[Nerf] Juggernaut

[Setery]

Current Juggernaut:
Iron Helmet, Diamond Chestplate, Iron Leggings, Iron Boots
70% extra damage reduction

Spoiler: Math

The damage reduction from armor is 68%
-Iron Helmet: 2 defense points
-Diamond Chestplate: 8 defense points
-Iron Leggings: 5
-Iron Boots: 2
-Total defense points: 17
-Total EPF (protection points): 0
Armor Calculation:
(100-17*4)*(0)*0.04*0.0075+(17*4)*0.01 = 0.68

68% damage reduction from armor
70% bonus damage reduction

Math for total damage reduction
(1-0.68)*(1-0.70)
= 0.32*0.3
= 0.096
1-0.096 = 0.904

90.4% damage reduction

Jugg gets in total 90.4% damage reduction and 30 total health (15 hearts)

Trooper deals 7.25 damage with a sharp 1 iron sword without crits

This means that Trooper deals 0.696 damage (less than half a heart) to a Jugg every swing which means that a Trooper has to hit a Jugg 44 times to kill a Jugg without regen.

Other things to note:

Juggernaut is effectively tankier than Dwarf is considering that Jugg has no requirements in order to become tanky.

Juggernaut can be healed by Medics.

Juggernaut's only counters are bow classes and potentially Warper when used correctly. Venom and Demo are not effective counter classes as they have to melee the Jugg instead of shooting from afar. Jugg's best counter is currently Pyro.


Proposed Nerf:

Change the extra damage reduction to 50%.

This will change Jugg's total damage reduction to 84% which means a sharp 1 iron sword deals 1.16 damage per hit (without crits).

Also remove the ability to heal Jugg's as Medic.

Thanks for the thread. A nerf's been added that reduces its damage reduction from 40% to 30% (not counting armor).
Additionally, one will be added that reduces the rate of healing for Juggs, making it heal from Medics 3x as slow. (Delay from 0.5s per heal to 1.5s)

We'll see how that plays out and adjust more as needed.
