Declined Magnetic Dictator Overdrive

[RIDDLER_8 5,558]

I have another suggestion which is similar to the magnet overdrives which I spoke about before. This time, I only suggest the "Magnetic Dictator Overdrive" be available excusively to Dictator. The Magnetic Dictator Overdrive will do two things. The first one is to magnetize gold boxes in the range of 5 meters. The second one is for the Dictator hull itself to become magnetic when activating the overdrive to magnetize enemies and dead damage to them at the same time. When activating the overdrive next to nearby allies, Dictator will pass on its magnetic overdrive to all nearby team mates, including the ones using a different hull. For example, if use a Wasp and a Dictator on your team activates the magnetic overdrive next to you, then your hull will become magnetic as well during the time that the overdrive is active.

 

My suggestion here will not add a visible magnet to all hulls like I did in previous posts, but to only make Dictator itself magnetic when activating the overdrive. The Magnetic Dictator Overdrive must be added as an additional effect to the current existing overdrive, so that Dictator can become even more unique and special.

 

By add the "Magnetic Dictator Overdrive", will not cause battles or gameplay to be overpowered. Dictator shall keep its current speed and armor as is. No change. Just make the Dictator hull itself magnetic. That makes proper sense because a tank's hull is made of metal, so it is perfectly normal for metal to become magnetized when an overdrive is activated.

 

My suggestion on the Magnetic Dictator Overdrive is not to steal or abuse gold boxes, but to give a different effect to Dictator. Dictator is a hull which can become the most special hull due to implementing this cool overdrive. Please add this overdrive to Dictator.

 

Please do not merge this topic with any of my other topics. This topic must remain alone.

 

Please Maf and other admins, do not decline this topic. Read well and think hard before putting this topic as under review.

 

Thank you.

Declined.

 

This exclusive Dictator overdrive isn't what the game needs. If this hull receives a special overdrive unique to it, it would mean having to introduce more unique overdrives(along with the ones that are currently planned) for each hull, or risk making Dictator too overpowered. Subsequently, this feature will also ruin game balancing and would give rise to a new class of gold diggers who specifically only use dictator for the gold boxes, and end up catching it nearly every single time. It would drastically shift non-Dictator users to shift to it because of the overdrives, and we'd completely lose game balance and the possibility of having people play with other hulls.

Did you think your idea through before you posted it? I assume that in your mind you imagine yourself being all clever and picking Dictator when everyone else uses other hulls, and when the gold box drops you activate your overdrive and easily magnetise the box towards you, with a smug grin on your face?

 

Well, in reality battles will just be full of Dictators, and everyone will be using the magnet overdrive when the gold drops, so it will turn into a competition of whose magnet attracts the gold box first. And I see little difference between this, and what we already have, i.e. being first to touch the gold box. Not to mention that it will completely destroy any other hulls' chances for getting a gold, which is unfair to them.

What we really need here is riddler himself to have a special overdrive  that attracts golds like a magnet.

Ah, a classic Riddler_8 idea

[RIDDLER_8 5,558]

Dictator players playing in pro battles without gold boxes dropping would not disturb game balance at all. I bet that developers could make this magnetic Dictator overdrive work somehow, by doing lots of planning and running many tests in the test server before releasing this update. I believe that this update is possible for matchmaking battles if planned correctly.

What's the point though? The current all-supply overdrive is powerful enough.

Hmm. Cut the gold boxes and that's actually a pretty good idea. It'd essentially stun and gather the poor helpless tanks the Dictator targets, leaving them vulnerable to Thunder, Magnum, Hyperspace Rail, as well as Wasp, Viking and Mammoth ODs (and potentially hunter) for a short time. Very dangerous if properly used... too dangerous, although with balancing could be good. Still, the current Dictator OD is good as it is.

Yes, of course, I could cut gold boxes and have this idea to only magnetize enemy hulls dealing damage to them as they magnetize themselves against Dictator.
