Q skill range : shredder and storm
#1
Hi,

I would like to see the range of those skill change :

shredder :
the Q skill is suppose to deal twice dammages in 400 range.
I find it really too short and not easy to use.
the lowest range in weapons must be 555 (if I am correct) and most close range builds are between 555 and 700 (750 maybe).
Imo shredder is made for close range and the fact that Q skil gives bonus when close seems to have been made in that spirit. But being forced to come too close to creeps or tanks to cast Q skill is not balanced with the weapons range.
maybe increase the 400 range to 600 or 700 so a shredder can cast Q when weapons start firing.


storm :
I dont know whats the cast range of the Q skill, but when I play this tank (always to counter some air builds) the Q skill which is suppose to deal twice dammages to air is like a handicap because :
  • storm has less speed than other air tank (before buying speed).
  • air tanks always move and can retreat fast so to get in range you have to take too much risk (and storm with lower speed and not much hp is really vulnerable).
  • the tank canon is 1050 range and is a safe harrass to air tanks, mines are safer too with sure hit (you cant miss target like Q skill), and the "pull" skill is good but hard to use with the Q skill.
  • the dammage of this skill on ground or creeps is like a waste if you dont hit an air tank in the process.
  • the splash area is really small to hit tanks that keep moving (so you have to anticipate their move and cast in their futur trajectory which is far in their camp when they retreat).

So could it be increase to 900 or 1050 range like canon (maybe 1050 too imba but storm is suppose to counter air and air tanks are in most case build for mid range or long range).


All this thought is imo a good way to promote the use of thoses tanks. Because when you think about it the base dammages of those spells (when no bonus) are weaker than tier 1 tank : light tank or heli, and the cost is 3k and 4k. They have been made for non "regular" use (unlike light tank, heli, air zepp, heavy) and imo their Q skills are useless if not used in really rare moment of the game (for the prices of the tanks).

ty,
