Protection Nerf

lolno. That would make no diference

I was thinking if prot didn't regenerate once it has been hit... or if you need a kill streak to have it regen ^-^

I suggested something similar already.

The 1.9 update brings shields. They should be taking the place of the protection chestplate. They would have to right clickt o use the shield. This makes it more challanging for the player and attacker to kill each other! Again.. I suggested this on the kit suggestion thread.

Protection is a lazy kit and mildly gamebreaking in my opinion - it violates the key one hit kill theme that MCBall has had for a long time. It also lowers the skill cap of the game. I've killed significantly better players just by tanking a shot then killing them.

That said, I'm gonna keep using it until it gets nerfed.

Goddammit dude.

Better Protection nerf:
Make people that wear protection be slower. Not drastically slower but like all tanks, they all move slower.

The original idea was that it would protect against sniper shots. Then after achieving a kill streak it would protect against paintballs and have a cool down.

I say do that. And make it so snipers DON"T slow down anymore. The cooldown change was a good change for the sniper kit. But slowing the player down was a bit too much in my opinion. The protection kit was originally intended to protect against snipers making certain players off limits.

Alternatively I think simply making the protection vest GREEN would help a lot. Most of the time I don't even realize someone is protection until it is too late. Especially when it is a up and close split second decision sort of thing OR a long distance duel. In neither of those cases do you realize you have to hit them twice until it is too late.

Alternatively another way to nerf the kit is a longer cool down.

Alternatively delete the kit.

Instead of chest plate get a shield that you have to right click and hold to block paintballs (preferably 1-3 snowballs)
