Interesting concept and nice logos 👌 (Did you get some inspiration from onsen signs ? 😂)
I'm confused by the "Non-stacking" description, zo. What do you mean by "nor does it stack bonuses with other Nike abilities" ? What are these other abilities ? Each mech has only one ability that I know of.
Also, are you positive that the Cooldown ability would combine with individual cooldown implants ?

By “doesn’t stack bonuses with other Nike abilities” I mean 2 Nikes together with their abilities can’t make players reload mega fast, only the benefits of one Nike can be received. As for cooldowns, it’s possible that this would need to be individually tuned for a couple of bots in order to prevent it from being oppressive. While I was creating it, I thought of as many abilities combined with this as I can and I can’t figure out something that would break the game. Also, the ability icon, while it does appear to be an onsen sign, was supposed to be, well, a heat sink logo lol, the waves of the onsen and the heat sink represent the same thing, heat/steam radiating up. Maybe I gotta work on that xD |

By “doesn’t stack bonuses with other Nike abilities” I mean 2 Nikes together with their abilities can’t make players reload mega fast, only the benefits of one Nike can be received. Ok I get it now, the wording was confusing. Something like "with other Nikes' abilities" or "with the abilities of other Nike mechs" would work better IMHO. As for cooldowns, it’s possible that this would need to be individually tuned for a couple of bots in order to prevent it from being oppressive. While I was creating it, I thought of as many abilities combined with this as I can and I can’t figure out something that would break the game. Off the top of my head, the weapon which'd benefit from it the most in terms of "abuse" is the Arc Torrent, given its continuous reloading feature can take full advantage of the ability's 5 second duration. |

Off the top of my head, the weapon which'd benefit from it the most in terms of "abuse" is the Arc Torrent, given its continuous reloading feature can take full advantage of the ability's 5 second duration. This was how I thought about weapons: A 50% reduction to reload is the same thing as a 100% boost to damage, but a little worse. The cycle DPS is the same, but the burst is better from 100% damage boost. As we know, there already exists a bot with an ability that functions the same as Nike’s but provides a damage boost instead of a reload boost, that being Brickhouse, and it’s quite a low tier bot. So the only thing that I’m worried about potentially being too strong is bot abilities, which don’t get affected by the BH ability. You’re definitely correct that torrents would get the best use of this, as they would have no downtime during the 5 second duration, but this is balanced by the fact that torrents are close range and the player using them would need to remain close to the ally Nike, so if an enemy backs out of range and the Nike doesn’t want to push in that close, the torrents will lose the effect. |
