So I've hated changelings for a long time but just now I've had my worst experience with them. I load in as head of security and go through my usual routine of gearing up and everything. As I return to the security office from upgrading my ID I see the changeling detective finish absorbing the other security officer. Figuring his acid was on cooldown as he had clearly just absorbed the other security officer I charge him with my taser and stun him.. Only to be acid spit immediately afterwards, so less than 5 minutes into the round the changeling has successfully killed the entire security force with basically no issues.
I understand the argument that you shouldn't fight changelings alone but let's face it, this is SS13 and people rarely care about fighting antags anymore and usually you don't even have time to call for help if you get into a fight because you have to stand still to type. Really the changeling shouldn't be able to spit someone and choke them to death before they even know what's going on, the cooldown should either be raised or the effectiveness of the acid spit should be reduced. Maybe don't let the changeling spit homing acid at people if he's stunned?
