I bought the Kodiak pack to check for myself how strong they are. Best game so far +1600 dmg and regularly +1000dmg games. And this while they were not even leveled.
The argument that IS has strong mechs (just like the clanners btw.) and that "whiners" just dont want the clanners to grant anything nice is just a bad argument. The KDK 3 (and this is exclusively what I am referring to) is outperforming any other damage dealer by FAR. Very FAR.
If it would just be good or great it would be ok to let it go. But the combination of speed, agility, high weapon mounts and 4 ballistic slots makes it the ultimate destruction machine with completly outstanding damage dealing capacities.
So this is not about nerfing clans, this is about nerfing a mech the term"overpowered" is more than justified. It has to be brought down to the level of "great" instead to keep it on the level of "godlike".
If you people dont get this, I question your interest in competitive gameplay. Because competitive does not mean to stomp anything with absolutetly superior material. Competitive means to meet with nearly equal material and let skill decide the outcome. If you dont want this, then you are just here to stroke your epen and have no right to call anyone a "whiner".
no one has said that the Kodiak 3 isn't a very good mech, atm probably the best assault definitely the best clan assault.
which mind you, you should ask yourself, why does it take the perfect storm of 4 ballistic hardpoints, mounted extremely high, on a mech that can configure endo/ff/dhs and engine size to make 1 good clan assault mech?
is that not indicative a larger problem?
what we are saying is WHY did every other kodiak get nerfed? (and warned you about btw)
exactly why did the Kodiak 2 need a nerf? it has a grand total of 8 hard points on a 100 tonner, 6 energy, 1 ballistic and 1 missile. exactly what is OP about that?
did Spirit Bear need a nerf?
was the Kodiak 4 really so OP it needed a nerf?
THIS is why we are angry with the whiners, most of us could care less that the 3 got a nerf but it angers us when every variant of a mech is reduced to the sum of its best variant. so keep trying to act like your on the high horse but in the end the clans lost their
ONLY viable assault period, while IS continues to enjoy at least half a dozen excellent assaults.
