What is it? Cuz I can’t figure it out.
This game is by nature fast paced. The stages seem to be designed to funnel the teams into eachother one way or another, whether by narrow stages or intended routes through wider stages. And yet more often it seems like you get punished for grouping up with your team.
Every weapon in this game seems designed for offense. Even the paint-heavy weapons or long ranged “support” weapons.
So where does the brella fit in? They feel clunky. And if they’re designed to fill a certain role it seems like other weapons fill it better.
It only makes sense for a game like this with offenseive weapons and abilities to necessitate Defensive abilities and weapons, but to me, even they feel like offense.
I’d much more often hesitate heading down a corridor with a charger laser aiming down it than a brella user at the end. Generally the shield doesn’t even seem useful. And until maybe very high ranks or comp what other player is going to stick behind you just cuz you can shield them a few seconds? Woulda smarter player even consider sticking with you?
I guess it just feels like with the whole “sequel” thing they needed a new weapon type and this was it, but the game doesn’t feel to me to need it and feels like a big waste.
Thoughts?
