Re: Lobas Jump Drive bracelet

Loba is perfectly balanced, the tactical is not made to throw it across the map. you can teleport hard to reach places, through a barred window or over the bridges and cracks where there is no ziplines.

2 days back, we were in the last ring, their is a crack in the mountain near to the building outside the pit. me and my squad on one side and the 2nd squad on the other side. and the ring closing there with an advantage to our side.

I closed the crack with my wattson's fences. to make it harder for them to push through it. at the end, I managed to down 2 of them, and Suddenly Loba was shooting me from the left side. an area which is impossible to travel through normal climbing and very far to travel by foot through the ring. luckily my teammates was ready to shoot back and downed here and we won the game.

if that player teleported earlier, or their attach was organized more probably, our chances to win would have been much less.

  • @Zeues-1992 Keep the delay after Warping, but let us strafe/sprint(if not shoot) after throwing the bracelet. You are just locked in animation the second you throw it and can't even sprint.
  • @Zeues-1992 But you have already decided the trajectory and tossed the bracelet in air, so 'controlling the bracelet' is already done. Unless the jump drive tech can only teleport you at a certain speed, but if you slide on a slope and can teleport that's also out the window.
  • @Zeues-1992 Gameplay should be prioritised over lore but I'm sure there is a way they can honour both.  She is reasonably balanced but I personally feel she's missing something. As @BaldWraithSimp said, having the ability to run and/or slide even if not being able to shoot either before or after she uses it (although it would be great if she could do both!) I think is important. Maybe even having the ability to left click and drop or right click and land in the air to drop into a slide. I don't know, just throwing thoughts out.

    @BaldWraithSimp You are locked in animation due to it can be released upon tapping Q again. So it is ensuring it drops exactly where you want it to.
