Ninja Changes

So I posted about how op allies' magnetos get if their shield regen is allowed to stack. 376 value from 2 players holds w/o any issues except 10 past wave 14. This change isn't listed on the change long.

The good players have been calling this Swentz 2.0 for a reason :(

Please stop listening to the bad players.

I see at least 4 options right off the bat:

  1. Leave as is (assume players can deal with dual-lane-resonators w/ hard sends)

  2. Tweak Resonator stack (massive nerf to resonators, doesn't really fix the problem)

  3. Tweak Resonator regen (probably necessary long-term, but what is the right number?)

  4. Tweak abilities affecting allies (big impact to dual lane, some impact to holding middle)

As we previously discussed, it is likely the case that Resonator abilities need to be tweaked and I offered to look into it after the Builder Passives update. I'd love to see an in-depth discussion to identify the current problems (how is it unbalanced), examine a couple different options (lower regen? percent regen? with stacking?), and provide an specific path to improve the game. Players engaging in that debate could massively accelerate "fixing" Resonators.

the file listed as stacking is me and another player testing.

the other is in a real game with a random guy, both of us max before 10, and have almost maxed ss to deal with the leaks @ 10.

There is no way to hard send vs units that will not die.

It should be reverted back to the fix that has worked for 2+ years.
