Should Molotov size be reduced? Yes or no?
Almost everything should be changed. The capacity, the damage, the duration and range lol.
6 molotovs are way too much (should be max 3 imo) and it lasts forever, and you can just throw the next one immediately after to just keep people from rushing you.
If you just touch it for half a sec half your ap disappears like that. You can't in small areas jump over it either cuz it has some height to it so it still burns you if you try jumping over it.
Definitely should be reduced imo. Just think about it - when 5 molotovs are thrown one by one all over the place, you can barely escape and avoid being damaged. Also, it becomes a whole mess in A&D and TDM rooms, and I won’t even talk about the Turbo rooms, lol.
We did change the damage and duration in the update yesterday. You still think it deals too much damage and lasts too long?Quote:

Had not noticed the dmg reduction so just tried it out, I think its fine now. It still lasts a bit too long tho imo, it just becomes a waiting game if everyone blocks a path with molotovs like in garden or mansion for example. And it's annoying how you can't like go over it unless you're very high up. The height of where the dmg starts should be lowered so you have a bigger chance of jumping over it or use walls to get over it without getting burned cuz now it just forces the enemy to either wait it out or take a detour. Kinda ruins the fast pace. I think that if you make it easier to get over it then the range of it doesn't matter as much.Quote:

As such, a balanced point should be established but this is too early to say because people are just now developing strategies against dealing with this item. Setting it to a value that makes sense as well as a decent fall-off gradient and waiting a while is probably the best choice balance wise to know what the community thinks. Especially since any change in this community is usually rejected (historically speaking).Quote:

-> -60hp/ap
i tested mollys in tdm and cw and got 2-6 ticks per round (Highly dependent on map)
-> 1 tick = 40 dmg after the nerf so thats 80-240 dmg
Well placed mollys in the generic potshot locations create alot of confusion and time waste on the opponent side. Good players can easily capitalize on this and rush the enemy.
In my thoughts molly's are indeed still stronk, but if further nerfs are done i would like it to fit the generic weight setup..
Well yeh, i do aggree that molotovs should be reduced to
3 or 4 on max level and accordingly, 6 is way too much cuz, people keep throwing one after another too much and produce air pollution.. , I'd love it to explode directly (rightclick to explode when it hit wall , left click to bounce and explode) and keep the same radius, increasing damage and reducing it to 3/3 will be cool. Since molotovs are in game. I use em all the time haha..
no but i need eye drops every 30minsQuote:
