AuroraSonicBoom Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) It's already too late for Rhino Prime and I doubt your intent to balance him, so I will exclude him here. Simply put, any warframe should have a definite drawback, a crux that players choosing a certain playstyle have to deal with and which makes them inferior to other frames in at least one area of expertise. I would like to suggest that any future prime frame buffs shouldn't revolve around having the extent of their disadvantages reduced but any of their other stats buffed. Example: The special edition of Nova should never have her squishiness reduced because it's the only thing that shows a resemblance of balance compared with her power and mobility. If you give Frost Prime a retroactive special treatment, he should never get his speed buffed. And so on. Remember that the most relevant properties of frames in Warframe are power, speed and survivability. Any other stat is close to or completely irrelevant in comparison.

Gio21 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i was thinking since rhino prime is somewhat better than regular rhino maybe make all prime like these and instead of looking wt ++ u gonna add just add the ++ stats from the alt helmets and them statless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immolator1001 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) They increased his speed by 11%. That's it. If they want to increase a stat of a prime by 11% that seems fairly balanced since the prime is supposed to be better.

Ttariel Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes thank you I have no problem with primes being a bit better, but losing the only downside is not a great concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrosslyIncandescent1709 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 buff every prime frames speed by 11%... speed is always nice and according to a large part of the forums it's nothing gamebreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that the most relevant properties of frames in Warframe are power, speed and survivability. Any other stat is close to or completely irrelevant in comparison. Where is this rule that every frame should have a draw back? Why would you invest million of space dollars in designing a state of the art battle suit with built in flaws, just to make things bit fairer for the enemy? A character doesn't "have" to be bad or not very good at anything simply "because", it should be more useful at something's than other things because of its abilities and no other reason. No frame should be "bad" just because it has to have an artificial down side. There is no reason for frost and rhino to be so slow in the first place, Nova, the space Ninja equivalent of a MLRS, wouldn't go Into battle wearing nothing but a rubber gimp suit and no armour, despite her mobility.

GrosslyIncandescent1709 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There is no reason for frost and rhino to be so slow in the first place yet frost is slow while rhino is not... the people responsible for balancing are just preferring some frames over others, it's sad but it's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueicyhydra Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Frost has no speed boosts where rhino has vanguard and prime he is now one of the fastest frames in the game and one of the tankiest and has amazing stuns and dmg boosts while frost is tanky the slowest frame in the game has basically no cc one mediocre snow globe and 3 terrible skills that cant do anything.

AuroraSonicBoom Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Forgot to add: With Loki most likely being the next Prime frame released, I'd like to see the devs keeping his health and shields unchanged, as those stats are clearly meant to be his weakness his powers are designed around.
