The Infantry Problem 2

[Bobo]

Too much semantics and logic it all became, too little focus on the topic. The poll says 31/49 think infantry is strong, ok or small changes are needed. 18/49 said it is underpowered. Maybe it's just that the infantry is more difficult to play than spamming projectiles, the score is low and there's much higher risk of death for it that it is not so entertaining, funny and rewarding. If that is the problem then inf will always be felt underpowered and not worth it by some (many?) players. But it's just the nature of this class to fight in close quarters with whatever negatives it involves.

The problem is Nords often advance in numbers and there's single inf against many enemies situation. To handle it easily the class would have be made crazy op. Just think about 1 vs 1 scenario and that says more about the power the class has. Also, if anyone thinks about soloing bosses then I'd say bosses are designed to be damn strong and I believe there shouldn't be any class or any gear able to deal against bosses alone. What bosses would they be then? (yeah I know ranged can do this if manage to stay away but that's about kitting and in theory one can kite anything on a proper map, let's leave it alone here).

PS. I can imagine the runs with all op inf one-hit slaying whatever comes near and then the threads begging for making ranged stronger for none plays them anymore. If you wanna try it join beginner, with good armour you can just stand among enemies and smile. Really boring.
