Rebalances crusher abilities
About The Pull Request
- Stomp cooldown adjusted from 20 seconds -> 16 seconds
- Crest toss cooldown adjusted from 12 seconds -> 14 seconds
- Crest toss distance 6->5
- Slightly increases crest toss's distance-based damage modifier to compensate for reduced distance
- Crest toss distance is now calculated from the target's position rather than the user
- Crest toss now causes enemy mobs to impact walls for 1x slash damage and a .8 second knockdown
Why It's Good For The Game
With changes to diagonal blocking and crusher's sunder modifier, crusher's fishing game has become very powerful and low-risk. Additionally, the low cooldown of crest toss combined with rapid advance enables some pretty degenerate displacement of downed bodies. This is a very non-interactive and boring way to make marines perma when they were knocked unconscious in relatively safe positions.
At the same time, crusher players complain about a high TTK, largely because the caste is dependent on landing a charge in order to follow up with a direct hit stomp. This change lets crusher set up direct stomps in terrain that is not conducive to charging, or when charge is missed.
By shifting the the toss's point of origin from the crusher to it's target, we favor harm-intent tosses more for fishing and reward crusher for getting behind enemies.
Taken together, these changes should shift crusher's identity away from pure fishing cheese and more towards a tank/bruiser with interesting position-based combos.
