Tinker exploder

[Exodus]

Sorry exodus - i like your ideas and work on the map - but i think its good to give you feedback if a part of the game makes a step back then forward - and the explosive thing is such a part

You know, I kind of have a conflicting position on that matter. On one hand I can understand that people are complaining, since Explosives have a rather big influence on the gameplay and are not properly balanced as of yet. I took this risk willingly, to kinda force players to give me the feedback that I need, to balance the Explosives.
On the other hand I have to point out, that there was a beta. Not just a short one, but one that was online for nearly four months.

I don't want you guys to have an unbalanced map to play, but I felt I had to do it this way, so you actually tell me what's wrong with the Explosives. Because of the big influence that Explosives can have and the different kind of strategy and gameplay they provide, they are - in my opinion - a good addition to the game. I also want to point out, that the remake of the Explosives was supposed to open up new uses for them. You don't have to die anymore, to be actually able to use them. They have great synergy with some skills and items now and may provide a different way to play the game, which did not exist before.

I want you guys to consider all this, before demanding to remove the Explosives from League again.


@Max:
You say that the Defuser would make the Exploder strategy useless. I'll tell you some numbers now, so that you may see yourself, why this might not be the case:

Tinker level 1 Teleport range: 1000
Tinker level 2 Teleport range: 1625

Exploder Teleport range (the same on every level): 2250


Current Remote Fuse range: 1500
Mine Defuse Pack range: 1800

I think I'm going to keep the ranges of the Defuser. At the start the Remote Fuse has an advantage (but you'd also have to get the Fuse really early), after that it's going to be close. But keep in mind, that the target area of the Remote Fuse is only 125, which is really small, so hitting the Tinker / Exploder won't be easy.
