Give it a month and you can be sure the thread is in the back of the forum far enough that no one will be reading it anymore. And I think Tanker's little helper still IS useless depending on the situation, but that's not major enough to make it way stronger than a similar skill of a tank which costs about 4.5 times as much (hunter). On the other hand, if you gave the hunter the same kind of money for the bounty hunting skill - or actually more, as it only gets money for kills, which is about 1/6th of the time a distributor can get money (1/4th because there's 4 times more chance of an assist with 5 players, + a bit because dist. also gets money for conquering, buying support items etc). So, that would mean +1800 gold per kill on highest level - and even if we say that statistically you would only have half the chance of getting an assist because you don't always have all your team mates around (but that's something you can control), we'd still be at a factor of about 3, which would mean +900 gold at the highest level - would you find that overpowered? I would.
While the last post about being useless was more or less about "why I think this skill won't be usefull", the current one is based on simple math/statistics.
Btw. what's your oppinion on the other skills?
Thanks,
