As it stands, the Rocket Jumper combined with the Mantreads have almost no downside whatsoever.
This brings a plethora of problems, from delaying to trolling to outright being useless.
Issues me and other people have witnessed is the partial to almost complete lack of self-damage on Rocket Jumps and Fall damage. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if ’Goombas' wouldn’t exist, but as it stands, they do, and Soldier rounds in every way become an annoyance.
There’s NO risk at all for a soldier. He doesn’t need a medic after every 3-4 rocket jumps. And even if he does, he most likely lost roundabout 30hp overall after jumping for the past 10 minutes.
Even if somehow the Soldier misses his Market Garden / Goomba, he can easily just get away with no HP concerns and try literally 3 seconds later. (after reloading his weapon)
I know I’m probably a hypocrite for suggesting this to begin with, considering I also used the Mantreads/Rocket Jumper quite often. But this should ultimately just prove the direness and stupidity of this combination.
A quote from a friend Space (STEAM_0:1:94962557) and his personal opinion:
‘’he's either a class that does 0 damage and just rocket jumps around the boss for the entire round, as a stalling tactic, and the boss can't catch him because of that lack of self damage
or does easily over 3000 with little to no risk other than the boss immediately raging after he lands''
Another one from my friend Estyle (STEAM_0:0:98769486):
''I firmly believe that this combo is overpowered due to its high mobility and no drawback at all. A lot of games could've been ended much earlier than they actually lasted, but instead the whole lobby is supposed to watch this 'entertaining' gameplay of some trolldier, who just rockets jumps away from the hale all the time. This combo's mobility or the damage of the gardener should be nerfed to avoid the unfair advantage for the hale and to shorten the endgame of the rounds.''
This is just some people I asked…
I'm open for other people's opinions, and I know people have a different story to tell. So I hope we'll see some of it!
(Also, I'm unsure if I'm supposed to add a poll or not from the get-go, so I'll just leave it out for now?)
