
#

attacks like archer pierce the anti projectile system

#

but baller balls require 3 hits to break

#

and it regens in 5 seconds

#

enough time to dash and attack

#

even defender has cd on switch

naive sequoia
#

i havent even been able to use the MT-D38-X SPHERICAL HARMONICS GENERATOR since its rework
im just now learning how bad it ACTUALLY is

#

😭

errant dove
#

but mech doesnt which allows movestacking

errant dove
#

dash then ground breaker is the most free extender

ruby oasis
#

Answer my question

#

Shall I eradicate all mechs

#

For fun

errant dove
#

good luck bro

ruby oasis
#

And neither will I need crossbow

errant dove
#

checken also allowed punching during dashes

ruby oasis
#

I do not fear them

errant dove
#

i wonder if checken ignores most of the testers comments

ruby oasis
#

For I have something terrible prepared

mech mas is fun to play, very op,
the drill is evil, and no ragdolls is broken

rocky beacon
#

Playing with literally any ability other than mech or smth w a lot of movement like spring is impossible simply from the sheer amount of ppl using mech. Not to mention you either get drilled literally by someone using 2 at once, or half your health incinerated by plasmas

Or atleast the best option for 1 ability since I just got 25 kills

crystal forum
torn valve
crystal forum
# torn valve oh dang which part should I get 😭

It depends, but if you wanna be Ranger use default legs, ejector seat, default arm and plasma cannon arm, and energy core

This let's you use 12 bullet arm as primary and plasma cannon for extra ranged firepower. Probably not the most powerful but pretty fun

torn valve
#

and doesnt mind chasing people

#

Jus be op fr 😭

crystal forum
torn valve
#

the drill right?

crystal forum
#

If you duel weird plasma cannons and use them both at the same time it can do pretty high dmg if you consistently land it

#

But you gotta be somewhat accurate

torn valve
#

alright

#

I'll get the plasma cannon

crystal forum
#

Also if your gonna do trees you should have atleast one default legs for dash and jump

torn valve
#

ngl I intend to do 1 plasma and 1 for esomething else

crystal forum
#

Treds*

torn valve
#

like 1 for long range, 1 for close

crystal forum
torn valve
crystal forum
torn valve
#

Dang alright so I'll def use the groundbreaker arm

#

yea prolly 1 tread, groundbreaker arm, energy core and idk what for the other arm

#

and ejector fs

crystal forum
torn valve
#

hm

#

I'll check em both out

crystal forum
#

Yeah js experiment with it, the customization is what makes it so fun

torn valve
#

not a big fan of the treads I prefer legs 💔

glacial jewel
#

the treads are pretty weak

#

all the arms are pretty cool and have their uses

#

i just wish there was a reason to use default over some of the other parts

#

plasma cannon is objectively a better normal mech arm and you'll have no reason to use default head part due to it having no benefits over ejector seat

#

also imo the mech changes/nerfs this update should be reverted or toned down a bit

torn valve
#

bro but ngl this mech mastery is kinda sad

#

like every server its always mech and I assume

#

itll be like that for a WHILE

glacial jewel
#

i think its cool but it would be so much better if they didn'

#

didn't nerf mech into the ground

torn valve
#

but I mean a mech mastery, what do u expect lmao

torn valve
#

then given something else a mastery

glacial jewel
#

well you see it already was good before

#

but they hit it pretty hard this update

torn valve
#

bro

#

I was so shocked

#

when I got mech like a few months ago

#

I thought it was the most op thing in the game it sucked

glacial jewel
#

its decietful

#

it looks really bad on paper but in reality its actually super powerful

#

im gonna miss the old mech if they dont revert those changes

#

the E nerf was justified but honestly everything else was unneeded

#

maybe a Q nerf to the height it sent you but thats it

#

im sure there are shadow changes for mech in there too

#

like always

torn valve
#

dang

#

Never knew u could use that with mech

#

maybe the nerf was for the better dang

#

but yeah mech is hella annoying rn, as much as I love to use it its kinda annoying

crystal forum
crystal forum
#

Vertical q would be cool

glacial jewel
#

they better revert the Q

#

like i cant do this anymore

crystal forum
#

But the smaller mech makes the hitbox feel usable without mastering the ability

crystal forum
#

But the height was a balanced evasive move, now its just pure movement and very spamming like trees are useless cause who needs that when you can be faster

#

The only use tred has is if you want to live 5 seconds longer

gleaming mauve
#

Awwwww I love the mech mastery

#

But it does need improvements I think there energy core should release a consistent beam laser

timber gull
#

Two drill hands, harmonize and default legs (combined) are so good. It really gives crazy movement and great combos.

#

I think that the tread legs should give a higher movement than what it is rn, drills should have less movement distance and harmonize idk but it should be nerfed. Also more options would be cool in future updates

#

the mech mastery is very overpowered with just the right combos(drill, drill, and normal legs) you can bombard your enemy with loads of burst damage. Not only i think that all of the x's need to be replaced with something

#

because what do you mean that legs and head only have one other option?

#

i feel like if we nerf some of the current ones, drill to be exact. and add more variety for EACH category this would make the mech alot more worth it and fun to play

crystal forum
knotty cloud
#

yeah

knotty cloud
misty halo
#

eject seat should be reworked

#

my idea is that when ejecting you'd have only 60 HP and deal 8 damage minus ragdoll, also the mech itself would have 20 less max health, BUT you'd have an E after ejecting that, on use, calls a new mech, though it'd have a 50s cd when ejecting

#

you have no idea, i thought because of the dome shape and the body. there wouldve been more options

#

but there are currently 2 head options and 3 body options

#

obv its just art, but it made me think that they added alot more to mech mas

#

which they did but i just dont know why they didnt add 5 options per category

I think they should add more parts to mech mastery and do some sort of rework to unmastered mech. They’re basically the exact same

i've realized the issue with mech i think

#

they removed like

#

ALL of it's vertical movement and abilities

#

it cant even jump up onto the shack anymore

#

it's jump height was BUTCHERED

#

might be fair, but they basically replaced it's vertical mobility for horizontal mobility

#

it can run really well now, it just cant go up high anywhere

#

also the tread legs are REALLY bad

#

they hardly make you any faster (especially considering they dont let you use the thruster dash move thing)
and the inability to jump makes them worse in every way to default legs, the health increase is negligable

#

the moment your opponent steps up a little ledge you can no longer reach them

ruby oasis
#

Why did plasma cannons get nerfed they were already on the lower end

#

Especially considering that mech meta rn is

#

double normal leg double drill/whatever that other arm that hit the ground was with harmonics generator/power core

glacial jewel
#

default arms are actually the best

#

you cant beat the OG in terms of damage

knotty cloud
#

plasma cannon nerf???????

#

it was already horrible

glacial jewel
#

ok to be fair

#

plasma cannon is actually really good people just used it wrong

#

u gotta use both cannons at the same time

#

it DECIMATES people's HP, even after the nerf

#

that nerf was probably fair, i dont really want to know what the previous damage would've been like

Here my feedback for the Mech mastery.

Its prob one of the easiest mastery to unlock to current times, is it a bad thing? no.

I think that the mech mastery needs more parts and mostly (more creative parts) because the current ones are very basic in each one usage and with in shake up to mostly 3 playstyles ''Bralwer, ranged.'' and its kind of make the mastery lose a bit of what in my opinion made it unique.

and lastly, i think that the complains about mech being ''too strong'' comes mostly from people who don't know how easy it his to combo mech, and all you rlly need is spacing.

in the end, its a good mastery, would have been more appreciated if it has more building variety (more cores, head parts, legs, and some new arms.)

Examples: corrosive arms, press the ability button to release in a cascade in front of you in a 5 meter range acid that deals decent damage and reduces defense for like 10 seconds.
Claw legs: allows the uses to walk on all walls, getting damaged make lose the grip, possible nerfs to movement speed, unless actively attached to a wall, in that case its normal movement speed.
Rocket cabin: if the mech dies, the cabin transform into a missiles that gets lanched and move similarly to pirate cannon shoot, when lading, kills the mech user and deals explosion similar to nuke.

novel inlet
misty halo
#

i think it should give a singular part for every 25 kills, going in the order of treads, energy core, plasma cannon, ejector seat, groundbreaker, harmonic thingy, then finally the drill, that way it'd take actual grinding to max it out

#

also imo the drill needs a rework

#

i think the way drill should work is that on use you burrow into the ground using it, having no speed increases while underground, then after 1.5s or when pressing the ability again you'd resurface with a large hitbox, dealing around 15 damage and launching upward, this'd have a 14s cooldown (longer than other abilities) and cooldowns would pause while underground to prevent using it for stalling

#

also drill would combo well with groundbreaker, this'd make sense due to the fact that one breaks the ground for defense and the other breaks the ground for offense

novel inlet
misty halo
#

the hitbox is decently large

#

plus the laser barrage is still quite strong

novel inlet
misty halo
#

but basically everything's ping dependent

novel inlet
misty halo
#

also getting like over 50% of the mastery at 25 kills is kinda way too easy

novel inlet
misty halo
#

maybe they could change it to 50 kills for the starting 4 parts, 100 kills for the next set of 4 parts (drill, groundbreaker, harmonic thingy, whatever the next part added will be)

novel inlet
#

all it does is had a ''customization feather'' to an already existing ability, i would agree with you if there way more option to customise the arms legs and the rest.

misty halo
#

then 150 kills for another set of parts

novel inlet
#

again, the current ones are not enough to justify an increase the requirement for the mastery.

misty halo
novel inlet
misty halo
#

i'd say mech's powerful enough to justify 2 parts per 25 kills

novel inlet
#

the current parts (exept like 2 possibly) are not strong to the point of an increase.

misty halo
#

my other idea is:
25 - Treads, Groundbreaker, Drill, Core
50 - Harmonic thingy, Plasma cannon
75 - Eject Seat, New thing
100 - 2 New things
125 - 2 New things
150 - 4 New things

#

so most milestones would give 2 but some would give 4

novel inlet
misty halo
#

core's pretty balanced due to reducing HP by 20

#

i'd say it fits as a starter mastery item

#

plus the core's glass cannon style would help with getting kills

novel inlet
#

prob didnt understood well what u mentioned earlier.

misty halo
#

yeah that harmonic thingy needs a nerf

#

i think it should give a health debuff like the energy core

novel inlet
misty halo
#

maybe changing the shield's HP from 3 projectiles to just like 20 actual HP would be good

#

(it'd still only block projectiles)

novel inlet
misty halo
misty halo
#

mech's version has the same issue though it's slightly less op due to not blocking tiny ones

novel inlet

#

abilities like baller (defender) and bounty mas are essentially useless against a mech with it

misty halo

i guess

And yet I don't see any nerfs towards ufo mas

Which is arguably top 1

errant dove
#

They probably don’t know about punching during boost

ruby oasis
#

For the simple reason of:

#

It's spectator but can attack people

errant dove
#

(To do you punch then q which tricks the game into letting you punch)

#

This can guarantee lots of damage if combined with cpc

ruby oasis
errant dove
#

I remember that one time they buffed Brickbattler super explosion damage from 55 to 65 during bb prime

ruby oasis
#

Something something it tricks the game into letting you punch after the punch cooldown ends

errant dove
#

Newer abilities can also stack which is really strong

ruby oasis
#

Hit their keyboard

#

Actually better theory

#

They ask their personal chat bot abilitygpt

errant dove
#

They search nerf in chat and listen to the blue and toothpaste roles

ruby oasis
#

Not all feedback is good

#

That's also why games like these usually have dedicated balancer teams

#

Aka those that have actual game knowledge

errant dove
#

They haven’t done a tester application because testers aren’t “needed”

ruby oasis
#

And won't ask for a ufo mas buff (top 1 ability btw)

#

mech mastery rn is a good mastery. but it is just kinda boring due to the limited options

rocky beacon
glacial jewel
#

i want the parts to be less of direct upgrades ngl

#

like why ever use the default head when you could use ejector seat

#

or why ever use default torso when you could just use harmonics

#

the arms are fine tho, as the abilities are all pretty evenly balanced and have their use cases

#

i do think groundbreaker could use a buff, its damage is rather low for how close you have to get to enemies to use it

#

making it stun for longer or making it easier to hit could be an option

novel inlet
# rugged cosmos You're underestimating Mech like crazy. The mastery IS one of the strongest abil...

Mech is factually not that strong compare to the current meta, yes it has no ragdoll, yes it has a bigger hitbox, but he has has well a bigger hurtbox, cant combo unless there a wall, comboing mech is quite easy has all u need to know is basic ''spacing'', and the only thing that the mastery changes is the way players need to space depending on what arms the mech user id going for.

so again, the mastery is not that strong compare to others mastery.

so, making so that the mech mastery works by unlocking the current parts by 1 for each 25 kills would just make a mastery that does not change that much more annoying to unlock and in general, less of an incentive to get.

novel inlet
#

Another suggestion i could give about the Mech mastery,is giving the abilitys E and Q matching arms, for example, if the drill is in the right arm, Q activate it, if its in the left arms, E activates it.

crystal forum

Atleast to use

the strongest mech mastery arms will always be the default

you cannot beat that absolute HEALTH MELTER

#

drill may be annoying to dodge but it cant beat the damage of default

cant even come close actually

ruby oasis
#

What do you think about mech mastery and the fact that it has barrier's passive but basically better

glacial jewel
#

though the boosts from energy core make gameplay a lot more thrilling

ruby oasis
#

Twice

#

The big mode buff roll to be specific

glacial jewel
#

if you use both of the dashes at the same time you can rocket towards people at mach ten

ruby oasis
#

Since for some reason you can punch during it

glacial jewel
#

worse for comboing

#

but good for catching people off guard

glacial jewel
#

i want a mech leg part that sacrafices your movement speed in turn for giving you an upwards thruster move

#

was a fun part about mech and having some of that vertical mobility again would be nice

#

a mech leg that lets you perform high jumps similar to rabbit could be nice too

#

especially considering mech’s ground stomp move deals a decent chunk of damage now

novel inlet
ruby oasis
#

The difference is that it can be clearly seen on mech, and cannon on barrier

#

You'd know that if you played against barriers

novel inlet
# ruby oasis Barrier too has some downtime

but barrier is a 360° protection, while mech only has 180°

again, mech passive of barrier is not has strong has the actual barrier which has a way smaller down-time.

''You'd know that if you played against barriers''

ruby oasis
#

Meanwhile mech's is less than that

#

Plus it can block 3 times

#

Meanwhile barrier blocks once

#

Also, the 360 degree protection doesn't matter when all it takes is looking towards the enemy's general direction

novel inlet
ruby oasis
#

(And man do I doubt that harmonics gen doesn't have 360 degree protection)

novel inlet

novel inlet
#

in short, if i send 3 projectiles on a barrier and a mech.

the mech will block all 3 projectiles only counting 1 stack of the 4

while barrier will use 1 stack per projectile.

ruby oasis
#

It doesn't have stacks

#

It just does it's thing then immediately goes on cooldown
