i see the need of a 1100 gold, close range weapon. with close range i mean about 600.
the only tank who could use that weapon from start in normal mode is the demolisher in certain matchups, since he got enough hitpoints to use a short range weapon (for example on a side lane vs. demolisher or antigrav).
the second tank who would benefit greatly from that kind of weapon is the goblin shredder. his cost was reduced to 3000 to make him a starting tank option, but what to get with him once you earned a few coins?
multibow? not supporting the early aggressive potential of the gobbo
glaive cannon? maybe
basic cannon, tornado summoner and machine gun are quite pricey, because you earn money very slow without a weapon.
longer-ranged weapons do few dps. the shredder is a close combat tank with many hitpoints from start.
and: both these tanks need some love to compete the other starting tanks.
since other tanks hardly benefit from this weapon, i think its a nice option to give them a new tactic.
what weapon should be cut?
an important question. i would not cut a weapon below 3k gold. all strating weapons (maybe except grenade launcher?) have their purpose, and i think cutting a rarely used 4k-10k weapon would be best. but of course many options are possible here.
do you like that idea?
