The fact they thought making a mech with almost the highest hp in the game have 36km speed is actually insane. They may as well give surge 300k hp and make his emp last for 20 seconds now.
Design is cool but the ability is lackluster as usual, it's just a stats mod like most of their recent mechs. Boost dmg this reduce dmg that, freeze this slow that. They need a better dev team to improve their game mechanics and start implementing more sophisticated/creative abilities, rather than just shuffling numbers.
A close range build could be useful with this. Get in close to get tick damage as well as that burst damage with a close range of choice, will definitely check it out
@@abdurrahmanbinomer9202 Man i spun it five times and still didn't get it. Should i spin it again twice or save for Eclipse? What do you think? (I am at 1200 rn)
Reminder that it is in fact power creep, not Anti sniper. Why didn't they just make a mech that can have armor that is resistant to only sniper class weapons? This is power creep DISGUISED as anti-sniper. Vortex is anti EVERYTHING.
@@pogsterplays Thats too broad, you need to see why it's unstoppable the second it pushes a beacon, and you can't do anything because he's ignoring 50 of your damage.
@@pogsterplays yes, you don't need anecdotal experience to understand statistical comparison. I base this on a presumption that it is only one mech against one mech. A team is certainly able to counter this mech, but alone, you're not stopping that beacon from being captured.
Purely based on the look of the mech I would have called Bulkhead. Though even the ability works with the name. Adding resistance to its self and nearby teammates. It could see it being a special skin in the future. It seems too strong. Calling it now, the speed boost may be nerfed to 50%. Only after P2W get their glory time of course.
Scape, the true Chad, running Carbine on it 😎 I think a lot of public perception is based on the idea of comparing this mech with its ability, against other mechs *without* their abilities, which is just skewed
Fair point. In reality, the ability is primarily what defines the mech. Sure you have stats, but many mechs have 24 energy and hp is generally less valued in play. So the speed and ability are what makes or breaks most mechs. This ability has so much general use and solid team play in the meta if used wisely. I really think this mech is neat and I feel like they handled the design well so far. I haven’t played it much in the meta yet though.
I'm not a tank guy in M.A. but this would be a tank i'd like. Also i'm not a skin collector but for this mech a legend skin that would be funny is an Amazon box skin. Would be nice if Amazon would team up and everyone can take advantage of the team up event Amazon client or not
I was vondering what Vorrtex and what Repeaters were mentioned in the update log when I was updating the game. Well now I know a bit more about one of them. Cool to see another Anti-grav (need a 5th one to play the floor is lava and float around the arena). Also, is it me, or his "cabin" looks a bit like Zephyr's but with more armor plating?
Was this mech sponsored by Monster Energy drink? Just asking because of the default skin. Looks like a fun mech to play. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Awesome review! I wanted to ask a question. I have a similar build with my pilot and storm rack. I have splash, legendary reload for storm rack reload and legendary ability cooldown. Should the last slot be storm rack damage, ability duration or legendary radius? I have all 3. Many thanks!!
I feel like it should get a bit of a "nerf" where it's speed increase is only 50% but implants that increase the speed are added so if you want to make scouts look slow you need to sacrifice an implant slot
no this only has 2 implants - increase damage done to enemies in the radius and increase the radius. Personally I dont find either to be worth using...
@@scape211 im curious if he is one shot-able with his skill active, stalker with Em might not be able to, but orion might still hold the title as one shot king
Hey scape, yt unsubscribed me from you before your puma loadouts video. I dont know if this will have happened to other people on your channel, but I wanted to let you know
So I’m just starting to play after a few months and this mech looks AWESOME the devs releasing to much OP stuff made me stop that and acoins being hard to get for a part time player.
@leonardotrujillo8661 when don't you have to spend a ton of money? I find mechs and weapons that match my play style, I enjoy their style or ability, and can play well on CPC. So this will be the first "tank" (gate crasher was close, but just too slow) I can spend a ton of money on. LoL!
@@leonardotrujillo8661 Update: just paid $54.99 for him at 3 star. Lucked out on my last roll. Or I would have paid another $54.99. Update: just paid another $65 to upgrade him to 5 star. First test run with a railgun 16, probably cheating, but let's gooooo! Ok, last update: glad I spent the money, I just luck out it was payday! Probably will pair him with embergun, or another close quarters weapon. Good luck to you!
@@leonardotrujillo8661I thought you'd like to know, if you really want to invest: I just put repeaters on Vortex, and it's a beast. I wait till they think they can capture the center blue beacon, then pop out with the Vortex. Hit the nano bots field and shred them. Vortex is 6 stars, but not purple yet. And I'm only using repeater 8's. And repeaters 10's and 12's are coming soon!
@@WatchSicarioWin ah yes one game breaking stat after another. They are not innovating and adding anything new they are LITERALLY just playing with stats and making a new mech model. Even the effect of the "micro robot field" looks silly and doesn't fit the style of the game, they just made it up so it excuses the lame low effort laziness from the dev team. A tank thats faster than scouts? PERFECT!!!!111!!!11! A tank thats capable of 566,790 HP???? PERFECT~! Anti sniper means anti everything.
@@WatchSicarioWin devs def wont do it bsc they want players to spend money on this op mech in 1-2 month they will add new mech which is better than all the goddamn mechs in game🤣
if this could heal instead of dealing damage it would be the M.D. 2.0 but regardless I will get it and it will be a great support in my hanger that damage reduction is great and the speed boost will be nice for Control Points
So... basically Bricky boi but DMG reduction + nomad mobility, maybe too op but the devs be cooking. The new weapon -Repeaters should be as interesting no
The Literal ONLY Buff I want for vortex is -1 seconds for ability cooldown... For starters its 13 seconds, which is very very long... 12 is a bit better. And 13 is a bad number lmao.
This mech is awesome. It does a lot of new things. The design and creativity is some of the best. His ability is new and this being a tank with a possible 36km speed, is insane. I think a legendary ability cooldown alone can make this mech so OP for a tank but at the same time I don't think its completely broken becoz well placed shots can deal heavy dmg to him still. I also agree with the changing meta from attacker mechs during the removal of second copies and addition of mechs like stalker to scouts like surge, eclipse and redeemer, to tanks like bastion, aegis and now vortex. Now I would wish to see some support mechs in the mix as well becoz rn I think there are almost none
THANK YOU, finally someone called it out. Plarium is trying so hard to add as much into the game without innovating new mechanics into the engine. Instead of improving or changing old mechs, the lead manager or whoever directs the content is forced to try and increase profits for that sweet quota and sell us a different mech. God I have NO idea where this one's going.
From now on, I'm calling Vortex, "The Turtle" One of the reasons I think they made Vortex is because shield are almost useless now. Flashing back to Storm Racks, they deal 50% extra damage to (most) shields, and as a result, tanks with shields like Bastion, Sentinel, Ares, Juggy, they kind of lose a bit of their durability when faced with Storm Racks. Vortex doesn't rely on a shield though, there isn't a shield HP bar, and it gets a passive 50% damage reduction when the ability is activated. Plus, it also works on allies too. Its amazing, Plarium outdid themselves with this one. Still though, doubt F2Ps can get it with a free token lmao. Probably the best strat is to either use Vortex to brawl, or use it to support early game midpoint rushers, like Killshot, Surge, Nomad (Nomad also gets a damage reduction, wonder how tanky it'll be combined with Vortex.), since maps like Skyship (2)11 and Site 313 have only 3 control points, and the center's a huge hotspot. So rushing in with Vortex may help. I don't know though, I'm not a CC or a high squad power player. And that's it, thank you for listening to my TED Talk again.
I feel as thought to make full use of his ability, he would do best with mid-long to mid-short range weapons. Unlike most mechs, he has an abikity that buffs himself and teammates, thoughin exchange the only obstacle enemies have to overcome is keeping their distance. Perhaps this would shin in close quarter maps. Also, heck yea that design is cool! He is a literal floating fortress!
Imagine just capping a point and seeing a floating castle rushing against you faster than any scout in the game
Aw hell naw im already imagining bots using this just speeding thru around the field 💀💀
Lol😂😂
@@animasaha69 This is funny?!?! You will not be laughing when your win/battle ratio plummets because of this thing.

Its very good but i wish the game was balanced with the juggernaut actually being a juggernaut like back in the day
The fact they thought making a mech with almost the highest hp in the game have 36km speed is actually insane. They may as well give surge 300k hp and make his emp last for 20 seconds now.
To make the game totally p2w hell yeah
surge is still quite viable and could take this guy down imo.
lmao I meant the last statement as "they may aswell ruin the entire game"
I love seeing new unique mechs in this game

When storm rack 8 1star or 2star sale begin? Or only 12 that they intend to do
Soon, they are waiting to start the winter events and then sell old stuff.
now we need a good healer and the combo will be insane
Another few hundred dollars if you wanna get this robot, upgrade fully, so you would have a chance to enjoy, because of all maxed bots 😂
OOOh, they finaly made damage reduction tehnique. Alright, Loki is now even more viable
Nomad: *Am I a joke for you?*
😂
Loki was codename for orion
If the ability goes through walls then itd be perfect for Certain maps :D
imagine having a max vortex with dual minigun 12s and you just see that monster wreaking mayhem to the arena lol
Finally, a worthy tank. It's usage will be legendary.
😄😄
He looks like area and arachnos but flying, I feel bad for people who have arachnophobia
you are doing a good job thank you
Have to say, actually good mech. Might log in…
What will happfn when he meets redox using his ability?
can u increase the ammount of damage reduction? are there implants for that?
no this only has 2 implants - increase damage done to enemies in the radius and increase the radius. Personally I dont find either to be worth using...
@@scape211 im curious if he is one shot-able with his skill active, stalker with Em might not be able to, but orion might still hold the title as one shot king
new mechs make guardian mandatory. these abilities r insane.
How do I get the test sever?
I have it too need to upgrade
Looks amazing!
Hey scape, yt unsubscribed me from you before your puma loadouts video. I dont know if this will have happened to other people on your channel, but I wanted to let you know
What do you think scape about the Eclipse? What should I go with, Eclipse or Redeemer or Orion?
Eclipse is generally considered better than redeemer and Orion. The order from best to worst for me would be eclipse, Orion, redeemer
So it looks like a mix between arachnos and redox two mechs known for being low hp
And it's a tank 😶
Edit: and both are slow but this thing is zoomin
Paragon but legendary so more buff
Paragon: so should i leave my job
So I’m just starting to play after a few months and this mech looks AWESOME the devs releasing to much OP stuff made me stop that and acoins being hard to get for a part time player.
2x speed chungus can't wait to get it in a year as f2p
This is perfectly balanced
Eclipse ability speed + surge floating + redox caustic blast = VORTEX
I will make the prediction that Payrium will nerf this bot once the new sales and upgrading by whales settles...
what if 2 mechs together?does it stack or not?i assume not.
I think ruffles is testing this
To bad it doesn't heal as well we need another healer but he is cool
It looks kool😊
Brick house’s long lost Dad is back 💭
