What was the reason for nerfing throwers 3 times?

[F i n]

First, by changing the time needed to switch weapon modes,
Second, by removing jumpthrowing,
Third by overpowering shields

?

Tell me cus ive got no clue

[Tzar]

Thrid by overpowering shields

 Huh  :

[Boerenlater]

Huh  :

Those new shields probably.

[Lennu]

Yep, now you need to use up most of your ammo to break the shield.

RETURN THE OLD WEAPON MODE CHANGING TIMES OR FIN WILL RETIRE AND GIVE ME THE LOOM

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Don't aim for shielders??

On my thrower alt i tend to target anyone without a shield, or with their back turned to me - it works more than targetting shielders, however the jumpthrowing is annoying :3

It probably looked kind of like this:

2h: olololo blaacne taem !!!
balance team: How can we help ?
2h: nurf dem throwerz plix plox
balance team: why
2h: cuz he throws and then like he hit in melee before I oneshot him omgwtf lol good joke
balance team: But he is supposed to be switching weapon modes with throwing weapons and be able to hit you in melee. You have the better melee build and should be able to fight him just fine.
2h: teh fuq if i spam mah danish i has to get dem kills ! iz justicce !!!!1
balance team: Oh you are are 2h ? In that case, consider it done sir. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Ask Fin about his opinion regarding archers, I dare you.

Oh I am quite aware of his opinion as he keeps ragepolling me when I shoot him and he keeps punching me as soon as he is in my team

Fin ragepolls me when he shoots me when he's in my team. Beat that.

I personally think its more of the satisfaction I get now when an axe crunches into a head (my team or theirs)

What is with lower ammo nerf?

[Osiris]

dunno it still seemed ok to me when i was playing eu1 with a thrower main (mw jarids) a few days last week, generally did ok.

sure i miss the days when my 10pt was useful and i could jump and throw over a face huggers shield but well we move on
