Louie’s wire traps

[vocal birch]

You can destroy them already, his traps have been cut down so much, they don't do damage to buildings now and they roll back 5 seconds

[stone jasper]

if they do become breakable, make it so if you accidently hit the string, it activates

[void bay]

bomb defusal lmao

[stone jasper]

or else you are giving everyone the ability to destroy louies damage output, which in turn makes his tripwire kit useless

[mystic snow]

His tripwire is big garbo now

[vocal birch]

louie's been cut back a lot traps

[void bay]

Tbh, although his tripwires definitely had to be changed, I still think his most frustrating playstyle to play against is just his default explosives

Not saying they're overpowered, just often not fun to deal with

[tough berry]

Tripwire is still the king of turtle gameplay

Just sit in house and be unraidable

With trap spam

[whole peak]

The counter really is the sniper but you can’t get that till higher tier with supplies

[stone jasper]

especially when your in the enemy house lol

[mystic snow]

Having played 10 games against him the past 2 days, i don't mind how he is balanced atm

[vocal birch]

Better give louis 2 traps, but a recovery time of 2 seconds instead of 4.

[mystic snow]

I can't for the life of me play Louie, worst character

[vocal birch]

Right now his perk is useless with traps

[stone jasper]

if they become destroyable, i agree with decreasing the plant time

[void bay]

It might also depend on who you mainly play - I play MJ
Could also be a skill issue on my end 😭

[whole peak]

Just make it so he can’t camp him self with an objective and the only counter is either another Louie or the sniper

[mystic snow]

Did you play in the playtest just now?

[vocal birch]

they're already destructible, bro

[whole peak]

Last test you couldn’t destroy them

[vocal birch]

I was playing louis right now, my opponents were destroying my traps.

they don't explode when you set new traps.

[whole peak]

Okay a few people told me they couldn’t be destroyed @mystic snow can you confirm?

If that’s the case then I think the character is fairly balanced

[mystic snow]

They can now be destroyed

And they do less damage

And they have a 5 sec cd

[stone jasper]

just remove them at this point lmao

fireworks do (maybe) more damage and cant be disarmed

plus knockback

and you can juggle them with 5 seconds between each throw

[whole peak]

I am going to remove this post as the issue has been resolved and the feedback is no longer needed. @mystic snow thank you

[vocal birch]

His traps have become a useless perk, something will have to be done about it

[stone jasper]

rip tripwire louie

🫡

[tough berry]

No I have work, but unless you gutted the damage and made it easily destroyable it’s a spammable undestroyable trap that still instakills.

[mystic snow]

Then any feedback from the last weekend playtest will be dated

[tough berry]

So just have Louie sit in house placing traps and defending all match with it

[mystic snow]

Damage nerf, placement cd of 5 seconds and now destroyable

[tough berry]

A lot weaker, it’s basically meant for house camping now though

[mystic snow]

Depends on playstyle, but yes you can do that

[tough berry]

I would have nerfed it heavily and made the tripwires also manually detonable with m2

So you can explosive jump with it

Way less versatile then his normal explosives still

[whole peak]

Just like Doreen’s spring loaded gloves

[tough berry]

Doreen’s alt everyone misuses, she’s still such a powerful tank.

[whole peak]

I use it for objectives, never waste on a fight outside unless necessary

[tough berry]

It’s a free full heal and can be used to win an objective guaranteed

[mystic snow]

Didnt see a single Doreen today, so yeah needs a wee buff or slight rework in some ways

Chad is a more fun melee pick

[tough berry]

I would change her ability to gradually heal her to full during the animation instead of bursting up to full once it goes off

[whole peak]

People just don’t use her right, she’s my favorite tank to play as

[whole peak]

Her spring Gloves definitely need a buff, they have major hit box issues when your face to face with another player.

[mystic snow]

Same feedback in our internal dev playtests, just dont think its been brought up enough sadly

[whole peak]

Tbf I never see anyone using them, they feel like a nerf to her when using them.

[mystic snow]

Agreed

[tough berry]

I could see them being a direct upgrade if there buffed tbh

Just gives her range

[whole peak]

They attack is slower which is fine but the hit box needs to hit like normal when face to face with someone otherwise they’re pointless to use

[elfin notch]

Let's hope it stays like that, it was the most broken tactic to play, just run and spam those tripwires. The main problem was not the dmg but the fact that the old ones were exploding upon placing new ones, you literally could not avoid dmg.
