I think that it is better to make difference between Garlic Drone and Parrot.
Now, Garlic Drone and Parrot are almost same.
For example, Garlic Drone's attack ability needs no initial cool time anymore.
Or, one's primary shot needs manual reload, and the other's is still auto reload.
Or, one's Health becomes 10, and the other's becomes 1.
Or, one can't rapid fire, like Pea or Wizard.
And so on.
I realistically think, that the drones shouldnt be damage tools.
For me as a pc player, its pretty useless to use the drones.
Why would I want to take 30s to fly out my parrot to maybe get 2 kills.
Meanwhile I could just normaly snipe and get atleast 2 kills and probably even more.
Using drones is uselesss for good players as you can easily snipe and get more value from that.
I think that drones should rather be supportive abilities, like in r6.
This fixes the issue that some players have with drones being "Too strong" for them.
And allows sniper mains to use them to support and not loose any efficiency.
(Support abilities, like reveal as a base, or slow or something along those lines)
Also db shotgun doesnt need a buff, as a low close range dmg is literally, what a sniper is supposed to do.
On the barrel part I got a different oppinion though.
Yes barrel with upgrades is fine, but not only can it still be killed by good players it is also easy to get killed by most ppl if
you dont run any upgrades for it.
A ability shouldnt be bad/worthless if you dont use a upgrade.
Although I dont know if barrel should really exist like it currently does, since it doesnt fit the sniper playstyle very much.
