You do realize... since it came outta my head.... it was going to be some sort of ridiculousness. Just like my Vagalioning skills on a good day.
i agree on this. Unless the nades do 75-200 dmg per nade that hits DIRECTLY, i wouldnt want to play the race due to how difficult it is to kill someone with a nade... heck the ONLY time in my life that i EVER hit anyone with a nade, it was on militia when i hit masskid the invisible vaga with a crit grenade that ricochetted to my face and fucking insta-killed me in my own fucking spawn.... I will never forget that day lol...
the ONLY thing that can offset this difficulty is if the player receives conditional damage, much like gw2. if the flash didnt kill him, it would do 10% dmg per second to any enemy that got blinded by the effect for those 2-3 seconds....
only then would the race have any survival chance.
The race isn't intended for people to actually be able to maintain a positive KDR and farm kills freely on it. If that were the case, then I would've scrapped the idea and ended up recreating races that already existed or made something full of complete and utter god-like powers... Or something that had no benefits whatsoever and could still be playable.
Also, it's not really common to see a flash bang or smoke grenade used in WCS unless its a hell hunter. Like almost ever.
yeah I would go with an ult that locks someone down then...roots/medusa style. Would make hitting them with nades easier but also you'd have to bank it off the wall or something because they can still shoot you if you run up to em...good balance.
I honestly had debated to myself about the ultimate. A teleport like human? No - we don't need those. Got chameleon, Human, and Beast doing that shit already.
What about a suicide bomber? Well.... you aren't really fighting close quarters like a flame predator, nor are you playing like an undead / chameleon. OH OH, BURN PEOPLE. Nahhh, blood mage got that. As well as beast and. . . chameleon...
The hell does chameleon not have? Oh - damaging the killer. Hells Demon has it. Ever been killed by it? I have... many times. I hate them for it, since it hurts. A lot.
Also - Flying would be stupid. We're not making another Santa. Black hole is all Shadow of the Void. Reviving is silly, since the user is gonna die constantly anyways. Complete Invisibility - Flash bangs compensate.
Roots - Athena and Night Elf (and Chameleon!). If this race had it, the roots would have to last approximately 3 seconds, but the CD would be like 15-20 seconds long. Even then, we don't need another one of them running around, granted they would make great compatibilities if you play together properly.
I have also debated on the Eva ultimate, except it spawns a flash bang inside of the target rather than dealing +200 dmg to the target. The reason I didn't do this is well, exactly what people were doing with eva ultimate when eva was out... spam it. I'll pass on this concept.
