Hello it's my, the Changeling obsessed ling apologist. Here with a bunch of random thoughts about Changelings and how I feel they are kind of weak right now. So here's a bunch of my thoughts.
1. Headspiders should be free. Why do headspiders cost DNA points when they are the perfect second chance for lings that are caught early? The amount of Lings I see get caught so early on is kinda sad. Or one bad situation and they don't even have their one little escape. If the worry is that they would spam it- maybe give it a long cooldown between bodies. Or they have to eat at least one person inbetween.
2 Limb Critters aren't worth the cost - Limb critters are not worth half the dna points of a kill (Which is a lot harder now that you don't get any from npcs.) I feel like limb critters should be a little stronger, not insanely so, but I shouldn't be able to just punch a leg to death as a staffie with only minor damage.
3. Shambling Abomination - A few little things that annoy me about this. First of all, why can anyone just pull anybody away from you when you're eating them? It's already hard enough when you're swarmed with like six people and one single person sprinting past you can completely deny a kill, even if you punched them all into crit, they can move one tile and interrupt the entire thing. You can punch into crit, pin, then start eating, and one person pulling them can instantly deny it.
Second of all, why does leaving Shambler early drain most of your points? You can't even strategically decide to leave it early to conserve points. It's all gone!
Yes this is a slight grump post and I don't expect ALL of these to be put in at once obviously, but maybe at least a few could be considered?
