  Yeh test server seems all the maps got a little bit of new cover Test server is in TDM only though so the cover might not be in BR/Dom but who knows |

Yeh so more cover for haiechi and only bot who can go 1 vs 1 against it I.e plasma grif can’t do anything coz plasma don’t have splash damage while they can always side shoot with ork or come out shoot and hide if have shocktrains ...nty..little cover is ok but so many are definitely not ok |

In TDM ONLY that's a good idea do it will discourage campers. It would also be nice if those targets actually rendered bullet marks on them for accuracy tests.

Snipers cant shoot thru cover. My point being mobile bots especially light and jumping bots will tend to benefit from this. |

Snipers cant shoot thru cover. My point being mobile bots especially light and jumping bots will tend to benefit from this. Ork haiechi don’t need to shoot through cover..splash damage of 3 ork can kill anyone and with covers as small as those splash damage can’t be avoided even if you move other side he’ll change his firing directions and hide..also Shocktrain haiechi would need 1 shot which is possible in fight I guess and he will be back to hiding..I believe it has more cons than pros..advantage specially for dashes..and more specially for haiechi it’s really nice unless anyone hit it with shocktrains..it can avoid zues and pdb griff easily and I believe with help of its sheild missiles can be avoided by dash with very less hp gone or none..yeh it may be good for jumping bots ..but only jumping bot except grif which is good for diamond + is rog..what else would you use other than that ? Cossack ? Griffin is too slow and over might not be too good for it ..it’s just like pix nerfed haiechi a little so let’s give them tactical advantage over field by providing covers |

Everybody and their mother has taken a treb/zeus up a nostril at one time or another. I'd rather face a haechi with even a marginal chance that he may have a heart attack while fighting me than crossing open area to get at a sniper just to get my junk shot off on route (and free silver for him). I get that more cover gives kbots an advantage off the bat, but given proper tactics additional cover isnt an exclusive benefit to just them. Hell, even snipers will have to work for a clear shot.
