Morphs are very easy to cheese.

Post by Shadowflame909 » #409940

They had an advantage before the nerf, but now they're pretty much cheese city.

1. If they eat an MMI or a POSIBRAIN, it can activate inside of them and just spew their location on the radio.

2. If it eats anyone with suit sensors slightly on, they can be tracked anywhere and prevented from doing anything.

3. If they eat a ling, they can get arm blade from inside out with no counter.

My point is, morphs suck and can't really counter anything. All they can do is fist fight you and eat items. They need a buff because they can be cheesed if they eat ANY sentient living mob of any sort. It's unpreventable.

Edit: Also, since they're forced to only be able to fight in melee. You can toss any ranged weapons at them, they're pretty much good as dead. I think this calls for a buff, to maybe be able to spit items out?

But they're supposed to be a meme.

A meme that for some reason still eats nerfs. But, I believe it needs a buff.

How would buffing them make the rounds they're involved in more interesting? Morphs are a bad combination of boring and frustrating and the earlier they're killed the better

I'm willing to see statue morph memes, if it gets test merged instead of full merged. Still sounds easier to cheese then the current morph though.

Hello, guy who doesn't even read threads. The morphs aren't able to wipe out one crew member without facing a quick death. They literally cannot avoid any of these scenarios and none of these solutions solve this problem.

What's even going on in this thread anymore, sounds like a bunch of "nerf morphs" hoopla. When the point of this thread was to state the opposite! They're nerfed to shit and can be killed by tossing floor tiles. I just want them to be able to regurgitate things. I hope that regurgitated living mobs auto KO, so lings dont armblade the morphs even more when they get out.

If you want to make morphs good, give them some reasonable objective. Make them eat certain item types, and get sick of everything else. Make it less about wanton chaos and mayhem. Because your main complaint seems to be that your quest to destroy the station and remove everyone from the round is stopped by those meddling kids every time.

Any side antag should lose if the whole station is working specifically against them. If there are more serious threats, you can bet that people won't be hunting for the one morph and you can do your shit in peace

Side antag shouldn't involve the whole station in the first place.

I thought the point of this complaint is that morphs almost always lose 1v1, not 1vstation

The point seems to be that Morph by eating stuff makes life harder for itself.

Two and Three are unavoidable. Why would you want any valid hunters to get revived and continue looking for you? Also, they got a big nerf CosmicScientist. They can only fight in their slow form. So, more then likely you're not going to be able to speedily flee and ventcrawl. Not if a semi-robust crewmember or the casual valid-hunter has anything to say about it. Morphs got memed.

The solutions just seem to be, "Lol morphs are bad and who cares if they get fucked over because no one likes them." So, I'll just close this thread here.
