Make it only active if the player on which it's about to take effect if the alien hasn't been damaged by Marines in the past 3 seconds or something. If they take damage from falling, or a map entity, or a teammate - then it's fine. Make the 3-second timer reset only after damage caused by Marines.

Results: skulks take the same number of bullets to kill as b5 (helps Marines quite a bit), while higher lifeforms on the offensive can still easily stay on the offence, not needing healing as much from the hive/gorges.

Hmm?

I like it the way it is. It actually makes W1 a useful upgrade.

This idea would hurt fades disproportionately, since they're almost always blinking, attacking, or metabolizing.

Useless post here! Idea changed a bit.

what about making it so that they dont innate for 3 seconds after being damaged by bullets?


there are a lot of times when ive been a bad shot that day that ive sworn i would hav ekilled a skulk, and be like wow dude innate ftw and there like yep, 2 hp. im so used to all the previous version damage dealing that i know can feel when they should be dead and get upset when i feel they shoudl be dead but arent



whatevs, adapt or die as they say.

Yep, make it damage taken, not attack used. 2 or 3 seconds is fine.

I suggested a very similiar idea a while ago:
