Declined Give Isida its self-heal

[Total_SkiIl 1,983]

Let me put this straight, Isida with its current parameters is a GOOD FOR NOTHING turret.

 

Rarely I see anyone using it in non-pro battles, as even its healing capabilities are not worth it.

 

My suggestion is to give Isida back its post-2016 re-balance self heal.

 

I am not asking to revert any updates, just add this one parameter which can make Isida worthwhile once again.

 

The self heal after that update was way too weak to make any major difference as it did before, but yet will add a few seconds of life to an Isida user, and battle-worthiness for Isida.

 

Its damage can be lowered to compensate for the self-heal ability.

 

Leave your thoughts below.

Declined.

 

Isida's self-healing was removed for a reason because the Turret was really powerful especially with supplies therefore, the developers wanted to make a bigger distinction between Isida’s roles of “fighter” and “medic”. For this reason, they have completely removed self-healing. So, after the update they released, Isida was no longer able to use “vampirism”, which was supposed to fix the issue with exaggerated self-healing using supplies.

 

To compensate for the removal of the self-healing mechanic, the update that came after that greatly increased Isida’s damage, giving it the highest DPM among the other close-combat weapons Freeze and Firebird. And to make targeting easier, they also narrowed its attack cone slightly and made changes in Isida’s Alterations.

I clearly wrote that the post-2016 re-balance self-heal was just too weak to make a difference in real world terms, yet Isida was still worthy back then even with that minute self-heal.

 

If Isida on supplies with self-heal is such an issue, I wrote that the damage can be lowered to compensate for this. How hard would it be just to lower a few parameters and give that minute amount of self-heal which can turn Isida into a useful turret for real battles?

 

Oh the irony, Isida is comparable to Freeze and Firebird? I suggest you to personally play the game whenever you get time with those turrets.

Isida can beat or Freezes and tie with Firebirds, but its not an attack turret, its made for support. For a healer, its damage is absurd. I think it is balanced or even OP.

I don't know, I see plenty of Isidas in battles nowadays. People still use it as much as they use Firebird, Freeze and other turrets. They even use it in DM, despite not having self-heal. So in terms of balance it really doesn't feel like Isida needs any improvement. It's pretty balanced as is.

They need to rename the Vampire kit since it no longer has the ability of vampirism.

Isida still kind of looks like its latching on to you and sucking your HP though, particularly because of the stretch effect

But didn't isida with 50% self healing and double damage fully restore its health before the rebalance update of October 2016? :huh:

[GorgoBlesk 831]

Isida needs 10 seconds of damage instead of current 5...

Is it that hard to know that post-2016 means after that re-balance?

I know exactly what it means, but I'm talking about before the update.

I am asking to return the after self-heal, not the one before it.

 

I know it was truly overpowered, as much as Magnum is now.

PLZ revive the vampire. Make an alteration for self healing!

It would become too OP, it just needs bigger energy pool because it constantly runs out of energy.
