now that we have made some changes to Cait traps...

can we do something about traps

which currently do 40 damage plus .2 AP (aka HALF), dont root people, and cant be placed in lane because minions trigger them dont give as much vison when placed

while cait traps do double the damage, have better scaling, root enemy champs.. and are not triggered by minions and grant good vision during placement.

if i cant get them to not trigger on minions, if i cant get them to root enemy champs, if i cant get them to provide vision on placement. CAN I AT LEAST GET MY % HP SCALING BACK?

.2 AP (aka HALF)

Someone didn't pass the unit on decimals.

Also Cait's traps don't deal inherent damage anymore

No. It will never be changed because they still enable the rest of nid's kit.

Different traps, different functions. The only similar aspects are how you place them and the vision they grant.

which is what? placing them under monsters? to root them?

guess what? my SPEAR also roots them has a longer range does about 20 as much damage and has a shorter cooldown.

yes they proc my passive when people step on them.. WHY DOES THAT MATTER? i have about 4 seconds to pounce on them after they proc it.

so a few things have to occur..

they 1: have to be stupid enough to step on a trap that i can't place in any decent defensible location because they will proc on minions 2. i need to be within range to pounce in WHEN they step on the trap. 3. they need to be a a low enough hp that i can go in get the kill and get out without getting instagibbed.

i have played over 500 games as nid SINCE the rework.. you wanna know how many times someone has met ALL 3 requirements for the traps to be useful vs players?

ZERO!!! NOT ONCE!!

so don't bother telling me that they proc my passive on players..

my teammates cant take advantage of that, and I cant take advantage of that.

so the ONLY thing they do is root monsters and proc hunted on them. THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
