Cannon for Thatch

[Ghost]

The next big update is going to add a new weapon and a new legend into the game. The new weapon is a cannon. I don't know if it's just me but I think it would make a lot of sense to trade out Thatch's blasters for a cannon, especially with the sigs that his blasters have.

And who else should be Sword / Guns?

Well they can always add a new legend for that. It shouldn't be very difficult to come up with a new legend or at least the lore/characteristics of a new legend for that combo.

A pirate with a sword and pistols isn't too far off.

i think thatch players would be dismayed (if they even have feelings) and the stuff you could pull off with the relative quickness of thatch's guns and their sigs would be ruined (because of the different speeds cannon works at)

Well they don't have to have the EXACT same sigs, but the cannonballs just fall in line. Besides, saying swapping out the blasters for a cannon would "dismay" thatch players is just like saying everyone is dismayed about dodge ont he floor becoming dash. It's jsut a new mechanic to adjust to.

a mechanic is not comparable to a new weapon that players have to learn completely for a character they like
bmg haven't swapped weapons out on specific characters for a very long time, it would be uncharacteristic if they did it for exclusively one legend with some mismatched sigs (especially since it's just one sig that doesn't fit the look of the guns)

I understand what you mean but I must still disagree. Players are going to get used to the new mechanic anyway, it's bound to happen, and there are plenty of other legends that Thatch "mains" can switch to if they don't like Thatch with a cannon instead of blasters. As for how BMG haven't swapped weapons, well there's a first time for everything. Sure that one sig is the mismatch for blasters, but all three sigs would be a match for the cannon.
Also, if they don't trade Thatch's blasters for a cannon, they should at least trade out that mismatched sig because now it's more mismatched than before.

doing that is just nitpicky and completely unnecessary honestly, i believe most people would say the same

Right but most players also feel like Dash is unnecessary. I know that if I were the developper I would want the game to make sense and everything to line up so whether a change is nitpicky or not wouldn't matter, but that's just me.

Would you at least agree that maybe they should add it to experimental to get actual feedback from players and see the actual opinion instead of the few of us talking like this and pretending we know what everyone thinks?

Well the dash change was wanted by most of the community. It's just that they are not vocal about it. (blah blah, discord server, blah blah, change people didn't like were deleted, like the mine not exploding when thrown and the jumping sigs and the sig stalling and the old dash)

Changing the entire half of a character moveset just because 1 sig could make more sense with the cannon (and it wouldn't, because it fires both at the same time) isn't a big enough reason.

Pointing out that a real cannon shoots only one cannon ball but Thatch's blasters shoot 2 is dumb because of the general idea of how the game works, so you can't be pointing that out. There's tons of weird stuff that occurs like how Mirage stabs her spear into the ground and 5 more appear. Surely Thatch can shoot 2 cannonballs from a cannon.

And making a character more aesthetically pleasingand sensical and adding a new mechanic for more people to get in touch with certainly seems like a big enough reason to me.

surely thatch should be able to shoot cannonballs from his pistols then, since 2 cannonballs from a cannon equally makes no sense

But I'm not just saying he should have a cannon cause he shoots cannonballs, he should have a cannon cause he's a pirate and pirates have cannons on their pirate ships so it makes sense in that aspect too.

pirates also use pistols, that they carry with them
