Why Does Enemy Health Scale Faster Than Enemy Damage?

[Guest Tehnoobshow]

This makes Reflection even worse than it is conceptually since it takes like 5 minutes to kill a heavy with its own bullets.

Enemy design 101. We've been doing this since before Final Fantasy 1.

Because Warframe.

Scaling should be linear, not exponential.

[Boatsniper]

Because if enemies dealt the same damage to us as we do to them, we would die in one to two hits.

Infinitely scaling enemies demands infinitely scaling players. It's simple design logic.

Why?

 

Because we have about 40 mods that scale our damage, and 3 mods that scale our health.

 

It's also more "fun" for most players to deal more damage, as opposed to absorb more. People like making big numbers pop up.

 

 

So now, if the followup question is "is that a good thing?"...That's a different discussion.

[Thyriell]

Because Warframe.

[Azawarau]

Damage and healthj should scale slower for things like this

 

At the same time infinitely scaling powers would make enemies even more cakelike with it

 

Unfortunately its somewhat of a design flaw in this
