Nerfs usually take place when a kit is overplayed and used by the masses. The sheer number of characters should prevent the AllBot from being overused; thus no nerf is needed.


Nope, since I started playing this morning... AIU in every match.  Every.  Single.  One.





Yes but it is the new toy in town, a lot of players want to try something new.... how many still play the original AA? It was OP at one point... I rarely see one around now...

Go ahead then. Solo Platinum with the Talon Mercenary and make it seem broken. I am pretty sure a humble video of that would be more meaningful than a humble opinion about how the easy characters have broken powers.

you know for the good of the whole community and such...



I've been soloing gold since demo and I solo'd platinum on day 1 when Earth dlc was released with a Batarian soldier, so please, don't try to look like a bad boy asking me to solo with a character that deals over 3k damage with a mines that can be refilled like granades and with 0 cooldown.

Sorry for this but I think all the typical "if you think it's OP then don't use it" coments are very stupid.

This is not something I am doing for me, I do it for the player base and for the game balance, i'm not calling it Overpowered for what I can do with it, let's be sincere, I don't want to sound elitist but the thing is I can make any kit in the game look totally broken if I want.


I'm not complaining about the damage output, for me is fine, what is not fine is Repair Matrix, as I said before, it breaks risk-reward relation.

It's like have a legal trainer with infinite health, a legal cheat.

Most cheats are not allowed in this game because they compromise all difficulties, same happens with this character, you can go and run to any spawn without worry about even medigel because you can have 40 instant revives without visit an ammo box plus 6 medigel, but is not only that, it doesn't have cooldown, it provides speed, damage reduction, it gives you back the shieldgate, it's just erase all the risk only leaving a maximum reward.


So please, if you will only come and say "if you think it's OP then just don't play it" please, at least give a reasonable argument of why it should stay like that instead of spread the stupidity in that way.


Okay dude, we get it.  We are all a bunch of nerds writing disertations on a game that is a year old with waining support.  

I am very proud of you for making all kits look broken (that a boy!) I am sure a great many people are.  But let's be honest, you are upset because you think the repair matrix is broken and it needs addressed.  Why do you really really care?   think it's a great kit to play.  Average players will still stuggle with it.  REGARDLESS.  So what if every so often they can feel awesome when playing.  Is that not why we play games?  Relax, have fun and enjoy it?  I think your off base on this - for arguments sake why could an AI not self repair?  Laslty do you really think this is a deal breaker?  Really? It's a co-op game.  What is to truly be gained by nerfing it?   I hope they don't touch it.  I hope they leave it alone and let it stay.  Nerfers ruin it for eveyone.  

Also this post won't change anything.  We will have people like me saying leave it, people like you saying change it and 8000 threads on it.  At the end of the day I am really disappointed in the number of people that whine and complain on these forums.  




First of all who said I'm upset?

Also, with your coment I noticed you have totally missed my point here, i'm talking about balance, i'm not talking about average players using it or not, I am talking that the ability eliminates the risk-reward relation, i'm not whining, i'm not angry, i'm just giving my opinion just as you even if we don't share it.

As i've said before in this thread, i don't mind average players using it, i don't care i have fun in my own way but when I say balance i'm not talking about how it can be exploited for average players, i'm talking about how pointless it makes one of the abilities tree on the character in this case firness.

I'm not even talking about the damage output for tactical cloak, for me that's fine.



It's also funny how you say what you said, like if i were an inmature 12 years old kid who is whining when in fact I'm doing a constructive critique about something, the problem is when someone say something the masses are not agree then they will start calling that one hater, whiner and even elitist! people who know me from this forum know the kind of player and user i am, so reading some of these coments is really funny.


Maybe now lot of people don't see it, but PUGs are not using the EDI bot very good yet because the masses haven't figured it out, that's why they keep dropping in games like flies, but again, i'm not against any kind of player base, i'm just telling that if any kind of challenge disspears then the game will turn very boring for many of those and they will leave the game, resulting in the death of Multiplayer.

Of course, that will happen some day we are all sure of that, but at least, if that happens it's better for time and not because it stopped being challenging on higher difficulties and because everyone can do what they wish because the game has an iWin buttom, I hope you now understand what my point is.

We are not going to say that the original AA was or is anything near like what this kit is.  I'm not going to entertain that discussion at all.

I don't entirely disagree, RedJohn. It's just that the practical effect of her use of Repair Matrix insta-gel in-game doesn't really affect me as a fellow player. It may make some of the objectives a bit easier, and reduce the team challenge (since she's hard to kill absent sync kills or objective time expiration). But her DPS isn't obnoxious. Which brings me to my next point.

Compare her to the TGI or the GI: it's actually annoying to play beside these kits, because they kill everything so quickly there's nothing left for the rest of the team. EdiBot doesn't break game balance as much as those kits do.

So nerf EdiBot - but only after BW nerfs TGI and GI.

The only good thing? :o


What about the new Krogan?, the hammer is awesome
What about the Juggernout?,  It is slow but that unit is awesome
What about the Cabal?, She's the DOT Queen and can attack and leave an entire spawn to their doom.
What about Talon?, played in a good way this guy is incredibly powerful.
What about the Prothean? he can be as lethal with Biotics as he can be at the same time with PPR or collector weapons and warp ammo.


EDIbot is not the "almost only" good thing here, we have lot of cool stuff.

AA was OP "at one point": when it was released and the BE was not nerfed, not now as I mentioned. If the new characters are as weak as some of the old ones, nobody want to play them... Do we want to all the kits to be equal?

I personally do not care. Tried the SexBot: like it. Tried the collector: not like it, tried the GJ... don't know yet... If I want to do plat, i will bring the AH personally...

I never talked about her damage output, that's fine for me. Actually for me GI and TGI are fine too :P

The only thing here that should be looked at is Repair matrix.:lol:

So bypassing the rocket cap using an exploit is bad, but doing so with medigels/ops packs is fine, coz the developers put it in. If bioware put in a class that had an aoe power strong enough to kill entire spawns would you want to nerf that, or is it also fine since the developers cannot possibly misjudge game balance?


Why yes!  Let's take it to the COMPLETE extreme!  Really dude?  They made the game.  It's their sandbox we play in lest you forget that.  I think it's working as designed, if not they will make changes to it.  The issue at hand is the constant freadking doctorial level whining that goes on here.  Can you solo plat with it?  If so pat yourself on the back.  Most people can't.  Based on PUGS I play with they are lucky to get through gold.  This is what is so frustrating.  Like I said - your view won't change cause you see this as a right you have. Once this is nerfed the Geth JUG will be the next cry.  I mean seriously have you seen what you can do with that thing?  Just stop the stupid man.

If back in march i told you that one year from now there will be kits that have (effectively) unlimited medigels/ops packs i'd have probably been called an idiot for suggesting such a ridiculus idea. FYI for the first week or so consumable cap was 10, but for "some" reason the developers felt that it was too powerful so the cap was decreased. So do tell what changed that a stupidly powerful kit on its own requires an additional 10+ extra medigels other than the player base having access to much better weapons/characters/equipment? The developers are not stupid, they know it's not balanced at all, and i understand how that's not necessarily their first priority either.

And yes, i've seen what the Jug can do, and call me crazy but tanking 2 pyros a bomber and a hunter at the same time (without cyclonic modulator) by holding down one button is not my idea of a well balanced kit and how the game should be played. Do you actually take this game for more than an online casino, coz there are 4 difficulties for a good reason, pick a suitable one for your skill.

Obviously you are upset otherwise you would not rush to the forum and cry for a nerf on the first day after the DLC.

You are doing it for the player base, not yourself ??? No, you are NOT!
The player base plays much less than you, it will take them several days to play and try out or even unlock the new stuff. This is why crying for nerfs on the first day is a BIG NONO
If needed Bioware will rebalance the new stuff and they are doing it WAY more reasonable then the overexcited BSN forum celebrities.

Why else would you invest so much time into creating and posting in this thread? I think the OP is overexcited and should just calm down and let everything rest for a few days. No one gets harmed and everyone gets to play the new kits... Then after some time things might get rebalanced... Just take it easy, no need for nerf threads... Nerf threads are poison for the community especially directly after the new stuff comes out. Talking about game balance is ok, but take it easy and let us not get overexcited

Short answer : How about no.

Long answer : A skilled player will be good no matter what. If a couple kits help less skilled players to perform above their level I don't have a problem with it.

redjohn, you're cool with me, but i disagree....i've always been against nerfing something in the name of 'balance' in a co-op game...if this was a competative game, it would be different, but it's not....we all get the same amount of credits/points....what people decide to use is their choice, and isnt a problem for me, cause i play the game for me, like they play for themselves...if i dont have fun playing with a bunch of edis, i'll just leave and find another lobby....i dont think it's right to ask for something to be changed because you make up a doomsday scenario in your head...which is what you did to explain the reason you're asking for the nerf...cause despite her being what she is, that doesnt mean everyone is gonna use her only...

on a side note: that goes for any and everything in the game people think is overpowered....people on here think once others realize something makes the game easier, that everyone will start using whatever that is....and that's not the case....you cant use the bsn as a measuring stick for the game base...the majority of people on here are followers/sheep, and will use whatever the consensus says is the best build/weapon combo for a character...but the majority of the player base isnt on the bsn, and doesnt care what the bsn has to say...so while the bsn lets others dictate what they use, the majority of the player base doesnt....so there is no need to let the few (bsn) determine the fate of the game for the majority (non bsn)

I think it's fine, I couldn't care less if it allows a newer player or a player that may not have the skills with other kits to play higher levels, it doesn't effect my game at all, glad BioWare gave us these kits, it would seem some may feel threatened a noob will challenge them.

Everytime a dlc is released people come out of the woodworks crying for nerfs, sometimes even before the kits are played.
The AIU is a perfect stepping stone for people who aren't pro gamers but want to evolve and play on a higher level, for instance The GI and The Destroyer helped me become a better player because of their strength.
If you want this game and community to be diverse and endure there needs to be something for everyone, Bioware doesn't need to nerf the AIU for you to self-regulate and create challenges
for yourself with this kit, the dlc's a day old and people are already crying for balance, what balance in a meant to be fun co-op game?
Bioware and some people on this forum needs to be relealize that there are tens of thousand of other players out there who needs this ONE kit to stay the way it is for them to enjoy this game and not feel alienated and shut out.
These nerf this nerf that thread comes across as divisive tells outher people that you are not welcome to play unless you can solo platinum with a toothpick like i RedJohnn & co does everyday.
Even competitive pro gaming forums doesn't have this kind of atmosphere.
Please stop with these nerf everything threads and just be inclusive instead.

Yes and no...

While I agree with the theory, what I fear will happen in reality is this:

1 - The player goes down -> Repair Matrix -> Revived -> Cool I'm invincible...
2 - The player goes down again -> Repair Matrix -> Revived again
3 - The player goes down again -> Don't have any grenades left -> Bleed out
4 - The rest of the team has to finish the wave with 1 less teamate

But what happens when you get 2 or more of those players in the same game? This has the potential of destroying the PUG experience and it's not that great to begin with.

People play Gold with less than 5 medigels, they bleed out more often than not, they don't use medigels because they don't have much of them even on objective waves, they don't use consumables to ease up the taks, some won't even use their free gear... The only thing you can never overestimate about a PUG is how bad they can be. Allowing them to play higher difficulties than their skills is not helping them in any way.

On the other hand, if people are smart about it, it can be really beneficial. I just think that the amount of "less smart" people will outnumber the smart ones by so much that it will become a big problem.

OP you are not different, you are the same "cry for nerf" guy. TGI is OP too, GI has been always OP. I'm sick and tired of BSN...you are worst than a battlefield forum. At least that is a competitive multiplayer game, there is a reason to be ****, but here...jeez...


True story bro...a battlefield veteran here, so I know what you are talking about

For op: Last night Im playing  "Plate" pugs with Juggy, in every game I need to revive the "op" sexbot every minute, so Im feeling like a medic and I think, wtf?
So I tested sexbot, so... its  OP? ,
No if you re not the host, like other chars, like Shadow N7, I kill everything mostly with her shadow strike and still cloack and not dying at all.
So, if you´re not the host, you are die before use repair matrix.
Lag happends=Sh**t happends=Bye bye op char

And seriously: she´s a robot...robots don´t die because they aren´t alive.

Dont nerfed plz...My juggy like to revive her sexy butty everytime:devil:

Yeah I don't see this providing any benefits to PUGs. Bad players will continue to be bad even with infinite medigel because they're playing way above their skill level, and this won't help them learn.

The only reason I kind of want a nerf is because I was really hoping for six solid kits with a lot of replay value, and the AIU doesn't have any. In fact, she has no drawbacks at all which makes her really uninteresting to play. At a certain level of kit ability the game becomes a not-game, because failure is not possible, and then you start to wonder why you're even playing. So basically it's a kit that adds very little depth to the game, and frankly that's disappointing.
