remember this comes with a 7-8Ton & 7-8Crit Cost, its not Free,

Uhm so my cMPLs would have a burn time of about .5 seconds? CERLL would burn for about .75?

I mean I would love it but look at the results, they would likely have to increase burn rates just to compensate the potential.

You'd still have to pay for that with a TC8 but 35% would still be pretty much OP territory imo

Which I pretty happily would, and which every laser boat in his right mind definitely would.

It would work to increase the overall weight value of laser vomit by forcing people to use TC to get good burn times, which could be a good/great thing for the game in suppressing some of the stronger, lighter laser vomit boats from dominating that arena, so I am definitely not saying I hate the idea, just presenting the results at that rate, which would be huge.

Like, would everyone who supports the idea also not mind baser laser burn durations increasing by 15-20% to compensate?

Personally I wouldn't mind that massively, but I feel like it would make some people spit their chips.

It would probably be badly balanced especially when TCs are probably getting nerfed and thus removed from many builds as it stands. Anyway we've had 0.6sec lpl burn metas in the past so we can gage how it would probably work out base on that. **** was whack imo.

I mean, the isLPL burn is still only 0.67 seconds. I'm more concerned about 0.85 second ER LL burn metas. That's even more whack.

If we're gonna bump the TC for lasers can we fix it for LBX's first. Most forumites slate the LBX's as "inaccurate" and "poor for crits", applying the TC to LBX's will tackle this issue head-on (at the cost of tonnage).

HMN-PRIME don't hate, fear...

I know what sounds like a good idea, less than .3sec duration LPLs.

Why only settle for hitscan, lets get some pinpoint alpha along with the hitscan.



(this is a very, very bad idea)
