so i finally got around to playing glaz and have been maining him for the last few weeks and learned a lot of his strengths, weaknesses, and how to balance/fix them,
Now dont get me wrong glaz is a deadly operator and can be quite the menace in the right hands but the way ubisoft has changed him over the course of the game really irks me and im sure many people who played with him before will understand me. before glaz was changed at all his gun was a 1-2 shot to kill yet he was one of the lowest picked attacking operators and his 'gadget' was basically just an acog scope with more zoom. he was later buffed with a thermal scope with the ability to see through smoke in a small circle. THIS is when people started complaining and saying that his scope paired with the ability to see through smoke and able to two shot was overpowered and i was one of those people.
But i wasent a fan at all on how they counteracted this new beast of an operator. i think nerfing his damage was just lazy developing and not a fix to the problem. after all it obviously wasent his guns dmg that people were concerned about because nobody was complaining about vanilla glaz before all his changes. And its not that i just wanna be some overpowered monster running around 2 shoting people that im making this thread, its because i enjoy playing glaz and want to see him as a new and improved balanced operator.
Heres how i would go about tweaking glaz. My first request would be to return his damage to what it used to be. glaz is meant to be a sniper so give him the damage a sniper would have or else his gun is just a lower tier dmr. My second request would be to give his scope what i call 'charges' ive heard about this idea for glaz before and i think it would be a great improvement overall. glaz would have three scope charges which he can toggle on that last for 20 to 30 seconds each, after all three charges have been used glazes scope no longer has thermal vision and is just a regular scope. this would counter people that turn his scope on for the entirety of a match and hold down a hallway murdering anything that glows yellow. My third and final request would be to either remove his smokes completely or give him just 1. At the moment glaz can basically use only one smoke to completely fill a room and all he needs to do is aim really, the enemies cant see you but you can see them and having 3 of these is just too much in my opinion.
I really want to see glaz tweaked in upcoming updates and please feel free to share your thoughts with me and expose my flaws lol
