#Crossbow Clubhouse is too good.

Pretty simple suggestion. I think it's range should be reduced to 8. At 10 range (and being place-able further ahead than other buildings), it gets a lot of value across the bridge. I think bringing it down to 8 range will make it much more balanced as a defensive tool.

It wasn't being played at 0.7s attack speed, is incredibly overpowered at 0.5s attack speed - maybe it's worth trying at 0.6s? Reducing its range would make it feel really similar to Magma Cannon I feel

it is good against low mana stuffs and weak against big dudes e.g. mardread

They definitely need to fix the missing placement aura on it.

yeah that's the first step

#

and then see if the range is still a problem

they just need to fix the missing placement aura in it, this bug allows for an extreme bridge defense stance, that is only counterable by time or spells

After getting brutally assulted 4 times in a row, I'd like to add more to this post

#

It definitely needs more then just an aura fix for a nerf. The reason I think it needs a range nerf is because it's bridge presence is way too powerful. Simply removing the placement bug won't eliminate that.

95% of the time it's an auto play straight down the middle to poke down the opponents bridge pressure, while shortly afterwards you get the Crossbow Dudes as a split bridge grab. Reducing it to 8 range means you'll get way less automatic value by mindlessly slapping it into the central split. (Combined with the aura placement fix)

Also, if you are mainly a 2v2 player, it will come off as much weaker. Cards like these provide far more value in 1v1 where smaller plays have bigger impact.

Sorry the best we can do is make it pop its roof off and build a new Clubhouse wherever it lands after a few seconds; does that work for you?

It's going down to 0.6s as well; it was unplayable at 0.7s, and opaf at 0.5s, so maybe this is the sweet spot?

Did you stutter?

both - 0.6s and placement aura is being added (so you can't play it right next to the bridge)

Gotcha

...hoping this means "placement aura is being added" and not just "bodging it so you can't play it by the river. but the tower is fine"

Ask in the PTR chat to clarify?
