Ridiculously unfair stuff in multiplayer

[maddawg IAJI]

The plasma gun in Tribes: Ascend for about the five days before they fixed it. Your hitbox for the purposes of that thing hitting you was something along the lines of three to four times that of normal.
But then they fixed it and I was happily doing well in Arena again. Still a bit of a pain to play against, but nothing so insurmountable as it was before they fixed it.

People who intentionally cause lag in CTF of the same game. Pathfinder comes in and grabs the flag under guise of lag and you don't even get told about it until he's teleported 1/4 the way back to his base.

The Plasma was way OP for a while, but I still have a huge issue (as a new player) with the Juggurnaut. Only class that can one-hit kill (with skill mind you) with the 2nd highest health. Every other class needed 3 or 4 hits. He needs a near miss.

OT: League of Legends has had the FAMOUS FIVE. The five champions that were so gamebreaking overpowered that every game was "if you have them, you win. If they have them. Queue dodge. If he is banned, you're fine"

#5 Release day LeBlanc
One shot capable on any champ starting at Level 6.

#4 Old Shaco
Lower cooldowns and higher damage on a champ still considered to be one of the best junglers in the game.

#3 Beta Heimerdinger
5 turrets. Nuff said.

#2 Release day Xin Zhao
Top players set kill records, as he was capable of 1 v 5ing your entire team.

#1 Beta Twisted Fate
His global teleport? 16 seconds cooldown on his E. His W? AN AREA OF EFFECT 2 SECOND STUN! His ult? GLOBAL SLOW AND REVEAL.

You forgot pre-nerf Evelyn and Twitch, especially Eve, who had one of the fastest jungles in the game, unmatched ganks due to her invisibility, a speed steroid and an on hit stun.

The reason they're not on the list is because two items destroy them both. If you have an elixir or a vision ward, and see them before they start their attack run, they're both squishy as hell.

Yes, but at the time of Eve and Twitch's hey day, they were some of the fastest and most powerful jungelers in the game and could gank quickly and effectivly largely because no one has had time to back for vison wards and no one is gonna sink money in a oracles in the early game D:

No one said this yet? Yay i'll be the first .

WESKER!
WESKER!
WESKER!

Really anyone that uses Wesker in UMVC3 doesn't care for a fair fight . Best tip i have recieved for dealing with wesker is , don't get hit ... EVER .

LOL. A month ago, I was hanging out with some friends at my University, watching the friend of a friend (who I shall call Guy A) play against some other guy (who I didn't know, but will call Guy B) in UMVC3, and he was wrecking face with his team of Wesker - whatever he felt like - whatever he felt like.
He won 70 fucking matches in a row with Wesker - ??? - ???. After 20 matches of playing normally with a team he knew how to use, he decided to switch up his 2nd and 3rd to Phoenix Wright and Rocket Raccoon. He had NO IDEA how to use these two characters, but as he was playing, he was figuring out shit, and he actually made them pull their weight and work! Until then, he would lose both those characters, and then rape face with Wesker.
The craziest match, was around 50ish, when he lost Pheonix really early, and had RR get focussed down. So all he had was a 100% Wesker against a full team with 60% - 100% - 80%. Shock and surprise, he still won. He had 10% health and had used every ultimate he had, but he still finished the game with his super ultimate (you can tell I play this game a lot, herp derp) and made it look easy. It was fucking insane.

Unbalanced things:
Feral DPS at any point of wotlk to early cata in any setting
Prot Pallies in early cata in any setting
Frost Mages after Blizzard broke Druid shapeshifting
The spawning system in any CoD after MW2
MK14, Type 95, dual FMG, PP90, and hip firing in general, all in MW3
Quickscoping in any CoD after CoD4
Captain Falcon in Brawl, or a player that knows how to use Sonic
Dual SBP90s in TS2
Certain broken spots that players can go in Reach's Infection mode
Atlas in Mech Assault
Firebats in any setting in Starcraft 1
3/3 Speedlings with crack upgrade in any setting in Starcraft 2
Sturm in Advance Wars 2
War Tanks in Days of Ruin
Fucking Anti-Tank units in Days of Ruin
Grit + Ultimate + Battleships

And I think that is all I can think of at the moment.

Engie nests.

Well not really since im an expert on busting them but still they do slow the game down like a *****.

This, couldn't there be something that prevents engies all building too close together? Or would this just unbalance the game? I don't know.

No, don't stop it..! The second cap of the second level of Dustbowl is absolutely beautiful..! Every time I walk up to the rock on the left while playing offense and launch two lnl nades at the same fucking corner by their spawn without even having to look and getting over 5 destructions and 2 kills with the one volley, I cry a single tear of joy.

In fact, any time my team gets shut down by that boring old corner sentry nest, I die a little inside. It's so fucking easy to wreck that it's not a single problem when I'm on server, because I'm the one willing to walk up and nade that shit down, whether I'm being gunned down or not. Targe + lnl = dead engies

Hahaha! I've never even tried that, I'm going to have to go play and see if I can't use that tactic to bolster my score!

 

[Bat Vader]

The very rare times I did PVP in WoW was annoying because every time the player I was facing would jump around. I don't know if it is considered unfair but I consider it really annoying.

 

[Kopikatsu]

All I'm going to say is that Sniper classes/weapons do not belong in competitive multiplayer.

 

[Lugbzurg]

Actually, what I think is very unfair is the point always going to the person who killed you. It should go to whoever dealt the most damage to you. Not necessarily the one who finished you off.

 

[legendp]

Gonna have to go with the Banshee in Halo Reach. It can be countered with a Scorpion or a Falcon, but on the maps where they aren't around that thing can be a real pain in the rear, dive bombing people and fliping around like the pilot has ADHD which makes it impossible to hit with anything other than a SPARTAN laser, and can instakill you with ease. Oh yeah, can the Guass Warthog.

Yes. Fuck guys to take the Banshee at the beginning of every game and proceed to use it for the rest of it. I even see people wait until they respawn so they can get dibs on them. It is one of those very rare instances where I'm tempted to team kill.

Also, this is most likely beaten to death, but the Ghost perk on Black Ops. Also using Lesnar on UFC. You're really just going to keep it on the ground game? Speaking of wrestling, people who use Randy Orton on WWE 12. His Punt finisher is unblockable! Totally unfair.

I think the banshees are actually rather easy to kill (perhaps even too easy to kill), Plasma grenade, or plasma pistol, sniper them, even just shoot at them with the assault rifle or hijack them. Granted I use the banshees as well so I know all the tricks. Personally I think they are very easy to take down, as long as you have a bit of strategy and don't just charge at it head first. I also use always stick a anti air rocket as my secondary in MW2 so I never had a problem with air vehicles (infact I liked them because they were easy kills)

 

[Snotnarok]

Pompson in TF2, infinite ammo, rounds pierce players and hit them more than once and saps 10% uber charge from medics and 20% cloak from spies.

What's the negative here? Right there is none. OP as hell.

 

[legendp]

The Banshee/Scorpion in Halo 3. Such a *****.

In Reach they toned the Banshee down quite a bit by making it a lot less agile and easier to kill with small arms fire. Scorpion's still an asshole, though. I mean, come on, Bungie. I'm on the Elite team in Invasion and I'm supposed to kill a tank that has an ultra accurate infinite range super fast insta kill cannon.....with my purple turtle tank that slowly lobs globs of plasma?

Get out of your tank shoot it with a overcharged plasma pistol (which disables it) and then shoot purple blobs at it. or alternatively commandeer it.

The only thing I can think of as unfair are what many refer to as nube tubes (so annoying). And an someone with an empty rocket launcher and an energy sword halo2 was pretty dangerous (but that was more of a glitch).

The RTS game BFME2 was almost perfectly balanced except the dwarves heroes who could take on a whole army single handed, they seemed overpowered.

Yeah, they need to nerf the damage. It's just a massive upgrade over the shotgun with almost no downside (slower reload time maybe?). I feel terrible for using it, but when I'm defending the base on my own (or with one other person) as an Engie, that Uber and cloak drain is amazing. I'd still use it if they cut the damage in half.

It also seems to me that there isn't as much damage falloff over distance with the Pomson.

They should just remove the uber and cloak draining, medics have it hard enough with every class targeting their faces. If there'll be a uber draining item it should be like the ubersaw, where there's a risk in stealing uber.

 

[Kanatatsu]

Everything about Dark Souls multiplayer was horseshit.

And the ending was such a slap in the face I will never forget it.

 

[IrateDonnie]

I don't like MP games like Halo that spawn "power weapons" it seems like there will be 3-4 people always waiting for the Spartan Laser or Rocket launcher to spawn.
Also the holiday themed maps in TF2 really piss me off, it sucks trying to get the "gifts" & a Scout runs in & grabs it.... I'm still missing a couple of the old paper masks that I'll never get.

 

[luke10123]

EA's servers

Seriously every time I've play the ME multiplayer recently I get kicked off the server in the last 30 of the match


AAAHHHHHHHHH!

Don't know about anyone else, but I stopped playing after the store completely stopped working for me - it just kept stealing my hard earned money and giving me nothing. Now THAT was unfair...

 

[Arawn]

Alot of MP aren't completely balanced. But what gets worse is when I', thrown online game where everyone is higher level by a huge margin. With a RPG like leveling system, you'd think these games would give noobs some slack and keep them grouped together until they learn the ropes. Nothing sucks more in a online game when you're playing against a guy at max level and has been playing since the midnight release.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

The KV in World of Tanks. When you see one, you know that you are royally screwed. It has the speed of a Soviet tank, the armor of a German tank, and the raw power of a French tank. It can one shot almost any tank below it, and several tanks above it, and the way matchmaking is set up, you'll see one in most games between tier 3 and 7 (it being tier 5). Glad to finally be away from it? That's okay, meet the tier 7 KV-3, an upgrade!

The problem with the KV which is being fixed is that it is a tier 5 tank stats wise and no engine is shit on it and highly prone to fire but has 2 OP guns for its tier and thus also gets ridiculous places in MM. I've gotten games where everyone was a higher tier but arty. After the next patch it will be a fine and balanced tank. Even now I'd take my PZIV or SU85B over the KV any day.

So after 7.3 all should be right with the BDR having the best gun and the KV only having better over all armour.

KV isn't particularly terrible, given that it has weaksauce armor (75mm top, if I remember right). Most guns from t4 and up can take that. The trick is to not let them see you, which I'll admit can be hard, but unless you're in a similarly oversized outhouse on tracks, you'll see him before he sees you.

Either way, as a player who both has a KV and regularly fights against them, the engine blows, the tank likes to light on fire, it almost ritualistically is matched vs tier 8 and 9 tanks, and while the 107 is the almighty godstick, you'll get ruined if more than one respectable tank shows its face. KV hunting in my m3 lee was perhaps the funniest thing I've had the chance to enjoy outside of the panzer 2 wolfpacks.

Well I don't find the KV a problem unless it has derp loaded in I want to hit it with my sword range given that I know its weaknesses as I do play it myself. Although everything with it should be peachy in the next patch as I said. For me as well given that I play a fair bit of TD damage(Russian and German) Alpha damage and pen aren't a big deal to me.

I haven't played in a couple months (so things have probably changed quite a bit), but when I was running the KV I thought it easily one of the weakest T5's. It's weight meant that I got regularly stuck in games where I couldn't even hurt the opposing tanks. I was edgy and decided to not go KV-2. The damn thing was slow enough as it was, plus that massive turret is a huge 'shoot me' sign. I've killed a few KV's because they thought they were hiding behind a hill, but that turret....anyway, I thought going the S54 would keep me out of the higher tiers (experience gained from killing them in my Tiger), but nope. And cause the S54 sucks, the KV-1S wasn't much fun to play until I got the 85mm.

I regularly took down M3's in my PzIII with the L60, though. Fun times, particularly the one where I slugged it out with an M3 with the long 75, front armour to front armour. Killed him good.

Well it is getting changed to bring it more in line with other tier 5 tanks but if you had have gotten the KV 2 turret you would know what I mean. Now the derp gun may only fire ~2 rounds a minute with .69 accuracy if you use AP against your tier it is with question an instant kill. No ifs, ands or buts. The HE on it can damage tier nine and ten tanks detracking them in 1 shot easily and doing between 200-300 points of damage. The other gun is basically a slightly less power sniper version of it so with those 2 guns and using them the KV is certainly OP if it gets in a decent match.

That said I would agree with you general but it is being fixed well hopefully it is being fixed in the next update.

Biotic Charge or whatever it's called in mass effect 3.

Just spam that shit all the time and watch as your shields never go down.

Until you run into a Banshee and she just shrugs it off before insta killing you.

 

[Trifixion]

For me it's got to be the Invasion system in Dark Souls 60% of the time. Basically you use an item and you enter a random person's game world and try to murder the fuck out of him for lolz.

...and this is why I always play Dark Souls and Demons Souls offline. Because I really do not need the "helpful" messages people leave and I can handle the bosses without assistance from Blue Phantoms...but I really do not enjoy being gang-tackled by one Black Phantom invading after another after another after another...of course if you beat one of them - no matter how you do it - they always start sending you messages about how you suck and you cheated, etc. If they manage to kill you, however...well, expect to see it up on Youtube, shown from their perspective, in a video entitled "pwning n00bs" or something similar.

He's right you know. Spamming Charge+Nova in silver or gold seems to result in failure.

Personally I reckon the Geth Engineer with Revenant is pretty ludicrous. Or the Krogan Sentinal who has promised to never die.
