Bangalore Buff Idea: Damage upon missile landing

Bangalore actually feels pretty balanced to me. Not overpowered, but still brings something to the table. However, her Ultimate feels a little off. It's almost impossible to get damage with it unless...

@billybobbjoebob This is actually an extremely valid point.

In reality being directly hit by a missile would most certainly kill, but for game balancing purposes that's ridiculous. So some damage at least would be a good step.

Why in the WORLD would you bring REALITY into this game? In reality, we cannot respawn, so after 1 version of each Legend world wide dies, we're out of legends. Reality has much less place in a game world than some people would like it to.

  @Aegis_Kleais Its not pure reality. It's only partial reality. Kind of like how the game has gravity and how if you get shot, you get hurt. Those are both reality things. I'm only saying partial reality. In reality, a missile landing on you at that speed would kill you

    @billybobbjoebob The problem with partial reality is "Who picks what parts of reality are included". It's a game; it's obvious it's not ARMA, so one shouldn't expect a 100% adherence to real-world phenomenon.
    
    In reality, you can't fall from 10,000 feet and land with an oomph. There's so much that "in reality", could not be done in this game. Reality is a blueprint for a small part of the game, but shouldn't be taken too literally.
    
    As for buffing Bang's ult, I'm for it. It's sad that a soldier has artillery that is weaker than Gibraltar's. When I'm in a Bangalore Artillery field, I don't feel the need to rush out. But when I'm in Gibby's, I book it.
