Undertow Post 13.3.1 -- Still Inadequate

[Toom1275]

Hydroid still hasn't recovered yet from the unnecessary and unjustified nerf to Undertow from 13.3.0 yet.

 

Now that power efficiency helps with the energy drain for it, it's now only about half to two-thirds as efficient as it used to be rather than less than one-third.

 

It still takes more energy than it used to to maintain the power for a certain duration, and energy siphon is not properly applied while it's active.

 

So right now it's still far too expensive to use, while not doing a single point of damage more than it had before, so there's no point trying to kill anything stronger than level 5-10 with it.

 

Being a mass-mob-collector to use with a teammate's ult is only viable if it can be maintained for up to a minute or maybe more without undue energy cost, due to the abysmally slow trickle of enemies in defenses and such.

Maybe they should make it into some kind of trap that you can either leave behind to catch up with your team or draw enemies in to get kills. I don't know, I'm still a newbie. just a thought
