Plague Spreader - Black Plague bugged

Postby digitalistical » Wed Sep 27, 2017 2:34 am

Plague Spreader (upgrade from Meat Wagon > Flesh Launcher) has a skill that is bugged: Black Plague and it is very easy to reproduce.

It is supposed to do this:
Skill Black Plague
Launched diseased corpses infecting units that comes in contact with the carrier of the Black Plague. Black Plague deals 100 damage per second in 160AoE. Lasts 3 seconds."

BUG: Black Plague rarely triggers/activates. Is this skill supposed to have a % chance to activate?

To reproduce it: Start a match, build a Meat Wagon, upgrade to Flesh Launcher then Plague Spreader by wave 2/3 where creeps have <100hp. Watch how rarely you see the Black Plague effect activate.


- Please fix this or update the skill description to properly reflect the % chance to activate the skill.


Thanks for the wonderful map :)

@digitalistical The skill only deals damage while the carrier of the plague is alive. When its dead, it does not deal damage.

@HELLRAlSER

I do appreciate the explanation, but why did you nerf this unit? Just cause late game? They are crap early on... kill one hit, no spell help. Maybe a melee plague spell to help them a little (dmg/sec to nearby unit)?

Still love the map

edit: the dmg/sec could be a useful value early and then worthless later on (like he is worthless early on now ;) ) and then value on both ends? Love to hear your thoughts.
