Jackal svcks now

Post » Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:27 am

Even Marshal has better range than Jackal now, it was nerfed too much.
Now I'm not saying that you should make it like it was before the patch C, but right now Marshal is better at every range, Jackal does well only at very very short distance, Marshal not only has much higher damage output which make it OHK at point blank even when target is armoured but it can kill from a greater distance. While with Jackal I need to land 4+ (maybe 3-4 at point blank) accurate shots to kill armoured target. You call that balance ?

Jackal is fine now, by the time it takes you to get those "4+" shots off with the Jackal it's maybe the same amount of time as getting 2 shots with the Marshall at the most, and if a player misses with the Marshall they will pay the price, something a Jackal user has nothing to worry about. The Jackal should have the least range of all the guns.

Play marshall then, jackal is for guys who wanna play shotgun but cannot aim. If you can aim, there is no reason you should take the jackal over the marshall. Also, the marshall having more range than the jackal? LOL!

Edit: I call that balanced, the marshall is much harder to use, but once you are good at it, it is so much more rewarding than the jackal in every way. There isn't too much difference between a very good player playing the jackal, or a decent player playing it, but there is when it comes to marshall, OHK you live, 2hk(assuming the enemy is decent) you are dead.

After 1st sentence I wasn't even reading further.
Marshall is supposed to have better range if you didn't know.

IMO it's fine, I've been killed a few times with the Marshall since the patch, but 90% of the time they deserved the kill. No longer getting hosed by Jackals around every corner either... :/

Scar + Laser is still OP though. Everything else seems good so far, except maybe the Scarab being a bit weak.
