Casper´s drone need more range (E.M.P) +2 other balancing suggestions
Casper has a problem, the problem being that part of his kit is not playing the game, but staying in a corner watching a screen, this is very problematic because the player can easily get into the conclusion that playing Casper is a waste of time (unless you are camping of course), ill give y´all some suggestions that i think it could help reduce that general idea.
Yes, just like you read in the tittle, i am aware that the low range was there because the E.M.P could be used against vehicles in the past, and i completely support that, but now the thing is: It is not available anymore.
The current range for the Dron´s E.M.P is under around less than 30 meters to work (more like 25 but don't worry about it)
-Well i suggest that since the vehicle E.M.P is gone for good, it might be a good idea to give the players the option to not expose the Dron to inmediate danger each time they want to destroy any gadget on the map anymore, its basically a heavily nerfed M.A.V now (Unlike the one in battlefield 4), and guess how long you can destroy equipment with that thing, i put an image right below so you can see for yourself.
Well 30 Mts. is not a lot, just double the range and everyone will be happy (pretty please)
-The 2nd suggestion i have to offer is: Speed, the Drone is very, very slow, specially if you have it on the sky and need to close the gap to a gadget to destroy it, most of the time is more quick to just walk and shoot it yourself.
Again, i am aware why devs wont like the idea of that, we all know that there was one point in the past where the Dron could carry 3 c5´s on top of it, meaning that the player could destroy any tank with ease, trowing the balance out of the window.
-So make it faster, but if there is anything on top of the drone, just make it unable to move, that way you keep the speed, the Casper player wont be spending too long on the drone, and there is no more tank destroying drones.
-Finally, the 3rd suggestion i have to offer is: The thermal vision
I am unaware if it is intended to be this way, but sometimes when you enter a previously placed drone there is a cool-down on the E.M.P.
That is not something i am concerned about since i think it make some kind of sense having that there, but the thing is, if the drone has a cool-down on his E.M.P, that means the player cannot access the thermal vision.
That is a problem since if you have the Dron on a good position (So you could quickly access it and ping players around an objective lets say),and you don't have immediately the option to see them, it just slows down the play-style of the player.
Again, I can understand why a cool-down would be there but that there just looks like you are punish people who don't camp with Casper, Playing objectives, is kind of annoying, but not the end of the world with his kit, and i hope the devs encourage Casper players to get out of their cozy camper place and actually playing the game in a way that is more helpful for the team.
-So just make the thermal vision available even if the E.M.P is on cool-down.
Thanks for reading, my previous post about Irish´s trophy system was not so popular, so please let me know your opinion. (even if you are against the things i talk about) so we can hopefully call the attention of the ones above us.
