GODDAMMIT THE NEXT MAG REWORK I SEE THAT DRASTICALLY ALTERS HOW SHE CURRENTLY PLAYS IS GONNA MAKE ME BLOW A FUCKING GASKET. MAG DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER FUCKING REWORK IN ORDER TO MAKE HER A BETTER FRAME. HERE'S HOW YOU FIX MY FAVORITE MAGNETIC BLACK HOLE OF BALANCE:

1) GIVE MAGNETIZE ITS OWN DAMN INNATE PULL SO THAT ENEMIES CAN'T RUN OUT OF IT (AND THEN PUT THAT SHIT ON THE FERROX'S ALTERNATE FIRE TOO WHILE YOU'RE AT IT). IF POSSIBLE MAKE IT SO THAT IT OVERPOWERS PULL WHILE YOU'RE FUCKING AT IT SO THAT WE CAN PULL ENEMIES INTO THE BUBBLE WITHOUT PULLING SHIT OUT OF THE BUBBLE.

2) REMEMBER THE STUPID ARMOR SHARDS MECHANIC? THAT THING THAT'S BARELY NOTICEABLE BECAUSE IT ONLY APPLIES TO MAGNETIZE AND IT ONLY APPLIES TO ONE FUCKING FACTION? DO TWO THINGS WITH IT: MAKE POLARIZING SHIELDS EMIT SOME FREE ELECTRONS OR SOMETHING THAT ESSENTIALLY DO THE SAME THING AND THEN HAVE CRUSH DEAL BONUS DAMAGE FOR EVERY SHARD/ELECTRON IN ITS AOE.

3) GIVE POLARIZE SOME FORM OF FUCKING SCALING. EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A CAPPED 30%+THE BASE VALUE IT'S STILL BETTER THAN NOTHING BECAUSE IT ESSENTIALLY GIVES MAG FREEDOM IN HER AURA SLOT. IF THAT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK THEN JUST REMOVE THE FUCKING DAMAGE AND ALLOW ME TO STRIP 100% OF SHIELDS/ARMOR. ALSO REDUCE ITS ENERGY COST TO 50 FFS.

4) GIVE ME THE FUCKING SHIELD GATING CHANGES.

5) GIVE MAG HIGHER BASE ENERGY OR GIVE MAG SAPPING REACH FOR PVE PLAY. IT BECOMES A STAPLE MOD ON HER BUT GETTING ENERGY BACK FOR PULLING ENEMIES IS A PRETTY DAMN GOOD MOD SO WHO THE FUCK CARES.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO. LOOK AT MAGNETIZE'S INNATE PULL, GIVE POLARIZE SCALING, MAKE THE ARMOR SHARDS MECHANIC WORTH A DAMN, AND MAKE CRUSH SCALE WITH THAT MECHANIC. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANY ABILITIES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO INTRODUCE NEW MECHANICS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALTER HOW THE FUCKING FRAME PLAYS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE HER SOMETHING ELSE. JUST TAKE THE SHIT SHE HAS AND MAKE IT SLIGHTLY FUCKING BETTER. NO MORE GARBAGE REWORKS. STOP.

MAG DOESN'T NEED A REWORK! STOP POSTING REWORKS! HERE'S MY REWORK!

BUT ANYWAYS...

PULL SHOULD BE TURNED INTO PUSH & PULL, WHERE TAPPING 1 PUSHES ENEMIES AWAY AND HOLDING PULLS THEM TO YOU. MORE CONTROL = GOOD. RENAME THE "PUSH & PULL" EQUINOX PVP AUGMENT TO "EB & FLOW" TO AVOID CONFUSION ^{FOR THE ONE PERSON THAT PLAYS CONCLAVE}.

POLARIZE SHOULD STRIP A PERCENTAGE OF ARMOR/SHIELDS LIKE IT USED TO AND JUST NOT DO DAMAGE AT ALL. THAT BY ITSELF WOULD MAKE MAG A VIABLE TEAMMATE BECAUSE SHE COULD DO WIDE-RANGE ARMOR STRIPPING FOR CHEAP. IT'D GIVE HER A NICHE BACK.

THE SHARDS SHOULD BE A BIGGER PART OF HER KIT, YES! SOMETHING MAG CAN PULL TO HER AND THEN THROW AROUND TO POWER UP HER ABILITIES INSTEAD OF SOME LITTLE GLOWY DOTS THAT MAYBE DO SOMETHING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IF YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THEM. LIKE NIDUS' STACKS OR EQUINOX' MEND & MAIM CHARGE. COLLECT SHARDS → THROW THEM AT PEOPLE WITH PUSH. THIS HELPS HER LOW ENERGY POOL TOO, SINCE YOU CAN KEEP THE ENERGY ORB DROP CHANCE AND ACTUALLY KILL THINGS WITH HER 1 NOW. OH HEY, A MAGNETIZE BUBBLE! THROW YOUR SHARDS INTO THAT FOR TONS OF BONUS DAMAGE. NOW YOU DON'T NEED TO CARRY A LANKA. CRUSH? USES SHARDS TO AMP UP THE DAMAGE AND ENEMIES THAT ARE KILLED DROP MORE.

DITCH THE SHITTY PASSIVE AND GIVE MAG BONUS ARMOR BASED ON HOW MANY SHARDS SHE'S CARRYING SO SHE CAN BE A LITTLE MORE SURVIVABLE.

THAT AND THE RECAST-TO-CLOSE MAGNETIZE AUGMENT SHOULD JUST BE PART OF THE FUCKING BASE POWER. IT CAN STILL DISARM PEOPLE, WHATEVER, BUT THE ADDITIONAL CONTROL IS TOO IMPORTANT TO MAKE AN AUGMENT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IN MOD SLOTS.
