Gordon Freeman

Why is Gordon's build so bad

Like I don't get the specific nerfing of leaving him with only 3 rockets, it's so weird

And his abilities really suck too - when all you got on the most vanilla 4/week gunner ever is a passive and a helmet, it's a wonder he ever got bought (with no helmet, no less!). Worst part is that he could totally have some nice abilities involving being the right man in the wrong place, or the One Free Man, or even the super gravity gun or something to make him good, but he doesn't. A gaming icon like him deserves better than this. RIP Gordon, never getting good abilities or a new game ever again. :(

Should He Stay?: Yes, but only with a total ability redesign IMO. His three M4 abilities could stay, but only as incidental freebies or cheap upgrades.

Grigori

Possession every four weeks. Disgusting stuff. Like, at least Tira + Morrigan shenannes required buying two mercs and paying extra money per usage, yo. This shit just ain't right.

Grigori is pretty much an awful battlemerc backed up by a broken, disgustingly broken ability. Possession is super good. Targetable possesion every four weeks as a BASE ability is unconscionable. I think the dragon itself is maybe a 5/week, maybe (real talk, would anybody super object to knocking him and Ridley down to 5/week? They feel like they belong there more than the tier of Samus, Master Chief and Kain). Adjusting him to be more fair would be a pretty good idea - Dragon's Dogma was pretty popular, he steals the show there, and we need more beefy mercs, it's just...they can't come with the most broken ability type in the game on a 3 week CD.

Should He Stay?: Probably, but with a nerfed ability and lowered upkeep.
