CI Type Blue Abilities Change

[Kisuke]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Change the Shockwave ability & the Health Aura ability from CI's Support Type Blue to the following:

-Shockwave ability now deals 50 damage (increased from 20) and has stronger knockback effectiveness.
-Health Aura energy cost gets reduced from 50 to 35 (Or somewhat lower)

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I do not believe so.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Encourages more ability usage (These two abilities are almost never used)
- Should require minimal dev work

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Buff towards Type Blue which people opposing CI may not want.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Currently, Shockwave and Health Aura are rarely used in serious combat scenarios due to low effectiveness and/or high energy cost. These changes would make them viable options while keeping Shockwave primarily a crowd-control ability rather than a killing tool. and making sure Health Aura is a supportive ability remains an effective supportive ability for allies. This would improve gameplay variety and ensure all Support Type Blue abilities are useful instead of players relying on only a few.

-/+ support. The new tb is ment to be fully supportive. Buffing the damaging abilitys is just reverting him back to his pre rework state.

-support on the shockwave

+ support on Health aura. As thats a good buff for the intended purpose of TB now

Yk ever since the update all the abilities have found their place.
Except these 2. I cannot remember the last time these were used.
+support for health aura
neutral for shockwave tho, it needs a change sure but I feel like it needs a different direction rather than straight damage

play ci sometime 50 damage with a shockwave ability is still nothing and not worth using over a gun

 

[Landon]

+for the aura change because it’s very expensive and never really utilized

+\- for the shockwave change
I think it should stun or flash those it hits maybe

+Support

+Blue

 

["BloodShed"]

+Support for the healing aura, would contribute more to the support role

-Support for Shockwave

 

[Tenebraeum]

+ SUPPORT for Aura.

For Shockwave -/+ Support. I think it'd have to cost more energy or damage when you hit another object, similar to Domina from Overwatch's push ability minus the stun.
