a way to change mercs


(AKULA) #1

The THUNDER

enable thunder to carry a one flash mines (along with one concusion grenade) which will detornate when enermies close by walks on it much like proxy’s mine but has no damage and has flashing effect which will last for 3 seconds and just like mine the enermy can shoot at it and it will blow up without flashing anyone

and the flashmine could be design after this :https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M5_crowd_control_munition

And fragger
Reduce his frag cooldown to 15seconds
and give him a new ability FLAK JACKET.
now flak jacket will be like phantom’s reflective amour and has similar health and duration with 20 sec cool down after use and will stop any explosive damage with exception of skyhammer’s airstrike missiles and note that the flak jacket will only save fragger from a explosives and npt bullets so it will not be over powered in any way

phantom
now phantom will have emp shockwave ability which will be like pheonix’s healing pulse but it will go through walls and disable any of enermy’s gadget with in range and shockwaves can be initiated while in cloaked mode and can also disable pheonix’s healing pulse , ammo and health station and this will award him with xp points

also phantom will get passive boost where he will regenerate health much faster while in cloaked mode

he will also get third ability called heartbeat detectors which detects any enermys to phantom only with in 5m range

Errr, is that all? You only want to buff these three mercs?

For Fragger he 100% does not need either of those things. His cooldown is fine and his health is already too high (Imo), not to mention that you want to buff Fragger against the only thing that can take him down quickly. For Phantom he should/ would only if this were to ever be a thing (unlikely) get ONE of those things, and he should not be able to stop the nanites of Phoenix so as to not make him all powerful and a must have. As for Thunder this is another thing that is totally unnecessary, considering we dont even have him yet and he is basically going to be a slightly tankier Fragger with concussions.

Hate to rain on your parade but I dont think these are viable or balanced changes.

Phantom had a grenade at one that i’m not 100% sure was Vassilis Heartbeat sensor, also a sniper.
But most of your ideas won’t work out well in-game i’m afraid.
