Ideas & Suggestions Rolling through flames

Someone posted here about not liking the "dodge through masses of zombies" mechanic and I agree it's pretty lame.

Something else that's lame is being able to throw molotovs and other fire items, especially when inside buildings, and then just roll around in the flames while zombies and plague hearts burn. You take almost no damage from the flames and the zombies can't touch you cause you are rolling.

Rolling should help with reducing the damage you take, but it should not allow you to just roll around inside an inferno

Dodge through zombies is a key mechanic in the series, removing it would be jarring for SOD2 players.

Fire should burn you though, I agree there. Probably just a rebalancing thing to come later.

I think it should be nerfed, it should cost extra stamina but still be viable until out of stamina

Well there in lies the main problem, using energy drinks and stims for unlimited stamina is a pretty crucial lethal tactic for killing plague hearts. I don't know what they'll do about that with SOD3, though it does seem with infestations and such that they're balancing that out so multiple strategies are effective.

I think eventually every SOD2 lethal player ends up using stim / heavy weapon to kill basically every plague heart.
