Imba Heavy Tank?

[SirJoghurt]

So you want my opinion ... hm. I never liked the Heavy Tank

h3h3...your opinion..i respect.. i hate bitchie GoblinT porters


I always thought this tank is kinda "cheap" to play with. At some point it was really annoying that nearly everyone got a Heavy Tank. Thatswhy, one of the first things I did after I became Mapper of BT was: nerfing HT.

that was done..and it was ok.. we had hard discussion about it i remeber.. atm i see many Light/Heavy Airships..Miner in early game...i would say since.. mhmh 3-5 month you see many "different" Tanks choosen... before that time there was always "one" Tanks which was choosen really often.. sometime it was Heavey.. then Gobo..Roflcopter...Infernal..when it was really imba ^^ in the last games i played i saw many Miners...but ithnk this point of you everyone got.. if you play LightTank from start.. you think " man so much Air users again...playing Air.."man so much miners".. you know :wink:

That aside, I think that most people still play with Heavy Tank because they are used to it and it resembles their way of playing the best. And another thing, the Tank is in a price class, which seems to be the best when aiming for a good tank, without waiting too long to get there.

thats right.. its the "mid price Tank".. good until late game..

So there are several factors which make the Heavy the most popular tank out there.
I also have to agree to the point which Althend brought up, the HT is a very versatile tank. There are several ways how you could solve such a "problem". Since he performs good most situations, he can't be an expert in every one of them. So he could either be decent in a whole or specialised on some situations where he would the choice #1.
One case would to a overall nerf of his abilities, the other one to replacing one or two of his skills and give him a direction.

thats the prob.. its called BatleTanks.. and this is the Heavy Tank.. so think about a "real" Tank and it's skills...i mean GhostT.. look @ the name "Ghost".. so it has skills which make him to a "Ghost" Tank...same with all other Tanks..

If I had to replace an ability of the Heavy I'd start with his ultimate, although I have no idea with which ability it should be replaced with. Thats because there are just too many skills like that, buts that an overall issue with BT in my opinion, there are a lot of skills which are just to similiar. But thats not the question now.

well..thats what i meant with "basic charakter" of BT... its right..many skills are nearly the "same".. but what you want to change...it like implenting a lasergun into counter strike :mrgreen:

Sooo, all in all I think that no big changes are necessary, but maybe some little nerfs or a new ultimate (which shouldn't make him weaker, just better or weaker in some situations).

well.. i think setting down.. the Speed a bit..and damage of Mortar Troops..would be ok..setting the Ultimate and Rocket down again..would make him...to "bad" in compare with the other Tanks..when you get in your mind how hard it is to play against good GoblinT players..or Light/Heavy Airship/Shreeder and after the first DemonT...has been choosen..or someone..saves money to abuse infernal...then its getting really hard to play

greetz
