why ban deka, they can be easily countered

Oh, nice one! Would be nice to see how NA's playing. If there's gonna be a stream - please, be sure to provide the link here.

ok as much "lol @banning things in a game meant to be competitive" as i'd love to be right now-

why ban deka, they can be easily countered

the only outright counters to deka are clones (emp blob) and arc (emp nade)

the issue: empnade can be pushed, the arc can be oneshot and removed from the equation

there is no issue with using clone for this because clone is literally overpowered as hell

jedi "counters" deka in the sense that if they're bad and dumb they let them get close and jedi damage is enough to like 2-3 shot them but nothing about jedi is setup to explicitly counter deka (except maybe mt)

 

[chicknman]

Deka shouldn't be in the game

snip

deka cry

git gud and limit classes to one per team

 

[Pepsi]

Deka shouldn't be in the game

why lol? Deka is literally the most useless class in scrim.

Useless organics find their tools useless.

 

[Chaos the Chaotic]

Dont recognize any of these names. Guess I should start playing more.

 

[Sanic]

git gud and limit classes to one per team

lol

deka is at the point right now where it's either completely useless (arc/clone on enemy team) or ridiculously strong (literally anything else)

there is literally no inbetween. stop citing "git gud" over shit you know nothing about.

why lol? Deka is literally the most useless class in scrim.

why's it banned then lol

Deka is banned because that one class requires you invest a player slot explicitly towards countering it (And that counter can be potentially killed/rendered useless by push/sniping)

If the enemy team has a deka, you absolutely must invest people to deal with that shit. You don't need that for bh, you don't need that for sbd, you don't even need that for jedi. Deka is in a ridiculous state where if you don't have people specifically designated to shut it down then it will run rampant and out turtle pretty much anything. The moment you have people to deal with it deka becomes, by definition, worthless.

It hits the point where the enemy team always runs arc/clone as a safeguard/predictive counter in case the enemy team runs deka, which basically means those arcs/clones have to waste points into emp when they could have better things like scope, dex, or ammo, and the people playing clone/arc could potentially be playing something like sold/hero instead. It ruins the diversity of your options by making it so that 1-2 slots must always be dedicated as "just in case" counterpicks towards deka, when no other class in the game NEEDS you to have a designated counterpick to deal with.

You don't need to switch off of jedi to deal with wookiees. Red style does that well enough. SBDs don't need you to switch off of sold/hero, you can outplay or snipe them with what you already have. If you're running ammo/cc1 on sold and you're having issues with jedi, you don't need to switch class just to get frag nades to deal with them. Every other class in the game can be countered/planned against using whatever class you want. That isn't the case with deka because of how powerful it is up until you emp it, at which case it becomes worthless and dies seconds later.

Get good.

You know you're on the MB2 forums when a simple announcement about a scrimmage between two clans that'll be a fun match to watch suddenly turns into a fucking balance debate.

I'll tune in to watch the scrim, sounds like a fun time.
