Shade - Slingshot
The Slingshot is now a redundant unit and seriously needs looking at since the release of the Shade. VS a Basilisk I used to understand that, even though Slinghot is a dedicated anti air weapon, tha...
Ah sorry I misunderstood what you meant.
Here's hoping the devs are reading these forums and make the necessary changes soon.
I also feel sorry for anyone who falls for the bait and switch, and pays money to whale up their Shades only for them to be nerfed sometime soon.
I have 2 options to remake the shade (I prefer option 2):
1) Add a bit more damage (so that pitbulls and bikes don't survive with 1 HP), but double the cost to 80 (or maybe even 90). This way the Shade turns into a better Orca (high burst and also stealth). This option is worse than option 2.
2) Reduce the damage to about half, but add 1 more second to the EMP effect. This way this unit will act more like a support unit (using its unique EMP effect, but not dealing that much damage as a tradeoff) instead of being completely overloaded. With this change the Shade can let off the EMP and then other units with higher DPS can move in and finish off the target.
