Well i might have said somewhere, that i wasnt aware trader could use mines. Ive done it a few times now, its quite offensive but really hurts my trading. If anything, i'd rather see more types of 'mines' or traps because against pros, mines wont be worth the investment. They can get a form of detection like wards and just walk over mines and heal; too far from their side and you risk not getting any kills. Any offensive options including ones ive written here take away from trading potential, making you less effective as a trader.
This is kinda like a hybrid trader/tank that uses unique ways to help the team and kill enemies. It WOULD not work with the current trader tank, it would need a second trader to be made. Kinda like ghost tank and guard which are similar in roles but play out different - fat ass and combat support.
"If you want action, then don't play trader."
Trader sees action, almost entirely from manourvres around resources, trademaster, terrain and enemy tanks. I mean COMBAT action, where you kill the enemy.
This hybrid trader should have weakened trading capabilities or be able to choose whether to get X defensive skill or Y offensive skill. E.g. putting points into 'trap laying' instead of blink.
Trap laying: places a trap marker on the ground
Upgrade marker:
- Frost trap: slows tank
- Mine trap: allows placement of X number of mines into a single spot
- Emp trap: causes enemy tank to lose control and move straight for X seconds until regaining control
- Trader trap: enemy trader trying to get a resource will be stunned and has 50% chance to obtain or lose the resource
- Tank trap: prevents access like impassable terrain
Costs gold to upgrade, maybe specific resources needed as well like metal for the tank trap or cheese for trader trap.
EDIT: I looooove mines and will absolutely get mines every time im trader (i.e. everytime i play bt)
