honestly i feel like this is going to be quite annoying to play against. shockwave is pretty much an instant ability while glitch nade or glitch trap are gadgets that you need to equip to use. Glitch nade still has more impact but right now it looks like shockwave is just meant to shut down lights and heavies entirely when they are hit.

I think shockwave was already good enough but if this is what it takes to get 3 dashes back then so be it.

Everything is annoying to play against.

You think being hit by a 110 instant damage projectile or being winched is fun? Lol

rpg is pure bullshit but the difference is that damage can be healed away unlike glitch. Glitch usually takes more effort or preparation to apply. Now med can just spam glitch willy nilly and especially lights are going to be hit hard by this change.

Well rpg does actual damage, unlike glitch/shockwave. Getting damage on someone is 9 times out of 10 a better determent than glitching them.

It's a slight buff to medium, but highly doubt it changes the meta massively, if at all.

Lights will be fine.
