Re: Steam blaster STILL too powerful

@JoaoCandido2201 I, in part, agree. Steam blaster is too strong, but nerfing him further would only amplify the toxic play style of vanquishing and warping away.

In my opinion, a complete rework is necessary, to make him work like Thorn Apart. It would still mean he is powerful, but more as a support, which he is supposed to be.

I already made a post about my idea:

    Funny thing: I find Steam Blaster more busted than Brainium Basher 9001. I find that it can be fairly easy to dodge the Basher if you see it coming. But with the Steam Blaster, if they are targeting you, good luck getting away! With the Basher, start doing crazy loops and stuff around him and you should be fine.

    I also find that Steam Blaster players tend to be more toxic than BB 9001. I dunno why. 😕

    I get vanquished much less often with BB 9001 than with Steam Blaster, and I am much better with Steam Blaster than with BB 9001.

    But all up, both should be nerfed.

    @TheSprinter85 In my experience Steam Blaster is now easier to deal with, because you can get him to waste his warps. After that, he is like a cartoon shark with a stick in his mouth that prevents him from biting at you. Brainium Basher deals absurd amounts of damage even at the lowest tier. And I find SB players to be more toxic, because he has toxic victory gestures.

    @benn1nat0rOh yes - the good old Money Maker gesture? Another Prize Map reward. Coincidence? I think not!

    You’re right, if you can get the Scientist to use up all of the Warps, it is much easier to escape the Steam Blaster. But, if the BB misses constantly, which keeps happening to me, he is going to be vulnerable to other attacks for a bit and you may be able to escape eventually or get to your teammates.
