Lol @ Megatron

I feel bad for everyone that bought Megatron. Not because he isn't awesome... Because he's TOO awesome.

It's clear he's going to be nerfed, when kabam realized what they've done in giving everyone a completely immortal bot for AM. He's 10 times more broken than Ratchet.

Regen once every fight if needed, lol. Are you kidding me Kabam? Prepare yourself for the customer backlash when you realize how much that ability will cost you in energon for revive/repair.


Muuuuuahahahahahaaaaaaa!!! Muuuuuahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

    It honestly is baffling why Ratchet was nerfed when a signature like Megatron's exists.

    Kabam's entire argument about Ratchet being too OP in AM was that he was self-sustainable. How is Megatron any different?

    It should be noted though, for Megatron's signature to be truly OP, you would need a maxed out Signature. Otherwise, it's only a 10% health gain, which is negligible.

    Mines at 15.8% on signature 5.

    Yeah, I don't think it's that crazy OP (at least at the early levels). You still have to be pretty good to keep Megatron alive at the 10%-20% health range.

    But that said, it is Kabam so you never know.

    It's not really the same, Meg only gets health.

    Ratchet has access to Health AND Energy gain.

    Ratchet's signature ability had/has nothing to do with his Power Gain. That is one of his innate abilities. For the record too, when he did have Power Gain previously, he lost Attack Power. Megatron has a 10% permanent Armor Buff and gains Unstoppable for 4s when his health drops below 80%/60%/40%. Every attack he makes powers up his Heavy and L3 Special as well. Those are both pretty powerful abilities, especially when coupled with a threshold heal as a Signature.

    Guys, at max Sig he regens what... 50%?

    That means he essentially gets a full health bar every fight if you work it correctly and just let the AI smash you to bits right at the end of a round.

    If you want to protect your purchase, open your eyes and pressure kabam to leave him alone NOW not after, because I guarantee you a nerf is coming.

    You think it's coincidence they nerf Rat and release him right after?

    They'll release another Regen bot when they screw you on Megatron unless you stop the insanity.

    I'm not whining, I'm trying to get you to open your eyes. This is either evil genius level marketing or complete stupidity by kabam.

    Well, the bot intel suggests he regens 10-30%, so I doubt it's 50%.

    Kind of weird if Sig 5 is 15.8, since that's clearly not 10. Lol

    The other stupidity is... Megatron was released at the same time as the MM unblockable nerf and his is way worse. More idiotic Kabam balancing. New bots OP, used bots nerfed, people buy new bot, when new bot is old bot, it gets nerfed. Again, this kind of behavior is why I quit MCoC. I'm keeping a close eye on forged, as the Ratchet nerf feels like the first step down that ole familiar road...

    Stridurr, sig1 is probably 10. There's no mechanism in the game to get sig1 right now, but that doesn't mean the stats aren't coded in there. Kabam's flagship game (MCOC) has the same system but they have "awakening gems" and "rank up stones" or some such (haven't played since TFTF came out so I can't recall the names precisely), but each rank up stone provided 1 sig level, not 5, and you'd get them through event milestones etc. When there's a bigger roster of bots, I'm sure they'll introduce something similar here.

    Meanwhile, I don't understand why they seem to have something against regen. MCOC has loads of champs with heal effects. Wolverine, X23, Old Man Logan, Iron Man, Superior Iron Man, Iron Patriot, Ultron, the other Ultron, and pretty about half the champs released since March when I stopped playing. Ultron used to be the champ that everyone wanted to bring to AM for the exact reason Ratchet was a popular AM bot here: you could recover from small mistakes and extend the durability of the bot against enemies with much higher ratings than your own.

    It seems like they ought to have enough experience to know how to handle this issue, given they've been dealing with it for nearly 3 years.

    I don't think Ratchet was really OP in any game mode except AM. They could've given him an effective nerf just in that one game mode by giving bosses a special mod that nullifies repair buffs or something, leaving Ratchet as is for the rest of content without having him be this amazing Megatron killer. Frankly, every bot with repair will be popular in AM, so they're going to have to deal with this somehow: either don't have repair as a skill set, come up with some specialised AM specific nerf, or accept that repair makes AM much easier... but if they keep introducing bots then nerfing them when they're popular... player-sentiment wont be great

    The annoying thing that I have noticed is that in raids, he has the same AI like in story, where he constantly uses his heavy during unstoppable and it comes out much faster than say, Bludgeon's similar heavy.
