NS2HD[355] - Cyd v Team #156 G2/7 - Natural Selection 2 Beta

Wow, nice strat guys. Maybe that will need balancing, but not sure. It's pretty much an all-in for aliens on that. I think a sentry or two might stop it dead in its tracks.

@ 3:15

One lerk. Ah Ah Ah...

Two Lerk. Ah Ah Ah...

three Lerk. Ah Ah Ah...

FOUR LERK!

This is mostly down the the CC/Hive health nerf. Although it was already a problem before that.

No idea how to fix this other than making lerks do very little damage against buildings.

[megamarsvin]

@swalken I think that might already be the plan, spikes will be light damage type when damage types are fully implemented I bet.

[ScardyBob]

We suspected beforehand that a lerk rush would be good, but we didn't think it would be that good. CS died in under 10s. It'll definitely needs some balancing.

[wonderboy2402]

Well, this is Beta and the players are testing the mechanics. Now NS2 is aware of that issue and it will be balanced.

[Agora2021]

That was a pretty pro move.

Though probably is op.

[156McGlaspie]

Aye, we've talked about it before and decided to actually try it this time. Definitely needs to be looked at for balance tweaking.

@NaturalSelection2HD Nice Count von Count moment at 3:15 ;)

[TheNoalott]

Yup that is definitely unbalanced. But we had to try it just to see it!

[Zuriki09]

I'd had my suspicions about lerk spikes being OP vs Structures. I think this pretty much answers all my questions.

[PersianImm0rtal]

Dont worry there are some longer games coming too.

[InfernoGuy87]

lerk madness! loving it HD :)

[UberLithen]

That distraction lerk at 3:35 was quite good, not that it would have mattered :P

[scottcarey1]

Ugh boring lerk rush.

[elodens4]

game 2, why you so short too!

[reznoire]

beautiful.
