    So apparently Uber is totally going to keep supporting MNC.   

     -Time between Crossfire matches changed from 60 to 45 seconds
    -minimum number of players needed to start Crossfire changed from 8 to 6
    -custom bot spawner timer changed from 5 to 10 seconds.
    -changed message of the day.    

    Kind of surprised they didn't tweak any of the classes. At least there won't be anymore Gremlin or Gapshot spam.
     
    Now all we need a damn networking patch.

    I'll call it "still supporting" when they release new arenas. 
     
    My thoughts: 
     
    1 - Good 
    2 - Has never been an issue, so whatever 
    3 - No more gapshot spam! 
    4 - Meh. 
     
    The more I play the less I think the classes need tweaking.  People have gotten better.

    @C0V3RT: I don't think the classes need any sweeping changes, but I think the game would be better overall if a few values were tweaked just slightly.

    I would assume that will require a patch.

    Idk if Uber can or wants to do this, but they need to fix supports earning juice by healing each other.  The other day I went against a team with two medics.  They overhealed each other until they got juiced, then ran to our base, hacked the two rockit turrets on one side, and then planted their firebases right against the moneyball.  The game was over in 2 minutes.  It was bullshit.

    Supports can get juice by healing anyone. ?
     
    Maybe they could make it so the overcharge doesn't drain as long as a support is healing someone, that way they can't continually get juice as it drains and they fill it up again. They'd at least have to work at it by waiting for it to drain someone and then reconnecting the stream.

    @Infininja: Yeh but with only one support, they can't do the strategy I wrote about.  And don't eliminate juice entirely when healing another support, but lower the rate, at least.

    @Damien: I guess my point was yes they could do the strategy. They could just heal somebody else.

    @Infininja: I didn't see your edit.  To that I respond, that would only lead to perpetually overhealed gunners and tanks, which would be even more unbalanced.  What they should do is not allow juice to be earned by a support via overhealing a player more than once, unless the player getting healed is taking damage from enemies.  But idk, if Uber can change that through the live updates.
     
    To your second reply, yeh only one support can do that but then it becomes significantly easier to take it out.  One less hacked turret, one less firebase in the base "spawn camping", not being continuously healed by the other support.  See what I'm saying?

    @Damien:  It wouldn't lead to perpetually overhealed gunners at all.  Currently, I believe, the overcharge still drains even while the support is healing a player.  Effectively the player has a constant full overcharge as long as the heal gun is still attached to them, but the support player keeps getting juice because technically the overcharge is draining by a small increment and then immediately getting charged again by the support player.  My proposal (if it really is a problem with supports getting too much juice) is to have the overcharge not drain only when the support is still healing the player and the player is not taking damage.  The overcharge would drain, as normal, as soon as the support stopped healing.  It would not drain as long as he was healing (they would still get hurt like normal though).  This means the support wouldn't get any juice for healing an overcharge player as long as that player wasn't getting hurt.  Functionally, the game would work exactly the same minus giving supports some juice. 

     
    If I need to explain it better tell me.  It's actually pretty similar to what you said, but they could still get juice by overhealing a player more than once, as long as they stop healing the player, wait for it to drain, and then start again.
     
     
    On the second point. My point was removing supports being able to get juice from each other wouldn't change the strategy at all, besides being able to sit in the safe zone. So yes, there could still be two supports with juice with two firebases and two hacked turrets in the base, they'd just have to heal other players to earn it. Maybe that's more fair, I'm not sure.

    They should patch the announcer to just say BUILD TURRETS over and over again throughout the entire match.

    But then I couldn't win any more by taking out the two measly default rocket turrets at the enemy base!

    They should patch the game to get rid of snipers. Snipers are all arseholes and cowards.  
     
    Also patch the gunner's mortar to make it vaguely useful.

    The gunner's mortar is the best thing to take out turrets with.

    Oh man thank you for opening my eyes! 
     
    I remember trying it out when I first got the game and deciding it wasn't nearly as effective at mowing down hordes of my enemies as the minigun(s) (which is isn't) and to never use it again but I tried it out against turrets in my last few matches and it's amazing how quickly some well placed shots take out even far away turrets. AMAZING.
