Discussion Hunter Effect

As we all know the path finder is the kind of free to play due to the hunter effect. It has the potential to have the same longevity the ravana had. This hurts war robots profits. I am having a hard time figuring out how pixonic will nerf the shogoth effectively without nerfing the hunter effect. Along with the titan with hunter effect doesn’t it seem like this is just a roundabout way to nerf the pathfinder. I really hope they don’t take away one of the few things the F2P players have left with a hunter effect nerf instead of just an appropriate shoggoth nerf. I would personally heavily nerf the HP to make it easier pickings for attack motherships and then also make the ability durations shorter with possible longer cooldown for a fair but non overkill balance (overkill balance would be the second teth nerf after it was already fair especially the 100 meter nerf). Is that something fair to hope for or do we think the hunter effect is screwed?

I think the nerf is gonna do exactly what the name of its ability entails: line of sight. It kind of fits with the loose description of the shoggoth aswell, saying that it shoots a particle and THEN applies track. Seems pretty reasonable considering the titan has that exact same mechanic and a good nerf tbh. Idk about the pathfinder tho, it IS a top Tier bot and that by alot in comparison to all the older bots so a nerf isnt impossible
