I knew the community wasnt gonna be happy with this update when i see they nerfed the AR but buffed Minigun and Paintball. It feels like they just do this to make more people buy their bundles which isnt working since now everyone is just using sniper or RPG. So what they put in the changelog about the "weapons diversity" is not happening. But as you say, lets give them some time, i hope they can fix this. Great video!
dude this is the BEST rivals update explanation i ever watched,kept it short straight to the point and gave examples and suggestions loved that gained my sub
5:49 I dont think the balance changes were mistakes, they know what they were doing bc nobody buys heavy guns bundle. so what did they do? nerf balanced weapons and buff to the roof guns that are in bundles to earn more money
the paintball is unbelievably broken with the blinding mechanic. Obviously the rocket launcher is too, the rocket launcher is now the best one shot weapon in the game. If you use the sniper you have worse movement and higher aim requirement. If you use the rocket launcher you have INFINITE grenade jumps AND one shot capability with zero aim requirement.
the rocket-launcher seems pretty fair to me, theres still some counter play to it, the thing is the granade launcher, i think they should make the granades not explode on impact and have a time on it to explode, that would make going for pre-fires and direct hits more rewarding
I still feel like the exogun changes was more of a nerf than a buff because I only use exogun because I do not have to be accurate with my shots and they only buffed the exogun damage by 4 and decreased the surrounding hit by 18 now I find it unusable
you didnt mention the paintball gun as something that needs to be changed though. I feel like the paint splashing in the middle of your screen when you get dinked is really unfair and op, cause if you can consistently hit a decent amount of headshots then its literally just an infinite flashbang
i quite when they added sbmm and now what im getting from this is they buffed p2w wepons more and made normal wepons worse then added gamemodes to try and cover up the bad changes
What rivals needs is more cover cause I can never push enemies on splash with a sniper its so annoying or even on crossroads all they do is hide at the edge of the map with a sniper
I don't understand why they want to make secondaries weaker just because they aren't the primary weapon. personally i think the handgun and uzi were fine and were mostly used to finish off a fight rather than being your main source of damage. and the damage fall off changes just make it so weapons like the sniper will dominate on maps like crossroads even more.
@@twin_towers_destroyer flashbangs aren't a long range utility. Long range map, only 1 long range weapon so far so you use that on big crossroads. just rush in through tunnels with ar also works.
They secretly buffed the rpg by making it kill on direct hit cuz it still 3 shots. I know that u are still higher hp than before if you get hit twice but holy.
lowkey the speed glitch and rpg is what made rivals fun (to me) because... **haha speeding around the map go BRRRR** butmaybe they can add a speed potion type item. that boosts your speed for 4 seconds like chainsaw does
personally i really like every decision. making secondaries less good was a much needed change and weapon dropoff makes larger maps easier to play in and sniper more special. i dont like some changes but with time i think they should be able to figure it out.
as an rpg user, i feel that the rpg is waaay too op, rpg boosting to get close and then direct hitting is now a viable strategy, and i have seen many people commenting that it is "noob", and i do not know to agree or not. Noisiy pls fix
The minigin has gone way too overseen in this update. They buffed it so hard, and has by far the bear dps at range. It's literally just a better AR right now
WHICH IS A GREAT THING the bow shoots very fast and would be too toxic if u could just two shot someone. i main the bow and i feel like its in a great spot rn. good mixture of strong gun but still skill and aim needed to win
@@apex_dreadfull6189 yes I myself also think that the bow is a little too powerful, either you triple jump with fist, fly and give an -80 to the opponent's hp, or you could spam the shit out of it. But the alpha damage must not be nerfed as it makes the bow unique, they could nerfed the fuck out of its mobility, take away the double jump or makes its reload longer by 3 seconds and ill still use it
I so badly want to say get rid of the rpg instakill, but dear god it’s so fun to rocket jump in, rpg direct hit and rocket jump back out for the cleanest hit and run of your life
in my opinion they should make the sniper have more stability, what i mean by that is the sniper goes crazy when you dont aim. I want it to "curve" after at least 50 or 70 studs, this will make the sniper worth the price (75 keys for a gun that can't aim properly!?). Also they should nerf the sniper reload time from 2.5 seconds to 4 seconds :P
@@HunterousAleks the bullet going stray without scoping in is common in most games, it should not take 4.5 seconds to reload a magazine thats longer then you think
thing is, the RPG and grenade launcher are more focused towards AOE, and making them be able to one or two shot on direct hit makes the game a lot more unbalanced because those weapons aren't meant for single target. it'd be kind of unfair to just be one shotted because your opponent decided to shoot a random RPG projectile that you cannot deflect, and cannot kill your opponent because he can just go behind cover after shooting the shot.
Then granade should one shot too, this isnt real life, it's a game and in a game that rpg is unfair to other players (i say that as an rpg user myself lol)
i don't think you get the point. the point im trying to make is balance, not having a 6 shot sort of fast firing weapon that has both AOE and one shotting potential, or an RPG that has AOE and one shotting potential as well. it makes other weapons not worth it to use, cause you can just use that one weapon that both excels in one shot and AOE damage.
imo they ruined it last update 💀, ranked match making in normal games really isnt fun, im a 98% winrate smoke nade main, i pretty much instantly quit the game when update 4 came out, update 5 just added useless gamemodes and balance changes we never needed, the only good thing in this update is the fact that aim assist no longer works through smoke and flashbangs
i think the revolver damage should stay the same since its fire rate is slow besides the slam fire, its a good weapon but it seems like p2w guns got buffed so the developers could get a quick money grab the paintball gun shouldn't blind me, they nerfed both ars because paintball was lacking i think. all f2p weapons basically got nerfed and there are no changes to autoshoot and aim assist which was the real problem
One thing annoying as a pc player, they nerfed the trampoline bounce on splash and put trees beside the spawn ramps making it impossible to fight controller and mobile players at a high level because i have no movement with a grenade or chainsaw. So literally every controller and mobile player i go against picks that map because they just sit at the back of the map..
dunno bout' you but these are just regular gun logic things that every fps game should have. Explosives should not do the same damage if it is not direct. Great video though
Pretty much revolver or handgun are the best secondary’s now lol it’s just dumb and the RPG buff was not needed it was already op and now it’s just broken I can’t go into a match without one rpg user, also the exo gun is pretty much worse than most secondary’s now pretty much everything is bad now but I’m mostly fine with it as a mobile sniper main
Me and my bro where joking around saying they were gonna make rpg 1 shot and they fucking did 😭.I also feel like they should have done something more with the speed glitch, mabye turning it into a feature?

Fr it’s a p2w update like you can’t reflect exogun, it does more dmg than the burst and it reloads quicker. It’s a secondary not a primary

Rpg direct hit Lowkey hard to do. So nerf the splash IG???
these editings are crazy bro… keep up the good work you got a sub 🔥
Rivals try not to be money-hungry and Pay 2 Win challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
💀
6:27 i would think both splash and direct would be 50 or splash same and direct 75
They need to either remove bullet drop off or nerf it, so it doesn’t do 5 damage when shooting somebody across the map in big crossroads.
the rocket-launcher seems pretty fair to me, theres still some counter play to it, the thing is the granade launcher, i think they should make the granades not explode on impact and have a time on it to explode, that would make going for pre-fires and direct hits more rewarding
The thing I have is when I’m playing right, having a good time but then a rpg spammer just walks next to me and instantly kills me
"RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE" ahh katana

The balance changes seem alright, also, the damage drop off makes sense.
great quality video bro, keep being consistent, you will blow up
loved this video, underrated content creator

direct damage could be changed to bigger knockback
Rivals is getting the TQ treatment now?

tbh the bad thing is rivals buffs the golden items so much like the paintball gun doing so much dmg

lmaoo
never using uzi again might grind for exo but currently maining shorty 🙏😭

@@coolw2925 uhh is the flare gun good after the buff?
@@AlexTran2992semi decent however still very niche and usable in specific maps

NICE VID BRO I REALLY LISTENED TO THE WHOLE NO KIDDING
They should add upgrading weapons. Max nade launcher does 100 damage per direct git, max rpg does 150 damage per direct hit.
hell no, it's already grindy enough
They revealed stuff in dev messages as well
i quite when they added sbmm and now what im getting from this is they buffed p2w wepons more and made normal wepons worse then added gamemodes to try and cover up the bad changes
What rivals needs is more cover cause I can never push enemies on splash with a sniper its so annoying or even on crossroads all they do is hide at the edge of the map with a sniper
Feel like they could keep crit rockets with 150 but turn the hitbox back to 0.1 stud cuz the hitbox is too cracked

yeah crossroads is a long range map.. of course the sniper dominates it.?
@@V3RT3X_PINNACLE yeah but now its even more opressive especially with flashbang nerf
@@twin_towers_destroyer flashbangs aren't a long range utility. Long range map, only 1 long range weapon so far so you use that on big crossroads. just rush in through tunnels with ar also works.
Theres a reason they called it “balance changes” not “balance fixes”. They somehow managed to make the balancing WORSE smh.

yo bro ur doing good keep up the good work on these videos
They gotta at least add grabbling hook pistol or blade or gadgets
Bro I was thinking that exact thing
how are they mad that a rocket launcher now does more damage on the body
personally i really like every decision. making secondaries less good was a much needed change and weapon dropoff makes larger maps easier to play in and sniper more special. i dont like some changes but with time i think they should be able to figure it out.
I agree that with that why did they make an rpg and grenade launch basically a single target?
did they fr buff the rpg
nothing is over lil bro
:(
I used freeze ray before and it had potential now it has more
I could see this guy reaching atleast 100K subscribers one day.

i think one of the worst changes is the katana buff. imo it was one of the things that needed a nerf. great video!
AND THE RPG ONLY COSTS 25 KEYS?!?!?!?!
The minigin has gone way too overseen in this update. They buffed it so hard, and has by far the bear dps at range. It's literally just a better AR right now
yeah got nerfed again lmaoo

You forgot the bow, Its damage is now 35, meaning you cannot two shot people anymore

kinda like the update since it forces people to adapt to these balances changes and create a new loadout
yea but it also nerfs players who arent tryna grind all day to get sniper or spend robux on it
I made a suggestion in the discord for the gl having direct hit dmg a month ago with the same damages values
