[Targeting]Lanaya's Meld

Green Yoshi · 11-03-2009, 04:49 AM

Currently landing a Meld-strike requires you to command an attack on the enemy you want to Meld-strike.

If you misclick, or try to Meld-strike someone just outside your range, the game harshly punishes you with a move-command or useless normal attack.

Suggestion:

Using Meld replaces the Meld icon with a secondary ability: Meld-strike. This is a targeted ability that has no mana cost, and has the same functionality as the current Meld (Deals base damage + 50/100/150/200 bonus physical damage + reduces 2/4/6/8 armor). Meld goes into cooldown as soon as you Meld, not from when you use Meld-strike. Has a cast range of Lanaya's current attack range.

If you click the ground with this ability, a "Must target a unit with this ability" error will be given.

If you attempt to Meld-strike a target out of range, a "Target is out of range" error will be given.

I believe this will remove the unnecessary false difficulty around this skill, and make it more user-friendly.

Note: This is merely adding an alternative function to make the skill more RELIABLE; the current ability to Meld-strike by attacking is retained for situations where you would take the risk to land a faster Meld-strike.

Programmers, let me know if this is not codable in which case mods can close this

I don't have any difficulty using Meld but since your suggestion is noob-friendly and sensible, sure why not?

I think this is a really good suggestion. Not only for noobs but also for laggy games too.

Sure, i've already seen at least 5 topics complaining about Lanaya Meld Waste, but your idea is the only one i think that could actually work. Huge T-UP.

iKrivetko · 11-03-2009, 08:42 PM

Nice one.

JohnnyMoe · 11-03-2009, 08:49 PM

This may strengthen her sit and wait use of meld, but in battles speed will be hindered by the required extra button.
Overall I see it as a nerf rather than a buff because of that.

ReaperMan · 11-04-2009, 09:34 AM

I beleive that the OP's suggestion is to add the extra 'Meld-Strike' button, but to also keep the ability to right-click to atack out of Meld. T-Up for Meld Strike, noob friendly and handy in the sit-and-wait usage of Meld.

NoThlnG · 11-04-2009, 12:47 PM

Really nice. Total support since I've felt this several times also

carpet muncher · 11-04-2009, 03:22 PM

Oh please, even kuroky failed his meld strike a few times.. If you dig through several replays. What makes you better than him? Ya maybe you can do a perfect meld strike but he can use any 80 hero to trash you.

T-up

Big T-up, this is really nice and solves a lot of problems, especially as there isn't an explicit visual for your range (which alters when you skill Psionic Blades).

willtsay · 11-05-2009, 03:45 AM

fshizzle, especially in those high delay games that make you face palm

Thanks for positive comments

About those saying it will be harder to use in fast-paced fights, the original functionality (Attacking for Meld-strike) will still be there. This is just a secondary, less risky option. I don't think it's a huge difference anyway.

Current: Hit D, rightclick
Suggested: Hit D, D, leftclick

One extra key :\

コクーン · 11-08-2009, 04:47 PM

I've experienced this many a time, so T-up.
