00:00:00
Gatling Gunner just received the biggest
00:00:02
Nerf in TDS history I'm really happy
00:00:04
that this thing got nerfed this Tower
00:00:06
doesn't even fit into TDS this is stupid
00:00:09
and so tough luck you're going to have
00:00:10
to start playing TDS like an actual
00:00:12
tower defense game now not as a shooter
00:00:14
game oh my
00:00:16
[Music]
00:00:23
God here I stand it's only been 5 days
00:00:26
and I'm about to do the very same thing
00:00:28
I did a week ago as the biggest nerf in
00:00:30
TDS history ever has happened I won't
00:00:32
just be replaying the same match I'll
00:00:34
also be addressing some common Arguments
00:00:36
for why Gatling shouldn't have actually
00:00:39
been nerfed as well as some other angry
00:00:41
individuals who are mad cuz they say my
00:00:43
opinion sucks and I feel like we should
00:00:44
get that out of the way before we even
00:00:47
start anything here the number one most
00:00:48
common argument I saw about well what
00:00:51
people thought of the Gatling Nerf is
00:00:52
that because it's a level 175 Tower and
00:00:56
because it cost 35k coins you know those
00:00:59
insane requirements by all means people
00:01:01
said that because it's so expensive it
00:01:03
should have been good so as a matter of
00:01:05
fact the Nerf was undeserved and while
00:01:08
you think that argument is solid it's
00:01:09
actually really stupid let's think about
00:01:11
this for a moment let's take uh like
00:01:13
golden Soldier for example that thing
00:01:15
requires even more coins than the
00:01:18
Gatling gun Additionally you get it from
00:01:20
a crate so you could very well only have
00:01:22
enough coins and have golden Soldier by
00:01:25
the time you're level 250 however nobody
00:01:28
in the GDs Community is really
00:01:29
complaining nobody's like oh my God why
00:01:31
isn't golden Soldier better than
00:01:33
engineer or why isn't golden mini the
00:01:36
strongest Tower in existence huh because
00:01:39
I only got all of my golden towers by
00:01:41
the time I was well in my 200s but when
00:01:43
I got my golden Cowboy or whatever I
00:01:45
wasn't upset that it didn't turn the
00:01:47
whole game Into You Know light work I
00:01:49
couldn't solo hardcore with four towers
00:01:52
and so you can't really see Gatling in
00:01:54
the same light now the people that paid
00:01:55
Roo uh that's kind of different first of
00:01:57
all you can also pay roox to buy coins
00:01:59
so you could get a golden crate here so
00:02:01
you know you could accuse the devs of
00:02:02
scamming the players that way cuz it's
00:02:04
50k coins for I don't know like gold
00:02:06
Scout who uses gold Scout nobody uses it
00:02:09
but then again nobody's like complaining
00:02:11
about it it's not amazing it's just good
00:02:13
in its own way so I don't understand why
00:02:16
when it's Gatling gun people suddenly
00:02:18
have these much higher expectations for
00:02:20
it even though when you compare it to
00:02:22
Gold Towers you'll actually be getting
00:02:24
some golden Towers even later than the
00:02:26
Gatling and on top of that I think you
00:02:28
need to understand the kind of game t
00:02:30
yes is we are not toilet Tower Defense
00:02:32
we are not these Gat gambling games
00:02:35
where the longer it takes for you to
00:02:37
grind something or the harder something
00:02:38
is to get it must be better than
00:02:41
everything else it just doesn't work
00:02:42
like that TDS tries its best to be a
00:02:44
balanced tower defense game that means
00:02:46
you don't need to play this game 24/7
00:02:49
and gamble through crates to have a
00:02:51
chance to defend against these enemies
00:02:52
TDS rewards the player for being good
00:02:55
and if you can win with simple Towers
00:02:57
like Fallen mode for example you can win
00:02:59
with quick boss military base and Ranger
00:03:01
pretty much you don't need Gatling you
00:03:03
don't need engineer you don't need
00:03:05
golden towers and that's what makes this
00:03:07
game fun it's not just a spammy wave
00:03:09
structure with the only way to defend it
00:03:11
being to have better Towers it's
00:03:12
actually very well thought out and the
00:03:14
whole game is beatable entirely NST that
00:03:17
means no special Towers you do not need
00:03:19
Gatling you don't need accelerator
00:03:21
engineer if you're a casual player with
00:03:23
casual Towers that's more than enough
00:03:25
and so I think what people need to
00:03:26
understand is it's a good thing that
00:03:28
these super expensive Towers aren't
00:03:30
actually overpowered cuz then the game
00:03:32
wouldn't be fun anymore if TDS added
00:03:34
like a level 2,000 tower that just one
00:03:37
shots the boss well think about it it
00:03:39
would be fun to use a few times but then
00:03:41
how much would you really care about
00:03:42
playing TDS you just place the tower
00:03:44
down and and what are you doing at that
00:03:46
point I just realized my loadouts Rong I
00:03:48
need to have Electro instead of
00:03:49
Commander there also some people that
00:03:51
got really freaking mad like when I said
00:03:55
you could just play Arsenal if you
00:03:56
wanted to shoot a gun first of all I was
00:03:58
exaggerating I know that these games are
00:04:00
very different it's obviously not the
00:04:02
exact same thing but the reason I use
00:04:04
that comparison is because of what I was
00:04:06
saying earlier which is that aiming the
00:04:08
Gatling became everything in this game
00:04:11
if you could aim your Gatling and hit
00:04:12
the enemies that was all that you needed
00:04:14
to do to win in that aspect the game
00:04:17
becomes less of a tower defense game
00:04:19
which you know I think I would be
00:04:21
correct to make the Assumption because
00:04:23
this is a tower defense game that's why
00:04:24
most people play it so that's why I said
00:04:26
that if you're no longer strategizing
00:04:28
but instead just shooting a Gatling then
00:04:30
really all you're doing is playing a
00:04:32
shooter game I can acknowledge the fact
00:04:34
that people found the tower fun yes but
00:04:36
I'm not laughing in these people's faces
00:04:38
saying ha your Tower got nerfed no it's
00:04:41
it's very different I'm just pointing
00:04:42
out the fact of the situation did Gatlin
00:04:45
get the most DPS removed off a tower yes
00:04:48
is it a good thing that the most busted
00:04:49
overpowered thing gets balanced yes this
00:04:52
quote unquote criticism is is not
00:04:55
getting us anywhere if you're going to
00:04:57
call my opinions trash you should be at
00:04:59
least able to explain to me why this
00:05:01
thing should have been op and the more
00:05:03
reasonable fans in the comment section
00:05:05
did that very thing they said because of
00:05:08
the requirements they think the tower
00:05:09
should be good and I just addressed no
00:05:11
that that should make the tower good cuz
00:05:13
then fundamentally where's TDS going to
00:05:15
end up going well the same place is
00:05:17
toilet Tower Defense there's going to be
00:05:18
a ton of power creep and I really think
00:05:20
that your ability to win should be based
00:05:21
off of how good you are and not how good
00:05:23
your towers are so yeah hopefully I
00:05:25
don't need to say any more on the
00:05:27
situation and otherwise we've only got a
00:05:30
couple more waves here until it's time
00:05:32
to finally get the new Gatling here we
00:05:34
go it's wave 28 next wave is flying
00:05:36
enemies so it's time to get Gatling
00:05:38
right in this spot and the early levels
00:05:40
are still the same and that's fine
00:05:42
because the early levels were already
00:05:43
good now I believe level two here's the
00:05:46
first one with a change I think it's
00:05:47
cheaper level three slightly stronger it
00:05:49
has a faster cool down it also has more
00:05:51
damage and a bigger angle level four
00:05:54
here I can't afford but we should be
00:05:56
able to get it next round here so I mean
00:05:59
it it's really just going to be played
00:06:00
the same this is just a slightly
00:06:02
stronger version of the level three than
00:06:04
there was after the Nerf I'm going to a
00:06:06
this thing away I want to leave as much
00:06:08
damage here for my Cowboys as possible
00:06:12
level four okay I need to slow down the
00:06:14
game level four got quite a big damage
00:06:16
buff from after the Nerf I mean yeah at
00:06:19
this point this was like one of the most
00:06:20
nerfed upgrades as well as these next
00:06:23
two but now Gatling is a lot closer to
00:06:25
how it used to be before the Nerf still
00:06:27
not even close to as strong as it was
00:06:29
before the Nerf cuz that was just
00:06:30
overpowered but I mean yeah as you could
00:06:32
see from this thing it just does solid
00:06:33
damage also I should mention when I was
00:06:35
comparing it DPS when I said like you
00:06:37
know it's it's it's close to Turret that
00:06:40
was exclusively single Target I don't
00:06:42
think it's fair to look at Gatling from
00:06:44
a single Target perspective because
00:06:46
that's just not the type of tower it is
00:06:48
that's like comparing mortar to
00:06:50
literally anything else like like minig
00:06:52
Gunner like of course mortar is going to
00:06:54
do a lot worse for the Fallen King so I
00:06:55
compared Gatling to Turret that was just
00:06:57
for the single Target I guess I didn't
00:06:59
make that clear enough but yes that that
00:07:01
doesn't actually mean that this thing is
00:07:03
close to as good as turret cuz the only
00:07:05
statistic of Gatling that oh shoot hold
00:07:07
on I got to actually Max my electros
00:07:10
here and upgrade this cuz this wave is
00:07:12
hard the only statistic of Gatling that
00:07:14
matters is when you're using it in first
00:07:16
person it's impossible to make a fair
00:07:19
comparison between this and any other
00:07:21
Tower speaking of which I have to speed
00:07:23
this up because I need to okay wow we
00:07:28
just barely killed that guy but yeah max
00:07:29
level here we're back down to 100K the
00:07:32
damage has also gone up so I think this
00:07:35
puts Gatling in a perfect spot as I said
00:07:38
in my video about this thing I would
00:07:40
understand if people said it was nerfed
00:07:41
too much I don't know where people got
00:07:43
that I was like hating on the fact that
00:07:45
this thing as interactive and good it's
00:07:47
not what was happening at all I was
00:07:48
hating on the fact that this thing was
00:07:50
just unbalanced busted op whatever you
00:07:52
want to say and every sense of the word
00:07:54
and it wasn't even a classic Tower
00:07:57
Defense style Tower you know what I'm
00:07:58
saying now believe we're going to kill
00:08:01
this Fallen Summoner even quicker than I
00:08:04
did when there was Pursuits but I mean
00:08:06
okay this thing is slow right now so
00:08:08
yeah actually we kill in the same area
00:08:10
but if this thing wasn't slowed down
00:08:11
then well that wouldn't have
00:08:14
happened this whole wave I basically
00:08:16
just kept at the front with Gatling keep
00:08:18
in mind this thing has been nerfed so I
00:08:20
don't know what else you could really
00:08:22
want this thing was and is still great
00:08:25
oh also I got Engineers early I'm going
00:08:27
to get rid of them because we kind of
00:08:29
want to see this thing single Target
00:08:31
here with the honor guard I still don't
00:08:33
expect it to be all that amazing just
00:08:35
because as I said this is meant to be a
00:08:37
crowd control tower more so than a
00:08:39
single Target also there's a warden
00:08:41
causing problems I think I'm going to
00:08:42
Target the warden just because uh it's
00:08:45
probably going to be a bigger issue than
00:08:46
the honor guard if I could just get some
00:08:48
Pierce here that would be nice there we
00:08:50
go so just take a look at this this is a
00:08:52
crowd control tower the Gatling and it
00:08:54
actually managed to take care of this
00:08:57
Fallen Honor Guard which is single
00:08:59
Target with no help whatsoever I mean of
00:09:01
course we had these supports but we had
00:09:03
that for Pursuits as well I think now's
00:09:05
the time that I want to get the
00:09:06
engineers I had them a bit earlier last
00:09:08
time so I think yeah having them a bit
00:09:11
earlier this time is also fair this time
00:09:12
we have the engineers in a better spot
00:09:14
as well so yeah let's go set damage to
00:09:16
Red track here and just stay in the
00:09:17
Gatling the rest of the game and I'm
00:09:19
going be honest I lost my train of
00:09:20
thought oh yeah I was talking about how
00:09:21
this thing did good with single Target
00:09:23
this time around the real test is the
00:09:25
Fallen King I guess cuz if we can win
00:09:26
against the Fallen King this time then I
00:09:29
don't know what else there could
00:09:30
possibly be to complain about this wave
00:09:32
is fairly tough but here we go we
00:09:34
permanently stun things like this Fallen
00:09:37
Guardian next to us and okay here comes
00:09:39
Fallen King I pressed the wrong button
00:09:41
so hopefully we don't need this ability
00:09:44
and we're about to see how far the
00:09:45
Fallen King pushes uh last time we lost
00:09:47
but this time I have engineers in better
00:09:49
spots as well as obviously stronger
00:09:52
Gatling I kind of feel like reiterating
00:09:54
my main points remember it's a good
00:09:56
thing for Gatling to be weaker than it
00:09:58
was pre Nerf because that's what makes
00:10:00
TDS fun it's the fact that it's a
00:10:02
balanced game and that I wasn't hating
00:10:03
on this tower for being new and unique
00:10:06
but for being something way too strong
00:10:07
for what is essentially a gimmick Tower
00:10:10
I think we can all agree this is so much
00:10:11
better where it is now where look at
00:10:13
this you could still comfortably rely on
00:10:16
this thing to do over 500,000 damage in
00:10:18
a game and definitely perform very well
00:10:21
while simultaneously not being so broken
00:10:23
that if you want to solo hardcore or do
00:10:24
hidden wave this is the thing that you
00:10:26
have to bring that would be about it
00:10:28
thank you for watching like subscribe
00:10:30
you st Cod goodbye
