<div class="IPBDescription">was that really necissary</div>It's not fun, the blinding was already a cool quirk for spit. Now you get almost rooted if you get hit with a spit on Alien creep.



Snare mechanics in FPS....they do not mix :(

    Hmm, this was already the case before 199, albeit to a lesser extent (you'd have to be hit several times to get a noticeable snare effect, since Spit applies stacking slow effect.)

    Infestation slows you by 10%, so naturally you'd feel slow if hit by Spit while on infestation :P

    It's funny because the gorge already has lots of mechanics, and a snare effect would suit the lerk a lot more (since it's an offensive combat support class, whereas the gorge is more defensive). Snaring in FPS games can be annoying, but it can also be just fine if done well. I don't see anybody complaining about how the flamethrower effectively "snares" fades..

    Imagine a world where the gorge still uses bile bomb and the lerk gets to trigger an enormous snare effect somehow. Hmmmmm...

    honestly not a terrible idea (if there was some intuitive way to put it in this game)

    I wasn't being too serious, it was just a humorous thought to me. Would be interesting though. Doubt it'll ever happen.

    <u><b>This video is a video</b></u> about the Lerk versus an E.X.O. :D

    To be honest, from reading about it (I haven't played NS2 recently because of the FPS issuse) this mechanism seems more useful for the gorge because it looks like more a defensive thing than offensive. For example, if a marine was trying to chop up your Orange Tomato plants you snare him/slow him getting more DPS off at that time hopefully killing <i>him</i> without him killing your plant.

    If it was on the Lerk what would be so useful about it? Lerk is a fast range class so it doesn't need to slow an enemy in order to catch up. However, the gorge <i>is</i> so he would need something to slow them down in order to kill them (Or he could slide into them and knock them over like the Onos does because that would be funny :D).

    I think its possibly conflicting with the friction changes, but hey, I'm no dev so I can't actually clerify why spit is so restricting now... in any case I hope its reworked next patch

    Don't worry guys, this is a bug.
    It will hopefully be resolved in the next patch.
    I've only really played gorge in this patch, a team of gorges is worth more than a team of shotguns, LOL.
    On the note of gorges, heal should be slowed down a bit, it kills marines too fast.
    Two gorges with swarm are extremely deadly.
