Still not sure, just giving a heads up and would like others to consider this while we keep playing. The reason teams were needing 2 or 3 EMPs was to keep the other team's miranda from doing everything it wants.

I agree with this concern; this is the thing I think most people are not understanding about the metagame. EMP was incredibly overpowered in all matchups except vs randa. It was absolutely necessary to be overpowered to handle randas.

Postpatch, I havn't gotten many games in versus decent randas, so I'm still undecided to how the new "balance" is working.
I have no complaints so far.

Didn't randa lose ball carry speed?

I know I'm finding them a lot easier to stick on.

Yes it did, it's very noticeable for me.

The buff makes it impossible to circle and emp turrets every turn, making some maps near impossible, and everything else much harder. I understand the nerf COMPLETELY in ball, tbd, and even 1dm, it's a little too high for my liking, but i can live with it. it's not ok in coop though.

I know coop's a very minor game mode, but i would appreciate this being fixed, maybe just a cooldown reduction on maps with a _coop tag?

Thanks lam!

Bumping this to ask whether this is possible or not? Co-op isnt a official game mode, but a lot of co-op players are asking for this (who arent registered to the forums). If not in general for _coop maps, maybe as a custom option for the server host?

It would really help!

I've tried emp on some coop maps, Just emp circle -> half turn other way > emp. It's very difficult but it is possible with more practice.

tbd ladder has been going on a lot lately!
any thoughts on planes with their new statz and how it plays in tbd?

Oya the nerf on explo isn't anything. Could make the mine Dmg do 0dmg but push people and I still probs wouldn't have noticed :3
