What happened to uranium alteration?

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So I just tested the uranium alteration for striker and for some reason I feel like the rockets travel a lot slower now than when the alteration was first released. So what happened?

What is your reference? I looked around for some old Uranium gameplay to mimic what they did. Their missile took 2 seconds to reach to the target, and my missile took 2 seconds to reach the same spot just now. 

 

The only thing I can see that would make a difference is the minimum projectile speed of the Striker you're using but I doubt that would have a noticeable effect given how small the increase is from M2 to M4.

Before I could get a target more than 50 metres away without much problem at all, but now I can't even hit a wasp that's just 15 metres away. Heck even a dictator from 50 or 60 metres away could dodge it.

 

I think they secretly nerfed it sometime ago.

Maybe you've been out-of-sync with Uranium so it feels weird or downgraded after a long haitus?

Maybe, but I feel like something happened to it that we don't know.

its in the description or i thought it was,they deal greater damage at the cost of slower projectile speed. It's always been that way,it just take's some learning to master it,It's the only alt I use for striker.

No that's literally not what I asked.

Uranium was too strong when it was released, so the speed of the rockets was reduced further a few months after the alteration was released.

I'm quite sure it was announced in the forum by Cedric / Nives. There is probably a patch note somewhere, if you want to search for it.

These are all the patch notes that I could find that concerns Striker's alteration "Uranium": Patch Update #540 || Patch Update #547 || Patch Update #577 || Patch Update #579 || Patch Update #580, as you may see I couldn't find where (It's possible that I missed a topic blame the search bar if so)

Personally, I've been playing with that alteration for a little while (on Hornet & Booster) since I could just one shot most of the enemy team. Didn't notice any changes in the missiles' traveling speed (could be just me tho)

Thanks to that nerf, most people stopped using protections against striker and uranium had more impact than ever :')

Maybe uranium was never worth it because the slow rockets travel speed always came back to haunt the user.

That would explain why I stopped using it on my main account way before the nerfs even took place.

 

Anyway, when I went back to stock striker, it felt like a massive upgrade because I could hit the targets.
