Troop Command is imbalanced = (

[Kenny]

i dont rly know what you're talking about, but it sounds like a bug... if you have 3 troop commands, all 3 have the same cooldown, so it is useless to have more then one

Bug? At this point I would guess it falls into typical game functionality, though aspects may have been overlooked. By allowing items to be active on towers/barricades, whether Tinker-made or otherwise, you also allowed items such as Troop Command and Siege Pack to have individual cooldowns when placed on said towers/barricades.

Scenario:
I buy Troop Command.
I use Troop Command until I have like 3,300 gold.
I buy another Troop Command.
I buy a Barricade in one of the many purchasable areas available. (Which don't use up food by the way)
I put my second Troop Command in the Barricade.
I use both Troop Commands until I have like 3,300 gold, easily dispatching opposition in my lane thanks in huge part to the Endurance Aura from my Barricade and of course the Command Aura built into the package.
I buy another Troop Command.
I buy a Barricade in one of the many purchasable areas available.
I put my third Troop Command in the Barricade.
I use all three Troop Commands until I have like 3,300 gold.
I buy another Troop Command.
I buy a Barricade in one of the many purchasable areas available.
I put my fourth Troop Command in the Barricade.
I use all four Troop Commands until I have like 3,300 gold. (At this point I'd like to point out this is where AoE can potentially have limited use, at least with one player. Yes, each Troop Command will eat up about 10 food when deployed. When deployed is the key here.)
I buy another Troop Command.
I buy a Barricade in one of the many purchasable areas available.
I put my fifth Troop Command in the Barricade.
Oh snap, the enemy managed to nail two of my Troop Commands with an AoE. I'll just deploy my fifth Troop Command and well, my other Troop Commands should be nearing their cooldowns soon.
I use all five Troop Commands until I have like 3,300 gold.
I buy a sixth Troop Command.
I buy a Barricade in one of the many purchasable areas available.
I put my sixth Troop Command in the Barricade.
Keeps on going, keeps on going...

With one player this would be trouble enough, but get two or three players doing this early and you might as well spam -giveup.

Even use of just one Troop Command (I say this as if even having Troop Command in your inventory) is overpowered, as you dictate the pace of your enemy with this meager 2,500 gold item. They MUST preserve their AoE ability/mana until you use Troop Command or until said AoE ability can finish you off. Otherwise you're fleeing with very little health, if any. Even if you preserve your AoE ability, you'll be taking 1-2 seconds of enemy fire while doing relatively little damage to the target that matters, the enemy tank who is using Troop Command. In those 1-2 seconds, you also happened to take an extra 800-2,400 damage courtesy of the creeps spawned. Yep, totally not OP, nothing to see here.
