Hulls And speed - Tom-Ace - 2010-05-03 I was thinking sometime ago that hulls do to their added weight should reduce speed by a small amount, iron -5 speed, steel -10, gold -15 maybe. This would add a new more in depth builds like, should i go all hp and be slow or less hp and fast, having a sky tank with 2 gold hulls and going 512 speed is crazy if you ask me. Re: Hulls And speed - Prog - 2010-05-03 That would reduce possible strategies, as something like heli->inf/sky fort would be impossible with the speed loss due to 2+ hulls. Re: Hulls And speed - AGGInator - 2010-05-04 whot? causes new balancing issues... and weapons should slow the tank by weight too? omg :lol: Re: Hulls And speed - RaptorXI - 2010-05-04 Prog Wrote:That would reduce possible strategies, as something like heli->inf/sky fort would be impossible with the speed loss due to 2+ hulls.So what? Air tanks have already a major advantage because of their mobility. And although they have little less hp the cost hull(s) is still cheaper than the cost of the speed bost for the ground tanks. Or how many light tanks, demolishers saving up for one of the final tanks have you seen so far? Re: Hulls And speed - RaptorXI - 2010-05-04 My suggestion would be: -5 for every hull a tank carries.

So basicaly your argument is what? I claim it's bad to lose strategic variety, you say it's not because other strategies are impossible as well? I don't get it, please enlight me. Re: Hulls And speed - RaptorXI - 2010-05-04 The question is why builds like heli => inf is possible and light tank => frost is impossible (at least versus very good players). Air tanks just have a major advantage because they can use the use the map terrain better. And aren't you against Normal Modus?

Re: Hulls And speed - BENNIE.FM - 2010-05-04 lol althend is noob !! towards the suggestion no i agree with prog.

Air tanks just have a major advantage because they can use the use the map terrain better. I still don't get your argument. The question here is about implementing something (hull reducing speed). I claim that is not a good idea because it might have negative influence on strategic variety. I don't see how an air tank advantage connects wirth that argument. And i'm in no way against normal mode (except for league ranking, as it is extremly hard to balance valueing trader/exploder in a system which does not only rely on win/lose). Re: Hulls And speed - RaptorXI - 2010-05-04 I give up.

Re: Hulls And speed - IlPalazzo - 2010-05-05 Prog Wrote:That would reduce possible strategies, as something like heli->inf/sky fort would be impossible with the speed loss due to 2+ hulls. It wouldn't reduce the possible strategies, it would merely change the strategies that will work... If the hull is buffed to compensate for the speed reduction, the Heli -> Infernal/Sky Fortress build could still be very possible. On the upside, it would also allow a greater number of late-game sniper builds to come into play, which tends to lose effectiveness as players begin to purchase Speed Packs, teleporters, and short ranged weapons. It would also make it a little easier to use targeting and channeling spells - particularly the Ghost Tank's Life Steal/Ghost Units, Heavy Tank's Ultimate, Demolisher's Artillery Shot, etc. Re: Hulls And speed - Althend - 2010-05-05 I am against. It would increase the power of saving strategy. Going to bigger tanks would be even more important. Re: Hulls And speed - Prog - 2010-05-05 It's true that you could try to compensate the loss by buffing, but the implications of buffing hulls are unpredictable in my opinion. We could easily see something like scouts only in mid again if the values are not chosen cautiously (which is by no means impossible, but is neither easy). I don't think it is worth the effort with the league, a tournament and sc2 on the way. It's better to focus on those instead of rebalancing a lot. On another note: What do you refer to with "late-game sniper builds"? Mass long range? I doubt most people want to see that ones come into play more often. |
