[8.76] Raider Ulti Broken

[Saiyuki]

I think the attempts to nerf/balance the Raider finally broke it...

keep cool.. other than that, thanks for (not) participating in the beta, taking part of the discussions... gonna check the replay later...

(...) No damage dealt for either early recall or waiting for the countdown to reach 0 to auto tele back. (...)

if you abort the ultimate early by recalling the raider it won't deal any damage anymore as stated in the changelog

(...) lvl 1 deals 1200dmg SPLIT amongst ALL targets in range??? assuming 2 enemy creeps with enemy hero tank, thats 400dmg per target...

so far so good... but...

What happens if you want to kill just creeps, a single lane wave...that's 1200dmg/5 targets= 120 dmg per target MAX.

1200 damage / 5 targets = 240 damage per target

Don't even try middle lane creeps, you wont make a dent, for an ultimate spell on a 1.8k tank, im better off getting tinker and doing more dmg with grenade launcher.... The cheaper light tank and heli ultimate deals 800 dmg base to ALL targets affected....Light tank has larger AoE and heli has longer cast range than the mere 750 AoE on the Raider....

did you already figure out that you are able to use the other raider skills at the same time? reflecting damage, dealing additional damage or getting a good percentage of heal back?

Either way Raider becomes outgunned hella fast since you without an effective way to deal damage you need poison or other high dmg gun, i found it hard to save for earth robot even with leaver gold.... Nerfed Heal spell and other raider spells i can deal with, but nerfing the ultimate makes it barely better than tinker....at least you can farm with tinker, buff towers and teleport away from danger....If your not fed with raider, you are screwed long-term, but thats just my opinion.

thanks for your feedback even if, as already mentioned, it's quite late now. maybe the raider might get another update on the next version but i highly doubt it will be buffed.
