    @BrentEllison
    Warphunter shot visual?
    So what about this?

    While you are charging the weapon the area under the cross hair will start to swirl with purple clouds. As it charges the swirl gets larger and more opaque and add green lighting.

    As it fires, there is no projectile leaving the weapon, just the target area explodes violently and the swirl dissipates.

    Lore friendly and the actual weapon does not have to "aim up" to match a projectile trajectory.

    You could just key-bind Heavy Attack to a specific button, though I am not certain the Heavy Attack animation can be done while sprinting :/

    There is no separate key for heavy attack.

    The problem is, there is a window after sprint cancellation or roll ending after which you will do sprint or roll attack directly after you press the button even if you would like to go heavy instead. This means that you will have to wait ~0.5+s after animation ending to do that which is A LOT during melee.

    Having a separate key for heavy which would make possible to use charged attack directly after roll or sprint animation ends would be great. That's what i'd love to bind since introduction of key bindings :)

    But the predator's gun is easy to keep on the falcon so this doesn't work even outside of cramped spaces =(

    Also Brent, I feel like jump assaults are really putting a wet blanket on the game, they just move way to fast and being able to instantly be behind someone who is defensive bashing feels unfair. I'm fine with them getting more health to help but they need to be slower in all their jet movements so you can actually aim and hit them. Right now our short ranged stuff can't do anything about jump assaults because by the time your reasonably accurate they can instantly be on you.

    I can definitely say it's making me not want to play anymore. It's just plain unfair.

    Sorry, I was certain there were an individual key for Heavy Attack, as there are one for dBash.

    I agree that the Predator turret traverse is to fast for that argument of Brent.
    On the other side a shootout while I'm in the Predator lasts so long that it feels like I'm fighting another predator. It feels strange and not like stuff is working.

    or more simply: control are unresponsive and is hard to perform the correct action.

    something similar happen when you try to dodge next to a railing and instead of dodge we vault and fall over the railing.

    THIS. Just played a game where I was trying to ascend to a platform as a raptor. Jump at the thing, instead, hit the wall, have to wall jump, fall, accidentally climb over an obstacle because I was still holding in space, climb back over the obstacle, jump up. >:c

    Additionally, the cover system atm needs some.. err.. attention. The angle at which you can fire is a bit of trial and error, but also, it's difficult to actually get into and stay in cover, and the cover actually does fairly little.

    Giving MoN to the whole faction is the most stupid idea you guys ever made here. Its fucking unbelievable how cheese chaos is now. I just glad that some of chaos veterans do not use MoN at all. Otherwise there woudnt be any SM or Eldar victory on the field per month.

    Sad thing that most people are still using it massively. Just had a fight on Maggon - Im feel really bad because I havent took a screenshot - there were MoN 4 sorcs standing side by side in the outer balcony and streaming poison beams all around.

    This is the scoreboard: 1 TRAITOR?!, 8 MoN socrs, several MoN jumps and autocannons. Traitor assault for some delight. Can you please explain how we should enjoy the battles against such brawl? I see that as an insult to the whole community, because you guys pretend its all good here and nothing happened. Only a slight buff here and there..When 1 shot usually decides who lives and who dies.

    I think Eldar havent won any victory on offence against chaos at all. If both teams had full numbers.

    Treebeard would say just this: "@MichaelChan, @BrentEllison, @Oveur should know better.."

    I don't see any crazy scores on the chaos side, besides LSM probably didn't use tactics :D
