    Lately I've noticed quite a few ninjas (especially those that I recall used to abuse the 414 ability quite often) have developed their tactic by eggspamming the person they're attacking giving them a sort of knockback effect that they cannot fight the ninjas that are attacking (similar to using a rod in hg). Could the staff come up with a change in ninja eggs where you can only use one egg every 4/5 seconds? it would still be possible to use eggs but decrease the amount of eggspam you have to deal with ninjas in general

    I know ninja is nerfderino, but it really shouldnt be able to abuse such tactics, as with any class, the slowness and blindness and nasuea should be enough for a ninja to combo a person, not 10 eggs' kb

    This seems like a proper solution, but I also think that knockback should not be taken, measures would have to be taken in order for BrawlBot to detect that it's not AntiKB but I think it would be a nice choice because it's a bit annoying to reach the ninja and it doesn't even do anything that useful for the ninja.

    I don't really see that much of a use of the eggs of the ninja, I mean sure it blinds people and you don't know when or where the ninja is going to attack you, but in blindness you can still see people, they just have to be close to you, and Ninja is the exact class where you need to be close to someone to attack them. If these changes were to be made, there should be some sort of buff to the eggs considering Ninja can't last long in 1v2 situations. I'm not saying the ninja should be able to kill both players, it's more suited to recov/cap/1v1s, but they should have some sort of instant escape that's not like ender pearl, ender pearl can make you take fall damage and in a fight, you would be low on health, making that the killer. The eggs should be some sort of effective escape mechanism, these are just my thoughts.

    Edit: Maybe the egg could be a stun? If that were the case the cooldown should easily be over 3 seconds, but the stun could be like 1-1/2 second long, enough for the ninja to escape.

    So it should be slowness and nausea rather than blindness and nausea?

    Every 4-5 seconds seems way too high, especially since eggs move slow and you can't really predict where someone will strafe unless you can read minds. I think eggs should work like medic webs (sorta). You get an egg every 5 seconds, capped at 5 eggs. There's a cooldown of 0.5 seconds to prevent heavy eggspam.

    The main issue with this is that if you miss a hit, which will inevitably happen, you can't hit again.

    Came up with another one which prevents egg spam completely and avoids the problem @Xelia_ posted: there's no (or a very small) cooldown on eggs if they miss a player, and there's a 5 second cooldown if they hit a player.

    this doesn't excuse the fact that ninja has speed II and invis to compensate for a missed hit
