Yes most everyone knows I hate rangers. In a previous post i said i wanted to take PD away from them. Although I still believe they are an unbalanced class I would be remiss if I didn't say I hate the idea of nerfing one class to help another. One poster whose name I forget had an interesting comment about giving camo to assassins to negate MoS. I think this would be a great idea (and easy to implement) and here is why.

Everyone that played OF back in Old RA days knows that see hidden was a totally unbalanced RA (I played an inf back then btw) because it made archers fodder for assassins. The current system also does this but in reverse. Giving assassins camo (on 5 min timer and making archers a 5 min timer as well) allows both classes the benefit of MoS but also a way to negate it as well. This brings balance because if you decide to attack someone, guess what, no camo for 4 min 30 sec and now youre vulnerable to those mos5 archers. It makes you think about when you attack but also not completely fodder for them. Though I would like to see rangers lose PD that might be too devastating for the class since most assassins go for viper3. Rangers would have little chance and therefore it would probably make things unfair for them.

However, mincers shouldn't benefit from this change. Sorry mincers. Though I like duoing with them they have so much utility as it is that giving them camo would be absurd. Anyway rangers, I still hate you all but I think this would be a nice change. And visibles wouldn't notice anything because lets face it, camo or no camo if youre a solo visi youre still probably not going to see that PA to the face coming anyway.

Ain't going to happen
