Redemption!?!?

<div class="IPBDescription">this is a joke...</div>Ok, i'd just like to start out by saying, onos's with redemption is insane!!! Basically, they don't die. Well...almost, you pretty much have to have a couple of ppl hitting them with shotties or something simultaneously for them to actually die, or be attacking the hive just as they respawn. I don't know how many time i've seen a team of marines on a do or die mission, all souped up in HA, HMG's, and GL's. And then, an onos with redemption and cloaking will pop up, eat a guy, and get redemed by the hive, while still digesting the marine. In short, the onos lost about 5sec of gameplay b/c he has to heal, while the comm just lost 45 res if u include the welder. Not to mention the fact that the team is now much weaker. Even though onos now cost 100res, they're still WAAAAY too powerful. Here's my idea.
-Onos should not be able to eat HA.
-Redemption should be more balanced
-Make onos a little cheaper, say...85 res or so
Redemption is all powerful for an onos...but not really worth much for a skulk. Here's what i think they should do. Each lvl of redemption should allow a 30% chance to be brought back to the hive. So, with all 3 lvl's, thats a 90% chance to get a second life. However, every time redemption is used, it has a 25% less chance of working the next time. So...if you successfully redeem twice, you now have a 40% chance of it working if you near death again. That should balance it with carapace and regeneration, as well as among other alien classes.

Redemption while digesting is going to go in the future. Actually Onos are very weak without redemption if you haven't noticed, and digest is the alien's only chance against ha hmg(or even worse SG) squads.

Of course it should. How else would Aliens counter HA?

How does redemption work? Past a certain amount of HP, there is a 10% chance to be brought back to your hive, every 0.1 seconds.

I think that's how it goes anyways.
