In its current state you have nothing to lose or nothing even really to think about when placing down a power other than where to put it down and the event that you might miss. Say if your army is facing off against another army and they start glassing you, you might have to just cut your loses and push straight into their army so the other person has to stop glassing in fear of hitting their own army or making a 600 iq play as shipmaster by displacing an atriox player's army into their own eradication, stuff like that, cool new ways to approach a conflict and use some powers to make other players powers be used against themselves.
Maybe if Serina's slow freezing it wouldn't effect allies, but if it was an instant freeze like her cryo bomb it would freeze allies and i could see voridus's goo being an exception to the friendly fire rule because that would be terrible.MrXboxturnoff wrote:It sure would add another layer to the game.

Fair point, did not consider that really in my post. I take back what I said earlier, but what of those who would just use the friendly fire leader powers to just punish their own team mates?Xiphactinus9665 wrote:I've been thinking about this exact thing, I feel like this would be a good addition because it would add a level of depth and strategy to the game that i feel like it needs.

I support this, it was fun messing around with powers in 1, but I didn't really feel it that much, cuz I played Arby, back then. It's return would be nice, as every leader has an offensive power, and it could be an indirect Nerf to GB, as you can no longer throw it out with no worries, satisfying those wanting it to be nerfed to some degree. (Also, I play Ship, and the possibility of using my opponents powers against them excites me.) But I would add being able to use your buff powers on teammates as well, to further enforce teamwork. Imagine chilling at your base, unknowing of anything around you, and you get enemy Vultures teleported to your base to punish you for ignorance.Xiphactinus9665 wrote:I've been thinking about this exact thing, I feel like this would be a good addition because it would add a level of depth and strategy to the game that i feel like it needs.

They could simply read the patch notes, that'll tell them. As for what they'll do with it, that depends on themiMEC7 wrote:If every player understood the concept it would be fine to bring it back, but as I often am paired up with lower rank newbies in Team Matchmaking, I like that it is NO LONGER around.

Fair enough...and I think your point is very valid. I thought it might address the "Air is OP" narrative though.

I wiah i could build anywhere. Imagin winning a game and surrounding their base with buildings to prevent them from leaving and turrets at every exit! I feel leader power are in general too good with some heroea performing too good as well.The Little L wrote:Well exceptions should be made for certain leader powers no doubt but it feels cheap at times to spam powers and be unaffected by things that should hurt you as well. I know that implementing it now wouldn't work out so well with certain leaders they have added but it is something to consider. Leader powers offer game changing moments in this game and it is safe to say that most of the time after someone loses their first base its all over (not all the time). I just wish it involved more risk besides the only risk of missing the target. And another thing I kinda wish there were more bases available to build on perhaps not on every map but on some (i know they offer like 1 extra for one player at times but HW1 2v2 could have 4 in mid and 1 next to them as an example) and more unique maps.
Building anywhere and setting up turrets may seem great and quite fun but a link put up in another thread went to a page where they discussed why building everywhere was an issue and i completely agree with it. Basically it came down to overall gameplay/functionality, player response, design problems, etc. They did at least try it in the first HW but because of what was mentioned above they didn't go through with it after much trial and error. Note I summarized the long list they gave if interested in link try looking under HW2 threads sorry for not remembering link.DHG strongdog wrote:I wiah i could build anywhere.

In HW1 this from my experience rarely happened and even if it did there are other ways of trolling your team in HW1 or HW2 with or without friendly fire. I don't want to mention specifically to give out ideas though.It5276 wrote:I think trollers would take advantage if this if they arent happy with there teammates and just wreckem.
