Add crit to firebase

I honestly wish that you can add crt to the firebase and make the shots shoot purple.
I'd rather have this option with the level 3 hack on a level 3 firebase.

Do crits affect anything other than the shotty on a support? I tried running it as silver and imagined that the HH was boosted but I think I was just dreamin'.

The Heal/Hurt Gun can crit, but it's really hard to notice.

the firebase is already strong enough if you get within its range, don't give it this

Heck ya it is. A 2.3 can drop a tank with gold armor on its own.

i still love seeing juiced assassins run up to a 3.3 firebase, i just laughing at them

Only players' main weapons crit. Turrets, fodder, and skills do not and never will crit. Firebases may not be able to crit, but they have perfect accuracy and nearly zero acquire time. If another player walks in range of a firebase that isn't actively attacking another enemy they are going to get hurt and hurt bad. A healed 3.3 turret can pretty effectively shut down an area in the right location already.

If you're issue with the firebase is that it doesn't get enough kills on its own, you're thinking about how firebases are used a bit too narrowly. I personally see firebases as road blocks, not killers, but it all depends on their placement in the arena.

I miss the early days of this game when my firebase would net me 10+ kills to people that didn't realize how strong they were! Now I'm lucky to get a handful of kills per game with the firebase. It's mainly a fall-back point or a bot killer now.

I don't have a real issue with my firebases getting kills. I'm fairly successful at using them. Sometimes I end up getting no use out of it, sometimes it gets me more kills than you can count. But in general, I'm happy with the firebase.

basically what he is saying is, if your firebase is doing its job, you will never really know its working at all.

...unless the enemy team is a bunch of idiots. then it will be a rare game when your firebase gets an uberstreak.

i've gotten a 40 kill game as a support which i suck at, most were from a firebase right outside there spawn on steel peel (where the jump pad takes you to was where i had it sitting)

Especially the fact that it can shoot half-way across the map as 3.3 >.<

Firebases should be able to be hacked by enemy Supports. How scary will that be?!

"Ha, ha, ha I have a firebase in their zone!... wait... HEY.... THAT SUPPORT... NOOOO!!!"

I actually like this idea :twisted:

It'd be hard as hell to hack an enemy firebase...But just imagine the horror if you did! Cue enemy Support suiciding and picking another class :roll:

If they added crit they would have to reduce the range of the firebase, i mean.. a crittng firebase with the fastest firerate in the game shooting halfway across the map? doesn't sound to balance to me, lol

Sounds awesome to a Support though!

i could see a support with 4 hacked fire bases

Firebase is fine. Don't touch a wire(hair) on that darling little machine.

^That.

for some reason i would love if the firebase was more like the sentry gun in tf2.
