I have been mocking the trap perk a lot but lets face it, with the exception of blowing someone up instantly from the other side of the map what the most powerfull thing in ow?the salt…i mean mobility.
And what does trap do?it complety removes any mobility from the trapped enemy.completly busted i know and yet trap has been one of the worst abilities in the game
why?
Because u placed it.now in ow2 they buffed it and let us throw it, and it completly broke the game, i remember ppl causing riots over this, ppl lost their lives over this
Anyway lets look at his perks closely, just remember that trap is a completly busted ability with no counter play and that it has had a large cd and short range all of ow life precisely because its so op:
50%buff to anything is crazy and buffing one of the best abilities in the game by 50%surely is bonkers
Speed boost on the tire?great idea but since junk already has trap we should nerf tire dmg to compensate
40%speed increase on primary?hot damn!but…trap is so op we gotta reduce his clip size
Extra dmg and range on mine?ok but aint that to op?lets make so it only get buffed after u place the mine on a surface(ie missed an enemy)
I put it to u fellow degenerate junk mains that the trap perk is the best perk for junk(maybe best perk in the game), it does not have any drawbacks,no reduced dmg no reduced clip, nor does it have activation conditions, just throw it
Did i mention its a FIFTY PERCENT BUFF TO ONE OF THE STRONGEST ABILITIES IN THE GAME???
