What a thrill…
Damn! I thought those were some kind of sprite bug. Playing against these wasn’t fun so far, it definitely needs to be revised (the sprite). As someone who played a lot of drone, I think it’s actually a great idea and I love the theme it’s trying to convey, but this is definetely not it! Maybe the sprite should have a larger hitbox, despite the size? So it’s hard to see, but not hard to detect? I don’t know.
Yes, because a lesser drone buff is exactly what we needed right now!
I love when a lesser UAV compresses to the size of a mouse, runs up to my IB patients, throws a hugger at the both of us, tail stabs, and suicides into the middle of the Marine line.
Not to mention they have insanely buffed and bugged evasion too, for some reason?
Only to respawn 5 minutes later, and repeat the exact same process
This PR is the equivalent of giving all Marine riflemen a crouch ability, that completely nullifies Xeno directional attacking, and gives them the ability to matrix dodge 1/3 slashes
Literally what is the point of this feature

Since when do you need to sprite click with guns? Dont bullet hit whatever they come across.
Only gun that i can think of that NEEDS sprite clicking is PB with the shotgun.
But yeah, having rouny no longer able to hide is pretty silly. Not really worth it.
Sprite clicking is actually very important
I wouldn’t in a million years implement a feature like this. This is honestly game-breaking.
So, of course, I expect it to stick around and become fully implemented regardless of what anyone thinks. You can just feel it with some PR’s. I think because they are so on-the-face ridiculous that a simple sanity check would’ve stopped them before they even got there.
The fact they bypassed a simple sanity check means there’s an unnatural impetus behind it, one you can’t beat with 50 downvotes and a whole thread saying “this sucks”.

sprite clicking while shooting anything is a 100% guaranteed hit, if the bullet flies in their direction and thry arent resting it rolls to hit them with the accuravy of the bullet and the evasion of the xeno, thats why rounies are known for dodging PBs from buckshot without sprite click (they HAD the highest evasion in the game, not sure now) from this thread i heard that stalking increases evasion and makes the sprite smaller, lesser drones allready had a high evasion and i dont know if their evasion is higher then roony while stalking (rounies stalk only slows you down)
another thing about sprite clicking is their bullets, you fire in the direction of the xeno and the bulkets get a certain homing property, if they move by 1 tile you will still hit them, depending on range it will hit with more, and if you sprite click a burst on a rouny they are dead, its like sprite clicking each bulket in the burst
the only counter to high evasion is high accuracy or sprite clicking good luck, with that
honestly we should make runner stalk more fleshed out, if it makes us slower, think we shouldnt be picked up by MDs when we are in stalk mode :))
