Change the Ravagers

Post by Tranquill » 15 Jun 2015, 03:30

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

At the moment, the Ravager is WORSE than the Warrior and the Runner for lots of reasons. Firstly, their size is huge like the queens making them a bigger target and make it harder to click stuff for them, also they are slow, resulting in them getting rekt a lot. Second, their charge ability sucks to use, by the time you get it off your target has already moved half a mile ahead of you and all that was done is that you moved like four tiles ahead. Third, You lose the ability to go into vents since you are so big which is understandable but, why wouldn't you want to stay as a Warrior? I think that their sprite should be smaller, the speed on them to increase a bit, and taking out the charge in favor for a higher plasma-cost pounce or something.

EDIT: Might I also add that the Warriors can stealth when they stalk giving less of a reason to "evolve" to a Ravager, it is basically a downgrade with how it is right now.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Warriors will not have to be forced to evolve into Ravagers by the request of their queen despite how bad they are and they will actually be helpful other than being a meat shield to smaller Xenos.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

It wouldn't make evolving to a Ravager a pain in the ass every time.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Change the Ravagers .dm file and sprite
Off Topic
Also why is Details a question when you have Benefits, they ask for the same thing

I think they speed should along with they health improved drastically, they ravagers for god's sake
They also have one of the best tackles along with the queen, but with the current speed and health its a bit hard to do

Exactly, they are supposed to be tanks but, their speed hinders their ability to run away and then they die because of how much max health they have.

More health!

Also some notes about the ravager
They do extra damage to the head
Use a flamethrower or any source of fire on them ....really...do it

We are not doing rebalances until the alpha. Rebalancing, is a big ol beast, that has to be done carefully.
