The tank cannon of the Goliath is, as it is explicitly stated in the tooltip, non-homing.the problem isnt the item but the ppl that are using it.
While I'm here I might as well answer to the original post. I guess it comes to no suprise to anyone, that I'm not going to remove the Acid Cannon. You don't like the playstyle of the Acid Cannon, I get that. But removing something, because players tend to use it in a inefficent way would lead to a pretty bland game.
Usually when you have 12k you either buy frosty or save for bigger tank so you can be useful to team and like i said earlier the timing for that is 40 min + . Since only less experienced players are buying the weapon they do harm the team(they take most creeps due to damage/range and they have the least hp in team ). So one suggestion that i might add is making the weapon cost more(15-20k) with additional damage ofc. that way whoever wants to use it wont harm the team at important timings in game.
@teo_live: i couldnt care less who are you or which accounts you use i really dont.
My point is that although elo might have it flaws its generally right (meaning in the long run you will always be around same elo) which represents players skill. Also i checked both of your accounts elos(the ones that you mentioned)
teo_live elo 1356 : you havent used this account in a while (although within 3 months since it exists). Seriously getting that low at elo means that your team always loses. And see who is the common player in those teams "surprise its you". That means that the very low elo player is doing something wrong and needs to change it so he gets better (my personal opinion you can argue about it but the prof is there)
I dont care what kind of skill you have but when you argue with players who clearly know how the game works i dont think you are in any position to argue to that extend.
Quote: Though I do claim to thoroughly research most of my topics before I postIf what you write here is true then if you spend more time playing and less researching you might become a good player and also
Here is a topic for you to research so you can argue about it with me later "FInd a way to win games or at least have some win strikes when your elo is above 1500"
about urbanflare accounts well i wont talk about them much since you say its a shared account but just a reference
at 1 realm it is inactive and has an elo 1447 (again really low elo)
and at another realm but this one is active its at 1484 again low elo.
Again all i see from the accounts you are using is that all your games you always have way better players as your teamates and for like 90% of the games (i am being generous here) you are considered to be 1 of the 2 worst players in team.
Quote: As for your suggestion about playing in a team all worse then me that is quite unrealistic thanks to the team equilizer. Not to mention Acid Cannon is a support weapon, why choose a support weapon if you don't have a team to support?its quite unrealistic because your team loses most of the time dont blame it on team equilizer blame it on your skill level (my personal opinion from my own experience, even when i was less skilled i never fell that down at elo and with time i became better because I RESEARCHED THE GAME AND GOT SOME ADVICES FROM OTHER PLAYERS )
i know there are support items and tanks but a support weapon

i dont know what you have been smoking but how is acid cannon a support weapon? it supports team at exactly what? i really must be stupid because i cant find a single way in which that weapon supports the team.
