Zoanthrope Warp Lance broken

[Gisli]

Warp Lance hits through walls but that's intended as it is a psychic beam, but explain to me why they also hit when it is nowhere near you.

I have far too many clips and screenshots to share where the laser beam hits approximately 10-15m away from me and chunks all of my armor and hp

why. I rolled away and the beam is completely facing another direction and it still hits, how is that okay?

Why you do this?

Fix please.

Sounds like a massive lag so for the server you stood on the other position? Have it sometimes that some minoris suddenly is behind me for a jump attack.

Nah, happens consistently. Its just the Warp Lance, the other attacks are completely fine, Warp Lance is nonsensical atm, and in every round it ruins the mood when a Zoan zaps you but isn't even aiming at you lmao

I once got killed, because Zoanthrope killed my teammate and made 180 to damage me with the same laser shot.

So yeah, Zoans need some work

I see, that sucks, though for me the issue lies in the fact that I am often COMPLETELY away from the laserbeam and it STILL for god knows what reason HITS me. WHY

I AM 10-15m AWAY, STOP HITTING ME I AM NOT EVEN NEAR IT..

[Medicles]

Yeah, i too have experienced a far too big hitbox of the laser for a while. It doesnt graze me yet damaged me.

[Ashrock]

So that's what's been going on, I was wondering but always attributed it to lag.

[Gisli]

its Zoanthropes making it too easy to hate them

I hate them the most. I hate them because they're the worst part of the Tyranids or me, all Thropes, horribly done, horribly developed. In tabletop and lore they're the most interesting to me but in this game they're the worst ever as that Lance is HORRIFIC

Every single time it does a nonsense Warp Lance, me and my buddies simply lose the entire vibe as it is such a bull CRAP attack and sometimes both of the zoans will use it TWICE

[Gisli]

I am telling you again, nothing ruins this game for me and all my friends than Thropes. They are the F U C K I N G worst

I always play Lethal as it is the most fun and I win all the time [except when but even then I cannot stand the thropes

They're not even difficult to kill as i win but good GOD they're the WORSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT with that laser beam

I literally know NO ONE in my friend group that even slightly finds them interesting in this game, they ALL HATE THE THROPES

[Gisli]

I dont give a damn about that crowd because I actually win, its not like i am struggling against Zoans they're killable (even tho they're still far too tanky imo)

its just they're TRASH to fight against, they're boring, lame.

I love like almost all enemies in this (some chaos ones are also EH but still)

but Zoans i cannot fathom my rage against them, as i genuinely hate how they were made because I actually love them in the lore and tabletop

[Gisli]

Warp Lance makes them even worse was always my point, but now that they spawn more its just.. ehh, sucks the fun out of it all. I can face anything really, Neurothropes suck horribly too but at least i can single it out, but when 2 zoans warp lance so often its just.. not it!

i saw a teammate go down to two of them warp lancing TWICE at once too.. TWICE, so both of the Zoans where behind a wall and they warp lanced, the beams flew at my teammate, he dodged one but could not dodge the second one, but THEN THE ZOANS REPEATED THE WARP LANCE AND HE LITERALLY DIED FROM FULL SHIELD

he was our tactical lmao

They got your attention though that's interesting right? They're the most hated bad guy in the game. They're famous. I bet they're weekly attendees at the Bad-Anon support group.

I can somewhat stomach how disgusting they are when they warp lance through all objects which is fine as it is a psychic beam and it ignores physical objects its meant to ignore them but what i cannot accept is when the game gets me hurt when I am physically not even NEAR the lance beam.

Hit me when you hit me, that's fine but don't hit me when i have rolled away to an entirely different direction and your beams are not even GOING MY WAY lmao

again, I can solo a Hive Tyrant, chaos terminators spawning over and over, sorcerers bringing all chaos marines i killed back to life, i can survive 8 venom cannon warriors shooting over and over by using the terrain and well timed executions hop by hop and easily win lethal nonstop with any class but I cannot survive 2 zoans spawning in walls impervious to ranged damage and then proceeding to start warp lancing me 4 times in 2 seconds on lethal ^^

btw Zoans are supposed to be very rare in the lore, rarer than most but somehow this Tendril of Nids have a god dang super eldar-dna breeding pit ready for 6-8 Zoanthropes to spawn in a mission at any moment for just 3 marines.

[Fallen-Star]

Once had a Zoan one shot me from full HP with a single beam because it hit me at a weird angle which caused it to hit 3 times, I made sure to record it.
This was on Bulwark btw (20% extra hp passive)

It's kinda crazy how much of an issue this enemy can be depending on what class you have.
As Sniper you can put a Zoan into execute state with one shot out of cloak, then quickly clean up the other with like 2-3 shots.
Meanwhile a class like Assault has to pelt away at it for eternity with the peashooter taking multiple clips and actually having to deal with the crappy shield mechanics and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ attacks the Zoan has.

The thing I love the most about them tho is when they hide inside/behind each others shield and essentially become immortal.
Oh and the quad orb spam forcing you to sit behind cover and not shoot for ages is great too.
FUN FUN FUN!!!

[AonGreyFox]

Yup, no one like the first child from dev. It is really really love by dev. that when 4.1 note arrive instead of fix the laser broken hit box and dmg that highest in the game. They give a 2-3 second more cooldown shield switch with didn't help anything at all. Dev these day :v

[Szataniel]

Zoan lance attack is broken as hell. it can hit you even when you are on his back and shots completely other way.

[Wakipai Pero #PLAYGG]

Enemy hitboxes in SM2 are pretty bad. They're generally too big. Enemies would swing at air and you'd get hit. You'd be almost behind a Carnifax and still get hit by it's forward slam attack. It's one thing if the visuals communicate that, but they all don't.
