With the new 250 we got a big balance update. Weaker shotguns, biomass, armory wields no longer armor, cheaper gorges and so on. Most of the changes make sense, but some do not. I see a lot of games getting ruined because of one creature. its the fade. with new maximum health and weaker shotgun its nearly impossible to kill a fade now. with the new maximum of life every fade can blink in front of you, hit you, kill you and than run away. stats like 38:2 or 56:1 are not rare. With fade everything is possible. Before the balancemod i saw some really good marines getting this stats too. with their skill they also achieved stats like 40:1 or 35:2. Ok the balancemod weakend the marines and good marines from 249 have harder times now getting such good stats. but what about fades? are they really weaker? no! Although they are doing less damage now, the extra life now gives them the boost to kill up to 3 or 4 marines in row. i am not talking about bad marines and good fades. i am talking about good marines and good fades. and in my opinion a fade doenst require ANY skill at all. every rookie with 320hp and 100 armor can kill the best marines in this game and than run away. of course a fade should win against a marine. but a fade alone should not kill up to 3 or 4 marines in a group and kill the whole server. stats like 45:1 are insane and frustrating. with the new fade it is also impossible to die. good fades never die. the whole alienteam could be full of beginners, but one pro-fade killing everything can win the game for them alone. this can not be the sense of the game. you get a match-winner-creature for only 50 res...... in build 250 i am happier to see and onos than a fade. is that really a good sign?
on the other side if you disagree i would really like to hear how you can get rid of these fades. because this is a big problem in public. especially in midgame.
PS: i really want to discuss this problem. i had many thoughts about this topic and some discussions with other public-gamers who completly agreed with my facts. so this is NOT a whiner-post![;-)]( ";-)")
