Firewalker teamkills really badly

sort
Firepluk 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) Can someone look into how we can fix firewalker? Right now it will teamkill anything and everything standing in it's way or flying nearby(stuff like athenas) Yesterday I was reclaiming a battlefield and 4 ally firewalkers happened to be nearby shooting an enemy, I went to q some shit at the factory and lost 2 athenas because allied firewalkers grilled me, when I switched back from factory both athenas were burning with almost no hp left. How can we fix this? Can we make them shoot higher or block shooting all together to avoid teamkill? Such blatant auto teamkill ain't cool... :( +1 / -0
SmokeDragon 3 years ago might be hard to solve this.. fire walker is area denial.. its aim is terrible.. if you make it good at aiming it might trash its balance +0 / -0
Legomenon 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) Given that units can auto-kite skirmishers better now, should they also decide to move outside of fire areas on their own? That may not be enough to solve the friendly firewalker problem, but would help with other cases of dumb units taking damage they could avoid (e.g. constructor sitting on lava). +3 / -0
Kapy 3 years ago Is this about the inaccuracy at long range(the wide spread) or that firewalkers shoot nearby friendlies in the back point-blank? And somehow managing to set themselves in fire too. Its really stupid and Im starting to sound like a broken record repeating itself on this. Wide spread is fine, p-b ff not. Lance and sniper got better brain, why not firewalker too? +1 / -0
Firepluk 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) My athenas were flying close to firewalkers it seems and firewalkers grilled them while taking some damage themselves, because heck, fire has aoe +0 / -0
floomby 3 years ago Also if the ground is hilly, but still bot pathable, firewalkers can just hit themselves. +2 / -0

Chesti 3 years ago nvm. Seems slowly pushes the punish-fee PENALTY: Belittling others with chat and markers. Do not "vent to your team" about how "terrible" someone is. See B990767 WHY NOT 10 years ago!????!!?? PENALTY: Belittling others with chat and markers. Do not "vent to your team" about how "terrible" someone is. See B990767 +0 / -2
Tarkin 3 years ago one would argue this is intended to prevent you from using firewalkers were friendly's are (area denial doesn't discriminate between friend and foe, it just denies the area to all). +1 / -0
GoogleFrog 3 years ago Firewalker probably can't be completely reliable while it fires both barrels at once. +1 / -0
