Hayden11121 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Whoo hooo. 500 damage to only chargers! Smaller hitboxes for leapers and exploders! Definitely worth 100 energy, RIGHT GUYS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllabea Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You could always not try to literally dis-arm Infested with Loki. There's always Invisibility. Or you could build an Ember. Or Nyx. Or Rhino. Infested already are only Melee, and you want a skill designed to make enemies drop their guns and switch to their melee weapons 'effective'? Why use Skill A to make Effect B happen when Effect B is default already on that enemy type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matakage Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Different powers for different enemies. They're already weak to most melee weapons, so exploit your invisibility and save Radial Disarm for armed troops. Not ever power has to be useful in every situation.

Hayden11121 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Yea, why use Loki at all! Screw fixing things, just use something better! Balance isn't an issue at all! Realistically it should do something. Telling me not to use it does nothing helpful.. EDIT: Pointed at second comment, not at third.

Yeah man. And since we are already at this topic. When is trinitys ult going to be usefull against any kind of enemy as well. Oh, I forgot, It wasnt even meant this way... Same goes for radial disarm. You know what the skill does, it disarms the enemy. So why are you expecting it to be "usefull" against an enemy that is not even using any weapons.... I mean. really....

--Sokol Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Using radial disarm on infested. Why? Because F*** logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically it should do something. Telling me not to use it does nothing helpful.. EDIT: Pointed at second comment, not at third. Radial Disarm, to me, isn't even supposed to do ANY damage. If you want it to be more 'useful', then why don't you tell us what you'd do to make it better than it currently is? Tell us the logic behind how making melee-only units drop their guns and switch to melee, which is what the skill is for, will work. EDIT: What should it do? Tear their arms off? Their arms are their melee weapons. Radial Disarm doesn't work against melee weapons only ranged weapons. Think Ancients use guns? Their melee weapon just has stupid long reach.

ArcSynder Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 What if it made them stagger/slowed them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllabea Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 What if it made them stagger/slowed them down? Then it wouldn't be Radial Disarm it'd be Wyrm's Crowd Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'd say it's not so bad, though it would be nice if Radial Disarm could "pop" runners, since there whole body is a weapon of sorts. It'd still be less useful than Miasma for killing everything, but it would still help you clear out a crowd so you can focus on finishing off the chargers and leapers.

Radial Disarm currently does high damage to Chargers, and partially damages "disarms" Runners and Leapers, but removing an arm and a leg, which slightly reduces their movement speed.

Reaver_X Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 what if radial disarm, effects the rate at which infested enemies can attack you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageMeat Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 What if Radial Disarm reduced Runners and Leapers to mere Crawlers, and removed Ancient's abilities? And kept on knocking down and damaging Chargers like it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden11121 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Make leapers not leap, make exploders "Pop", or just generally making them slower would be nice. A temporary remove of the Ancients powers would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyicon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Personally, I'd like to see Ancents stop and look around in abosolute astonishment as they realize they need to lean over and pick their own arms up off the floor before continuing their attack. Then, a second wave of shock hits them as they can't figure out how to lift their first arm without one already re-attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneBite Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 radial disarm does hurt infested, but its too low to be of any use, loki is for crowd control, if the infested horde is charging, use a decoy then shoot or melee them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
