Poll: L4D - Most Underpowered Infected

[Zenn3k]

The boomer.

The Boomer is useless because the Horde is useless.

How to beat the Horde:
1: Find corner and put yourself there
2: Hold down melee button
3: Walk away with no damage

Melee needs a nerf.

 

[Kinguendo]

Witch.

Those saying that the Boomer is underpowered are severely ignoring that he has the biggest strength of any of the infected. He enables the attacks. If he didn't have a low amount of health he would be overpowered.

He's balanced.

Edit: Of course, I'm talking about Versus here. In Coop, the only infected worth anything is the Tank, and even then... not really. The AI for the infected is pretty terrible all around.

Yeah, he gets a horde... that can be easily taken out. (PIPEBOMB! and normal bullets) Also, the boomer dies easily and has weak attack power... part of its attack is in dying!

you know, I find that while playing versus there is always at least one retard on the enemy team who sets off car alarms. So what do we really need a boomer for?

yeah, thats true. for me it is bill, or whoever is playing as him without fail... "Okay, guys theres an alarm so dont... DAMN IT BILL!"

 

[hagaya]

Uh, the regular zombie?

 

[HentMas]

I voted for the boomer, but i thing i am wrong, the boomer can puke in all 4 of the survivors but the others can only attack one at a time... so it makes the balance

i shot kill?? yeah, but then again you get to shoot everyone, have them come in a closed corridor and puke at random, youll probably get them all and confuse them enough so your team mates get a kill.

 

[Disaster Button]

The Boomer is not underpowered, its just a different design, and needs a different tactic than the others. Also it isn't a one shot kill at all.

Smoker because the tongue os so freaking innaccurate.

 

[prettynothings]

I would say the hunter, in terms of difficulty playing it, I mean in all honesty, unless you have other incaps, or everyone is working together and incapping as you use your tongue, you're not going to get away with much, the somewhat long cooldown times with the lungs, the taller stature being easier to hit, and the melee doesn't do much, although the smoke is a nice addition, I think the hunter has better survivability and obviously more damage output. The witch can be disposed of easily, but not always is that the case, and depending on the difficulty, will kill someone very fast. As for the boomer, you can technically get off two hordes if you time it right, without running away and hiding, and with the projectile covering the player's screen, it's easy to do well and die with the boomer. Tank is, self explanatory.

 

[Death916]

Smoker. It may be tactical, but I grabbed a guy, Incapped him, then a friend of mine pounced on a full health survivor and killed him before I could. Then he stole my kill.

thats not a very nice friend

 

[Chaossebba]

to all of ye complaining about the smoker being semi-fail i say this

Ledges, 3 survivors down there, 1 snared up there and no way to shoot the smoker

 

[LtFerret]

Witch

unless you're playing Expert, she dosn't have much health and can be taken out quite easily. Even if you fail a cr0wn attempt, she only takes a few point blank shotgun shells to down

 

[The Rockerfly]

Witch.

Needs to be more lethal so shes scary again.

How can you make her any more lethal? She already kills on expert

 

[The Rockerfly]

The tank, becuse I have so huge balls and it doesn't match up.

 

[Zac_Dai]

If you vote for anything else other than the witch you really don't know how to play versus.

 

[pha kin su pah]

Tank, because kiting isn't already OP.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

I'm surprised the Boomer got so many votes.

He might not score as much as a Hunter, but the vomit starts ambushes, and you get assistance points for every hit a Hunter, Smoker, or Tank makes.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Well since they took away insta-kill pulls, the smoker.
The Boomer, while a tad underpowered, is good for blinding people with either bile or waves of infected so that hunters can pounce and smokers can pull.

 

[The Young One]

In my opinion, and some might not agree with me;
Hunter: Not overpowered, not underpowered, just annoying when you get hit backwards and reel for some time after that.
Boomer: Only good if you vomit on the survivors when a HOARD of more than 1 zombie attacks them.
Tank: Clearly not underpowered by any stretch of the imagination.
Witch: One hit incap? To me, that doesn't scream weak.
Smoker: My weakest infected, it's too easy for the survivors to cut the tongue, which takes too long to come back. That's why I voted for the Smoker.

 

[reviewmad]

In versus, I think it would be the smoker. But outside of versus, Boomer definitely.

 

[GaM Pancho]

Have to go with Hunter. He's too easy to melee off before he pounces, it is too hard to hit survivors while jumping and sometimes you'll hit a different survivor than the one you're aiming for if they're bunched together.

I don't know, I'd say they're not that bad, they dish out a lot of damage, and providing you are able to pull off frequent 25 damage pounces they are able to deal real pain in a short amount of time, especially when on fire

Oh, maybe I'm just really bad at hitting someone when jumping long distances with the hunter, but I pounce a survivor about 1 in 100 jumps...

It's possible you may have been lagging or the server was laggy, because then playing a hunter, or any kind of infected is infinitley more difficult

I agree, Boomer is the most useless because people have adapted so well to them that any competent team can deal with them without even being hit

if say zombies dropped from the roofs as well it would make it more interesting
