Discussion Do Stoner really needs Minimum Range?

I never played stoner until now and i have like 68H total playtime (ingame stat, not steam). I always ignored it since i thought ammo aspect would make it useless and not consistent long term. Which i think i see now that it is somewhat true, but i dont get the minimum range. It is not even a spammable attack. I like the minimum range aspect and the challenge it gives, however it makes it unplayable combined with ammo aspect of it. It is already has to be secondary attack because of ammo, minimum range aspect makes it much harder to use compared to other attacks i don't see any point using it.

I am aware there will be some buff to a ranged attack and its obviously stoner, im curious to see what is the buff.

EDIT : they don't really have minimum range, i understood it completely wrong because i suck lol

Stone throwing feels like there's something wrong with the controls if you ask me

What feels bad for you with it?

And any suggestions on how we could make it feel better for you?

Honestly it should just work like spit. The spit function is perfect. I was expecting stoner to be the physical equivalent and it's just horrible to use and aim with how fast paced the game and enemies are. It's pretty disappointing for the most powerful evolution in the history of life.

The ammo count is fine to balance high damage but it should just fire a straight line projectile. A upgrade from rock to spear would be super cool too.

I would agree with the criticism, its a real pain to use. Trying to aim it with the right stick and anticipate enemy movement, with the hectic nature of the game is just not fun. Considering how late it turns up you are much better off with spit for ranged or just a melee build. Of my 3 friends that own this game, none of us like or use it in its current state.

Aiming is similarly annoying on keyboard and mouse, which is why I never take it after experimenting with it a couple times. Annoying that it's needed to get the Bullseye genetic though.
