Percy needs nerf

Postby UnHappyPenguin » 08 Aug 2016, 05:56

Well it kinda does, it beats land units (t3 and t4) in the game mass - mass e.g. 22 percies - 1 GC
Many say its "faction diversity" but percies break the game because a properly micro'd percy destroys any unit due to its alpha damage.
I hope that this is taken seriously because vsing a uef player isn't fun after they turtle and t3 rush

You can always change tactic. If you can see it coming, play them into the pocket and then sink them.

Witty kack
all t4 units lose to their equiv t3 unit
Percy is designed to fight off early spider and etc and is better suited for fighting big units that cannot dodge
someone with terrible harb micro could beat a percy
also snipers (heu)

just get good pls <3

The Percy gets over used to buggery by UEF players, because of the Titan's distinct lack of viability against it's equivalent level units. Why hasn't the Titan seen any improvement? Well because of "faction diversity" - and because it is argued that the UEF has an awesome AAB in the Percival...

The fact of the matter is that the Percival is slow, and it is also by necessity the only thing which UEF has in the T3/T4 stage. Whether it be against Rhino's, or Obsidians, or Illshavoh, or Loyalists, or Harbingers, or Othuums, or Bricks, or Monkeylords, or Chicken Bots, or Galactic Colossus, or Megaliths... The answer is always the same. Percivals.


It is the one good thing which the UEF has against all of these threats and this greatly reduces tactical diversity when playing UEF. The simple fact of the matter is that nerfing the Percival is simply not acceptable unless UEF is given other options - and considering how good those T3 and T4 units are, and also how long it has taken to see any improvement in the Titan. (Which frankly hasn't been seen yet, and is something UEF has been needing for years). You must recognise that the dominant strategy with UEF in the current meta is getting to T3 ASAP, and spamming this one viable unit which UEF has.

That's completely wrong point. UEF t1/t2 units land are worse then their analogues in other factions. That's practicly the whole concept of UEF where you have worse early game and better late game. I would argue that percival beats any unit.

In 1v1 aeon will destroy UEF with harb rush just because Titan is shit and Percival is too expensive and slow. Cybran have better land units till the Percival-Brick match up. Not to mention that Brick is not a lot worse than Percival and than Cybran have 2 land direct fire experimentals and rambo SCU that is incredibly strong against t3 land units. If you survive long enough to have decent Percy army and economy competitive to enemy, you deserve to win.

In team games you can use sniper bots and use air player's power to make rambo SCUs which can fight Percies better than t3 land units.

Now about experimentals. You see, UEF have no direct fire experimental. AT ALL. How do you think UEF has to counter Spiderbot or GC? Titans :o ? Percival is UEF answer to enemy T4.

Percy nerf will kill UEF land alltogether.
