Bile Bomb: Bigger Radius

krapht

With the addition of a building radius limit, bile bomb is just not as useful anymore. Marine structures are farther away. Bile bomb often is just a single building killer now. I think the radius should be increased. Not because aliens are having any particular difficulty breaking bases right now.. but it isn't that fun when a strictly anti-building weapon is less useful than simply going skulk or fade to chew on a building. Currently, bile bomb is only more useful than skulks or fades when a gorge is in a inaccessible area (vent, or ledge) and marines have not yet researched grenades or grenade launchers.

Very good point. I hadn't thought of the build radius affecting bile bomb, though now you've brought it up it seems obvious!

IMO, bile bomb is good as it is. The only problem is that it's two hive ability, making the least useful when it is needed the most; against two hive lock-downs and eRT rushes.

Bile bomb is fine the way it is. I don't see any reason to increase the radius so it can hit a whole base at once like it could with bonsai bases.

Doing this would also increase other map-based problems like increasing the elec range did(i.e. bases more vulnerable to some vents).
