Please Nerf Spell Disaster..

This isn't fun Popcap. It's not the damage that bothers me, its the fact that you can't get away from it once it locks on to you. As a night cap player, you guys decided Fung Fu was too strong, it got nerfed. Spell Disaster if Fung Fu 2.0 but worse. It's not lag. The ability follows through walls around corners and under platforms.. you name it. You can't outrun it, I've tried multiple times. I even get tagged on the outer ring of Spell disaster. I'm going to try to put together a video to show what I'm talking about because this is a little ridiculous. There are a lot of abilities that can 1 shot night cap, but they are skill shots. Spell disaster takes NO skill. Simply push a button and "I win" No support character should be able to just run in the middle of a plants team, push 1 button and take out 4-5 players. and that's just ONE wizard, now imagine a team with 6 wizards, ya.. sounds like fun right? no.. it's not. 

I'm almost at the point where I want to take another long break from this game because it's more frustrating than fun to play.

    @Shinobicap I wanted to show you Night Cap can survive in a way I don't know how you use Night Cap I only know how I use Night Cap but if a Wizard is using Spell Disaster without you using your Fung Fu you can do that and with your build you can use Fleet Footed to get out of there but I hope I helped you sometime in the future with a Wizard. A Tip I use: Never Fung Fu anyone that can vanquish you easily

    @Shinobicap I hope it does solve your problem with Spell Disaster just remember don't run and hide if you are far away from cover because you kinda waste time to try and stop the unavoidable (from your current area) 80 damage when you could try to vanquish the Wizard so it is a trade or be the Night Cap that uses Clear Coating to hide and be sneaky and then ambush the Wizard before he gets Spell Disaster back (nearly all Night Caps don't use Clear Coating so the Wizard will be distracted and confused so you can ambush him at that time) have fun with all this knowledge it might make you laugh also have a good day!

    @shurikeninja and @Shinobicap Just deal damage from range, don't just run toward them and use Fung Fu the second you see a Wizard. To get better at BfN, you're going to have to use your head more often and not use Fung Fu around Wizards.

    @shurikeninjaand @Shinobicap I did test if Nightcap gains damage resistant while using Fung Fu and I was right; it does give you the 50% damage resistance. Just saying, but you're over exaggerating about how Wizards one-shot you with Spell Disaster while using Fung Fu. 2 Wizards must've used the ability at the same time and vanquished you.

    @Joseph2004045yes I admitted I was wrong about fung fu mitigating damage. No need to stroke your ego.

    Btw, to say that myself and shurikeninja don’t use our heads when we play is a very condescending statement.

    Definitely NOT over exaggerating over the number of times I’ve been one shot by this spell. As the scenario rarely presents itself like Cameron showed in his video. How often do you run into a 1 v 1 fight in this game without being interrupted by other players?

    Regardless, I feel they will eventually tone down spell disaster. We can go back and forth on the forums for days but popcap has the final say.

  • @Shinobicap  The reason it’s not a bother to me (Spell Disaster) is that it’s harder to land in BA than other places because of the mulit-level map with many corners.  9/10, I’ll have a group of people surrounding me and inflict 0 damage, hit a wall, ceiling, or floor.  

    @Ninja2Blade  It doesn’t travel through walls. 😊👍

    @Joseph2004045 I haven't really been in that situation from memory. Also it's not nice to say that we don't use our heads when going up against wizards.

    @shurikeninja  These guys are saying that you CAN survive it as you take reduced damage while in fung fu and you can take the talent clear coat. I stand corrected, they are right. HOWEVER, very rarely are we in a situation like that as night cap players that we can take advantage of. How often are you at full health once you leave the gate. And usually have about 3-4 firing from all angles during most fights. And when you're JUST about to get that vanquish, some pirate snipes you. The point is, it's very difficult to stay at 75 health all the time and therefore surviving with 11hp is very unlikely. We are very rarely able to counter a wizard because of what's going on in the background.  I've switched up my play style a little bit and am trying to stay more at ranged and away from danger. But the danger always comes to me. Some players spend minutes following me around just to kill me, staying at ranged doesn't always work. if you pop stealth with clear coat you can survive a spell disaster with 11 health, again that's a very rare situation where you come out on top. I still really think it needs to be toned down a bit.
