I have some ideas for balancing.IQ should be able to destroy enemy electronics with her electronic detector by looking at it for 4 seconds. This keeps her worse than twitch and thatcher because she cant detroy multiple electronics at once and is left in the open without cover.Next is castle, castle is basically useless in all levels of play his castles say fuze me. So what I was thinking is make it so he cant be fuzed. Kapkan is still bad after the update so I think you make it so you can see his laser and make him have 5. Last is capitao, many times I find myself having a injure in room not wanting to waste another bolt on my injure. So I think instead of smoke bolts that do nothing, Capitao should have bolts that are impact nades instead of smoke bolts. I have other ideas but Im lazy.

The IQ idea: she would be OP as all hell. She would be able to wipe every electronic device on certain objectives without ever entering the building.
The Castle idea: I've thought of this as well, and I like this idea. It would give him a good use for maps with many windows.
Te Kapkan idea: That's exactly what I've been saying this entire time.
Capitao: I don't have him so I can't really speak on him.

Let me be clear she would lose her grenades and also have to be close to destroy. Just so shes not superior to twitch and thatcher.

There are so many ops in the game that make no sense like jackal cav castle and many others so.Originally Posted by BrynhiIdr Go to original post

It depends on how close you mean. because within 5 meters she would still be able to wipe an entire floor from below. Anything less, and why bother losing the best gadget in the game for a situational buff?
She could also just walk up to a Bandit wall and destroy it from the other side with no risk. Still kinda bad.

This is kind of an interesting hypothetical discussion - so I have a question: disregarding whether it would be balanced or not, what would be the mechanism/story behind an ability to disable electronics just by looking at them?
For cameras perhaps we could say she's using a strong laser to destroy it, but what about other electronics? Outside of an EMP, i can't really think of anything that can act as an all-around electronics destroyer.

I think a better IQ buff would be allow her to set a camera on loop showing an empty room/scene for 30 seconds, if she is within viewing distance of the camera with her gadget. Not too powerful but can be beneficial. Think of it as a hack mechanism that would take 5 or so seconds.
Alternatively the ability to make a defender (electronic-based) gadget work against the defenders instead of against the attackers, requiring a 15-20 second hack within viewing distance of her gadget. The 'converted' gadget would then have a purple colour to it instead of normal allowing for defenders to identify a compromised gadget.

k 4 things. Iq doesn't need buff. Castle is used alot at high level... fuze isn't... the smoke bolts on capiteo is the only reason he is used in pro-league and high level play... and how the **** does cavera not make sense? she literally interrogates them and gets Intel on them then for balance purposes her team knows where the rest of the enemies are.
