I've noticed that the aphids seems to launch at a lower arch now. Almost seem to drop a bit as they are launched before going up. Most noticeable to me in Yam as I like to use my Jesse on the mid portion of the ramp to harass reds trying to come up the other side. Now when I throw em they smack the very top edge of the ramp and don't make it over.
This kinda blows since now I gotta go higher risking smackdowns from rockets, tridents etc.
Anyone else notice this?

That was their 'fix' to the collision detection issues that had the missiles explode on launch.

Lol, so the "fix" took us all the way back to pre-nerf, pre-buff, post (bot) speed buff? I find it hilarious that it took a year to go full circle on the Aphids.
The sad thing is "if" we went that far around, the least they could have done was return it to where you could force a higher arc to Aphids by having your bot walk backwards (old trick to using Aphids for those that didn't know).

They're pretty much back to being poor accuracy line of sight weapons. It doesn't clear nearly as much cover as it used to,and the amount of distance you need to be from a corner leaves you open to flank. At least when they were broken the first time they fired as a single cluster of FUBAR. |
