Okay so I started playing Jerome as soon as he released for Halo Wars 2 and he suited my play style which was amazing! I do agree he needed to be nerfed slightly but after playing a few games as him I feel they’ve over done it.
For the first start of a match there is just no reason to waste any in game currency on bringing him out if you’ve already got ‘time for heroes’ because his health is EXTREMELY low especially in the mantis. I feel it’s ruined his play style how much they nerfed him, but like I said… He needed to be slightly nerfed but they out did theselves with this nerf which I feel ruined him as a leader.
Yes because people are cry babies, serina & yap will be nerfed also…

Judging by the rapid response balancing, I think 343/CA knew Jerome would need re-balancing before they released him.
There’s no doubt in my mind that initially he was broken. I haven’t played since this newest update so I’m not sure of where he stands now, but I wouldn’t simply chalk it up to people being crybabies as for why he was nerfed. There was a problem that needed to be addressed.
Nope every dlc leader( except Johnson ), & spam strategy has been cried about… then nerfed:ok_hand:

You don’t think that any of those strategies were cheese?

Nope, not at all I play a lot & have never said nerf or op, only buff anti air. Kinsano ,Jerome ,garrison colony no problems just learn to counter. 
flamethrowers rush has been pretty cheddar at times but never nerfed…
Just so ur all aware. Johnson rabbits still beat everything banished have at the start. Its quite sad tbh
His command Mantis was a bad idea from the start, it’s essentially a free unit. It’s unbelievable nobody on the dev team caught how OP the Mantis was, or how short it’s cooldown was. 343 has had a lot of issues balancing UNSC, they’re often stupidly OP on release and then get nerfed into oblivion. They should aim for making each UNSC leader around the same strength as Cutter overall.

Colony has been untouched.
But I’d like to play more with Jerome before I say he was nerfed too hard.

Nope the nerfed garrison heros cause of colony.

That wasn’t a Colony exclusive issue, though he was the biggest offender

Also check patch notes June 28 colony was nerfed but they call him hunter captain.
I got destroyed against Jerome today, but then again it was against the same dude who beat me already twice in the past as Jerome.

I can understand your mentality of never complaining. ButI don’t respect that, mainly because feedback is a very powerful tool that should be encouraged more. The fact that you never complained doesn’t prove something was fine either.
If you don’t want to complain and you want to pretend everything’s perfectly balanced then fine, just don’t go about calling people cry babies for having a difference stance.
Well. I didn’t know that Commander Jerome’s ONLY play style was mantis rush…
That’s kind of boring in long run.
When Kinsano came, I didn’t know that only good strat. was jr rush. How boring game. Every leader have 1 strategy to use them properly and they nerf it…
Grow a beard or something if you don’t get anything new strategies to Jerome.

It’s ok to lose, I don’t blame dlc, spams, or teammates only that I was not ready it’s my fault, no reason to 
. New leaders becoming useless. Cutter, atriox still better.

Yep some people just have the gift 
.,
not going to lie. the nerfs to jerome were a bit rough. the mantis having a 70 second timer would have been enough.
i was beating jeromes left and right before in unranked matches. but then again that’s not the highest level of play so…
