Question about shot effects

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

Why don't smoky and thunder have any shot effects though? they are the only turrets which lack them- any idea why?

Also, is there any intention to create shot effects for ares' ball and crusader's icicles?

Thanks in advance .

Probably because the shot effect wouldn't be very noticeable.

I never heard of a plan to create shot effects ares' ball and crusader's icicles but it sounds like a cool idea

I mean,  the other explosion-based turrets (striker, magnum, and gauss) all have shot effects and you can see them just fine. My guess is that Smoky and Thunder are two very classic turrets, and the devs want to keep a more traditional look for their shots.

if you look at smoky it has almost no new updates to it . the last time was December 17, 2012.

in general its a turret that not many players use in battles.

if you ask the Dev's they might come up with new items in the future for it - if there was enough interested players .

Almost every sentence here is factually incorrect.

Sir if you look on the wiki web page you would see at the bottom of the smoky turret the last update was  // December 17, 2012, marked an important day in this turret's history. It was the day on which Smoky got its electrifying critical hit - a random shot that delivered a staggering amount of damage to the enemy.

for the battles I go into I seldom see players using smoky - these battles are MM regular and not pro battles// I'm basing it on my own battle experiences - using 3 legend accounts all different rank levels... and yea you can send in messages to the Dev's to look into updating the turret .  i'm fully aware that it's also up to them if they wanted to do it.

@Bydo Wait, so you genuinely believe that Smoky hasn’t been updated at all in over eight years?

I think Thunder black shot effect would be awesome
