Runner/Warriors pouncing balance idea

[Screamingstar]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make it so when the alien who pounces you can not use their hands to attack/disarm or place hugger until it ends.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This will require aliens to have more teamwork and gives a marines a better chance to escape or attack back. It is more realistic if a Runner/Warrior has pounced on you and you are held down they are using their hands to do so making it near impossible for them to attack/Hugger someone at the same time.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When a Runner/Warrior pounces on you they can not use their hands to attack you or place a hugger until you both get up.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Make it so when a Runner/Warrior successfully pounces someone there hands are disabled not allowing to slap you with huggers and etc.

Oh than you have no problem also giving an explanation to your reasoning for sayning "no, just no".

7. Keep responses constructive. A +1 without any comments, doesn't tell us anything other than that you WANT something. If your going to reply about wanting something, explain WHY, and maybe help try to expand on the concept or give us more of a reason, than "+1". This helps us see it from another view, and maybe change opinions about implementing something, not to mention it might give us an idea of how to implement it.

At first glance, it seems like an easy method to balance out pouncing... But when you think about it further, it's a bit too much. The aliens simply won't have the teamwork most of the time to make this viable. Perhaps another method of balancing, such as a short timer to apply facehuggers, is more realistic.

Right, -1 from because they already have a large penalty against them for using pounce - once you've pounced, you can't move for about 3 byond seconds, meaning unless you pounce on a lone marine, you're already in a position of distress. Should you remove their ability to actually perform any action after pouncing, you've nerfed the only ability that they have to hunt to unusablity.

Why would you pounce then? Ever? That defeats the point of pouncing.

[Screamingstar]

The problem is where a runner or warrior can just pounce you one time and slash you into critical giving broken bones and internal or external bleeding. More than half the time if you get pounced with nearby marines they still fail to kill the runner/warrior(Main reason shotty dmg nerf). Let them keep the ability to put huggers on but either take away their ability to harm you while they are pouncing. Or either nerf the damage they can do while pounced.

No it does no defeat the point of pounces. As one you still stun and knock down and relieve them of their in hand objects. Two you can either call for help or a close by alien will kill or put a hugger on.

Pounce will be recoded in alpha, if not already.
