I know, I've seen some other threads. But I need to get my point across, in a different sort of matter.

Did this weapon seriously only cop a nerf of -20 energy damage? This is ridiculous! 90 energy damage, plus the added energy drainage of another turn, plus a energy drone, is quite simply ridiculous.

And to add the fact that 66 top players will be running around with at least one by the end of this week. In all honesty, that is going to be a bloody gamebreaker. Seriously. My mech has been rendered OBSELETE by these builds. While my mech wasn't exactly a good mech, it settled with around a 65-70% win loss. Before this weapon came out.

Lets just do a little comparison.

Let me list some comparisons.

1. HP Damage. The Inferno Mark II, has a weak damage output, of 22-37. Which is alright, depending on how you use it. It used to be a widely used weapon, but again, has been rendered a little obselete. The Supernova? 68-90 damage. That is around 3 times the amount of damage!

2. Number of uses. Whilst the Supernova is nerfed as well in this regard, the Inferno has also been nerfed down to 2 uses. So effectively, the infernos 'max damage' it can give is 44-74, the Supernova still trumps it with 68-90.

3. Elemental damage. In my opinion, anything above 60 heat/energy damage is a little too OP. But the Supernova, as stated above, sits at 90 still. How was this possibly a nerf? All it did was subtract 20HP from the max amount of damage it can do! It still absolutely smashes most mechs, and enables the user to keep the enemy at 0 energy throughout the whole match. At least you can come back from some heat weapons, like the death punches, even though they're OP in their own regard.

4. The Range. The Inferno only has a range of 1, and because of that, it is easily outmatched by newcomers such as Flame Boots and Meltdown, as they do similar heat damage but more HP damage. The Supernova has a range of 4-6! Which means it will be of guaranteed use in any match, while the Inferno is a lot harder to use.

5. Legendary-Mythical. The Inferno, the most heat-damaging weapon, is only a legendary. If you are going to introduce a weapon such as the Supernova, at least release a counterpart? Actually. No. Don't do that. Very bad. But you get my point.

This weapon, needs to be nerfed to 70, at the absolute MINIMUM. It is far too OP, even with the first nerf. And I know lots of people still agree.

I put this in the Game suggestions tab so the poll could run, so please don't remove it mods! Looking at you Fluffy .-.

I like this, maybe nerf another weapon too
1. Death Punch
45 heat damage instead of 54 and 25 rockets usage instead of 20
2. Needle Blasters and Demolishers
added 5 heat generation :)

Make these items stronger, they re underpowered!
1.Rhino Boots
85 Damage instead of 80
2. Sector eye
Change the whole drone to looked like Evil Spark except different colour.
39 Explosive dmg
23 Heat dmg

you know, I came to this forum today to catch up on the philisophical musings of bestplayerintheworld. but this man. he is the true genius. never have I seen tits so perky yet he does not resign himself to bimbo-hood, he brings this highly volitile an pertinant issue to the limelight, and for this he deserves all the virgins he wants when allah calls him home.

If I werent already in a farily serious relationship with the gym sock I hide under my pillow I would seriously consider stalking this man.

tl;dr:

I voted yes or whatever.
