Onos

TheGivingTree

How about whenever an onos devours someone, it halves ( or lessens ) their movement speed? Only makes sense.. eating an entire person whole and all.

slowing down the speed definitely is a good idea... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

but slowing it by half...that wld make onos more prone to deaths

maybe slow it by a little instead of full speed will do

Onos are waaay to weak already, they are already absolutely useless without celerity.


Please stop suggesting more alien nerfs <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

They already slow down when they digest someone. You really want them to be that slow?

I don't know where you people get this idea of onos being weak.. It's either who's ever playing the onos are newbies or just alien biased. Also I have seen a single onos kill 3 HA with hmg's and I would never consider that "weak" ( stomp, devour, run and heal, repeat ) Considering how slow marines are a single onos can do this non stop and continue killing your entire team. Thats also without the help of any other aliens.

I never noticed a difference in speed.. if it is lowered then it needs to be even lower to where you can actually tell the difference. Half is to much but I was jsut trying to make a point.

But is enough for you to actually empty all those bullets you have in hand before it gets away, no?

Trust me, I have killed many Onos because they alwasy focus on devouring the first player, and it's generaly not right <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

+ Take someone out of the game
+ Restore health
- Slower movement
- Not able to devour another marine

So lets just say that devour is one of the double-edged weapons, unlike other weapons won't necessarily affect you negatively.
