Partially Accepted 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

-/+ 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

 

[Niox]

+Support

 

[Emilia Foddg]

+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.

Suggestion Partially Approved​

Hi @Kisuke ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to partially accept your suggestion for the following reasons.

We've always said that we'd be looking over and tweaking stuff with TB, and the first round of changes just came out today, both of which somewhat cover your points here. So TB Health Aura was buffed, and shockwave knockback was increased.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as partially accepted.​
