Lobster nerf when?

I don't think we've had a unit be so broken before.

lobster is hilarious, but ultimately very niche in terms of use. current lobster fad will pass once people learn it dosent actually make cost 99% of the time

it's moreso the units used with it than the lobster tbh. scallops needed a nerf for a long time because of what would of been a efficient counter gets laughed at when combined with lobsters, meaning, if both units were in close proxy one severely outdoes the other.

an example: a single siren VS 2 scallops+a single lobster, at equal cost, scallops would outdo them quite easily with their weakness of range being circumvented through lobsters. the 3 second reload and the laughable direct damage the siren does, although AoE and push-able when used in water, the scallops have probably fragged the thing before it can fire again, and even if it did, it wouldn't be enough!

quote: But if you buff siren then it will become OP like when it was introduced.

i saw a proposed change on a test version that wasn't too crazy, but it definitely seemed like a solid idea to start with:



using the same situational model in my previous post, this would knock down their DPS by about 60 damage and gives it a theoretical time-to-kill of a little under 8 seconds. along with the range adjustments, this means a little micro can get a third direct shot in, which is more than enough to bag at least one of them if one of the missiles connect, and the other scallop would be severely wounded along with the lobster at probably less than 20% if not less.
