10 years agoCactus Nerfs
I'm curious why the cacti keep seeing nerfs. I never see them in the top and they seem very difficult to play. As a zombie I feel like cacti are easy kills, as a plant I feel like cacti are way to ...
I'm really surprised cactus even got a nerf. Considering the general opinions about him was either him being fine or outright needing a buff.
A future cactus nerf is at least justifiable as he's one of the best,if not the best cactus variant. But all the other cactus nerf there just uncalled for. Highlight include jade cactus,which got yet another nerf despite that literally everyone said that he didn't even needed the nerf from part 1 at the first place as well as camo cactus which not only got absolutely destroyed by the nerf but also was frequently in the talk for a buff (he can not longer 2 shot 125 hp class with two headshot,which was pretty much vital for him to do well considering his slow fire rate and low ammo count).
At least power cactus got a buff. He did needed that.
Yeah, I really wish the developers would explain their reasoning behind a lot of the buffs/ners in a similar fashion to what League of Legends does. Sometimes when something gets nerfed I don't understand it until the devs say something that actually makes a lot of sense.
As long as they have statistics to back up these nerfs I'm ok with them. I just hope they are interpreting them correctly.
so what is inner blast radius anyway?

The radius in which you do the maximum amount of splash damage.
The cactus nerfs strike me as odd., especially the Jade Cactus as pointed out here. Cacti have always been about getting those headshots which requires good aiming and predicting enemy behavior. I don't have the data like they do but it does seem just odd they did this, especially to old cacti that should have been pretty well balanced from GW1.
Time will tell as the changes are datamined and the playerbase can test these changes, but I really didn't see a need for these changes.
