mody_bird_21 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 she turns shield targets into flesh and restores shields. What's so bad about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStag Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 They say she is bad because they don't know how to play her. Mag is awesome if played correctly, and not just against shielded factions. You were probably just hearing some of those Rhino players. Ya, don't listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns2PvP Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 They believe it because they do not know how to mod / use mag properly. Against grineer? Yeah she can be pretty bad.. shes not good vs armor.. something with a shield? Pft, what shield? What's a something? I didn't see it exist, did you ?

N1ightstrider Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Cerberus Pluto. I only ever really take her there or in a corpus excavation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inappropriatename5818 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Depends how you look at her. In corpus missions she's a god, in grineer missions she's probably the worst frame because she will die in a couple bleed procs while doing no damage.

Imaru Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My gues is that they think she's bad because she can't nuke an entire room at once regardless of faction, whereas Excalibur can. The difference is that her nuke scales endlessly in the right circumstances, given that the damage is based off of the shields removed, and Excal's falls off. Basically people don't know how to play her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tailboy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I thought mag prime was pretty bad too, until I maxed her out and found she wrecks against corpus and sometimes corrupted when used correctly, currently I enjoy mag prime, I don't find much time to use her since I enjoy loki prime more, but mag prime really is good.

Coren024 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 She is probably one of the best frames vs corpus and sometimes corrupted. When one of those shield drones is out covering all of it's allies in shielding, use 2 with high enough power strength and those shields become nukes.

Paradoxbomb Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I believe the primary gripes people have with Mag are: 1) Low base health means she bleeds like a sacrificial goat under heavy fire, undermining her high shields. 2) CC isn't very viable. Pull throws enemies whereever which makes it more annoying than useful when spammed, and enemies attack the instant Crush ends, so it's not much of a life saver. 3) Not very effective against Grineer or Infested, meaning her skills only shine against the Corpus or Corrupted. Of course I wouldn't say any of these make her a bad frame, she could use some improvements here and there but I still think she's a fun one to play as, and viable at high levels in the right hands.

Lancars Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 She is still good. That pull breaks up clusters really well. I used her in an ODD and she was great for keeping those armor aura ancients from clustering and making everything unkillable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JT-_-R3W1ND Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 People allways says something. Queen doesn't care this. Mag is most powerful frame in game. Just try to get why, and you half way of world domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaSnipe11 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Mag has been used for warframes longest survival runs ever due to shield polarize using percentages instead of numbers. So if you mod strength you can take away all enemy shields and restore all of your teammates shields. I think a lot of people think she is bad because she's a starter frame.

WaRDeMoN787 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 She was my first frame and one of my favorites. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theasl Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Mag is by far the best starter frame. Pull is crazy OP: it has a large AoE, knockdown, and decent damage - and as the 1 skill with minimal casting/cooldown time, is easily spammable, especially if you have Streamline and/or Flow (and/or any dual mods, don't remember if there are any). Sure, one Pull may not do much, but string together 5 or 6 and suddenly those Grineer heavies aren't looking so tough after all. And if that doesn't kill them, you still have enough energy for the ult. Now, I don't know how well she projects into the endgame, but she can be pretty effective in high level content if you've got a team of high damage frames: Pull the enemies off their feet, and let the other guys do the rest.

cyrus106 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 because they are awful players that do not realize that she is the ONLY FRAME WITH INFINITE SCALING DAMAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climatiseur Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You have to know many people see things too straight forward and are not able to discover alternate ways to use a frame. Many people focus on her 1 & 2 only, which overlooked her 3. Although her 4 really lacks behind as an ult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureTerra Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I wish i'd started with Mag instead of Volt. But i was falsely lead by my love of lightning and the words "an alternative to gunplay". Which should be amended as "alternative to gunplay once heavily modded with rare and expensive mods". She's a Keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashSpider Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 She not bad, but Mag is literally handicap when it comes to Grineer, making her a niche frame. When it comes to shielded targets though, that where her greater strength comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petersheikah Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 She's insanely strong vs Corpus, and pretty fun too. There's nothing better than looking at your enemies exploding while you spam abilities and restore your team's shield, overcharging them. When it comes to Grineers though she's so terrible.

Aesthetic_Dialectic Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I hardly see anyone say Mag is bad ever. Most people put her as one of the best frames, especially against corpus. I think only new players who don't understand the value of crowd control really say she is bad. We do all have to recognize that crush is a horrible power and needs a rework or to be replaced badly.

WERElektro Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Mag is awesome. But most starterframes got a bad image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)bLaiiSe_go_brrr Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Mag is one of the best. Transient Fortitude was a godsent for her. Now with max range and pwr strength she is even more devastating. I love to see all the numbers popping up at the beginning of a void defense mission when most of the enemies spawned and I activate SP. Even bigger boom with a Nova. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
