Idea Egg spam

This is a good idea, I think pudgy made a post about what they're brainstorming on fixing with the classes. I do like the 1 second or so delay. I use to be a ninja main and thought that even the eggs are a bit overpowered. I believe they're looking to take away the blindness and slowness from the eggs. But also limiting how many eggs a ninja can throw at once would be a good idea. (Kind of how they did it for chemist so it reduces pot spam)

 

egg mana bar? archer mana bar? medic web mana bar? mana mana bar?

tbh at least 2 should be able to be thrown immediately after one another
and probably would be good to have a regen'ing egg concept too with a mana bar so u dont have a ton in ur hotbar that ur constantly failing to spam

but honestly not a very necessary change.... lets see stuff with necro, credits, etc get worked on

 

I think its fair, because if u keep left clicking the flag as heavy, no ninja can ever steal it.

i think we should just put a .75 egg delay on ninja and remove blindness or make the duration shorter

 

Personally I find eggs to be a huge aspect of ninja when trying to combo classes with large health pools. I like to think the I’m okay at aiming eggs but still I inevitably miss. I think a cool down would make it way harder for ninja to pull combo’s on people, which is one of the crucial parts of ninja in my opinion. I think it would be cool to see a cool down that is put in place after a successful hit with an egg that lasts 0.5-1 second to keep ninjas combo ability but reduce the amount of spam.

 

What im seeing here is to give ninja a fish pole

 

You need to realize that ninja has no armor.

 

Never found this to be a problem when I did play... I bet most of the ninjas who use a lot of eggs could combo me regardless :shrug:

 

1 second would be okay, egg spam can be kind of annoying but unless your really good at ninja it's hard to hit every single egg on one person, sometimes I egg spam someone and then run away

 

I feel like, if you want to nerf ninja and its eggs, while keeping its efficacy, you should remove the blindness caused from the egg.

Blindness stops your sprint, which is a major part for aspects of PvP like W-Tapping, with no sprint you do not have increased momentum. While keeping slowness, you'll be slower and have less momentum for ninjas to take advantage of, but you'll still have sprint which will allow you to increase and decrease you're momentum allowing for better hits and more even fights.

 

Half a second is the time it takes for hit delay on a player to reset. When you attempt to hit a player with a projectile when they are red or have been hit in the last 0.5 seconds, the projectile disappears. Making the egg delay exactly 0.5 seconds would just make it easier to chain the eggs to knock a player back and away from the flag/their destination. I think the delay should just be 1 second because it’s the ninja’s fault if they keep missing their eggs. Knockback should still probably stay though.
