hurricane balance

[scarlet sleet]

Hurricane side effect - for every 4 rounds fired 5% of your hp gets deducted from your robot.

*This effect stacks for each identical
Mounted weapon

Maxinum of 6 hurricanes

terrible idea

but i get trying to fix afk hurricane players

[sleek raft]

So if a robot has 4 mounted hurricanes and fires 16 rounds, 20% of their HP will be deducted as a side effect of the hurricane weapon. This adds an element of risk and strategy to using hurricanes in battles, as players must consider their HP and the potential consequences of using these powerful weapons.
So it's a big no!

It can literally reach the enemy spawn early game. The chinese hurricane bots are already bad enough. To make things worse which they were already are, these can be upgraded to mk2 and 3, increasing the damage to an unholy amount.
I thought this game is supposed to be fun and immersive, not " i'll stay in this spot for the rest of my life while i kill everyone with this totally not overpowered weapon i just recently brought from the market"

[scarlet sleet]

Besides it perfectly fits the "with great power comes with great responsibility" stuff

[night junco]

Your solution for this is to make a weapon literally unusable

Thats not a balanced solution

[scarlet sleet]

Well you can still use it during a battle, but not for long. Choose your target wisely, then shoot.

I just dont like on how these chinese hurricane bots just spam missiles early game, like this

[night junco]

If its really a problem just get out of their line of site or kill them
My suggestion for a nerf would be 1100 range -> 800 and a slightly lower projectile speed

[scarlet sleet]

500m range and a longer reload time will do

[night junco]

No, we’re not ruining a weapons because of tankers

[scarlet sleet]

Im starting to think that you are using hurricanes as your main...

[soft remnant]

Projectile speed should be lowered significantly so players can see it coming, but it could still be viable

[scarlet sleet]

They already deal enough damage to kill a fenrir in seconds, especially the mk2's

[twilit yew]

Noway a bronze suspecting of their superiors

[twilit yew]

Speed is fine, like you can act when you hear or see it

[soft remnant]

Personally I don't mind these weapons. But think about how it is for the lower league players, with slower bots, who have to deal with the tankers/farmers. Lowering the speed would help them without ruining the weapon's main purpose, which is suppression.

[night junco]

Im starting to think you dont know anything about balancing

[scarlet sleet]

Nuh uh

[night junco]

Ah yes “nerf a weapon to the ground and make it useless because its annoying me in bronze league”

Like the guys above said, it should have a lower speed and i think it should have a lower range

[novel verge]

I think a range nerf is all it needs

the speed is fine, but the fact that so much tanker ai relies on just standing there makes me think that lowering the range to 800 makes it a lot less likely for bots to just spawn in and start launching, theyd have to walk
