Weapon throwing

[Petralicious]

I'm not saying it's OP or anything but it gets infuriatingly annoying, especially when most of my matches are just me chasing people cherry-picking everything.
Give it a cooldown like airdodges have or make it so that you can't pick the weapon up X seconds after throwing it or something.
I mean, it's a free hitbox that comes out quick, stays out for long, makes ezpz combos and with some weapons has a pretty big hitbox.
It's like every character is Duck Hunt Duo. Spamming projectiles and running away. Except most aren't crap once you get close enough. That's really annoying.

I just want some fights without projectiles dammit. Not having grabs and shields is something I love but other fighting games at least don't give everyone free spammable projectiles.
It feels like most battles are the same, just avoiding throws, instead of, you know, having different games with different matchups.

Inb4 git gud/git out/dodge/it's the meta and it shouldn't change because meta is meta/mad cuz bad

To be perfectly honest, a lot of the time I rely on items throws just to make people like you angry. You can see the irritation in their playstyle, it starts getting sloppy and I get my opening to throw a heavy in.

Yes its horrible, horribly funny.

jkjk

well except for the dodge part

dodge and they're out of a weapon

hold onto yours or throw yours and then punch em in the face

don't be a salty snail

If it helps... weapons throws do like, 1-3 damage. Up to like, 10 if full charged on a high damage stat characters.

that moment you haven't seen what real annoying weapon throwing is (btw it already has a cooldown, was added almost a year ago)

I don't find it much of a deal. They aren't too hard to dodge and I'm not great at it but the dodge button works good too

Throws are expressly about countering heavies. I do agree that it sometimes makes me angry, but hey, everyone can do it, so it's fair use.

I think it's a core mechanic and something I should get used to, unlike some character being OP, I'm not saying "remove pls" or "you are a scrub for using this".
I'm just concerned about it being so... viable. It's like a get out of jail free card, a fast and easy hitbox.
Also it feels like I'm playing against Duck Hunt Duo (if anyone has played Smash 4 you'll understand 3 projectile moves, all being thrown out continuously) every game. Every game is the same: Watch out for throws, dodge, punish (or not), generally try to rush down the opponent because they just run away and keep throwing hitboxes at you.
Playing ranked when I don't see anyone of my friends online/wanting to play customs feels like such a chore as of lately.

I do use throws myself because, well they are a core mechanic, and a useful one at that, but it feels unrewarding and boring. Maybe it's just me not being more of an upclose person rather than a projectile person.

I'd actually like to see more throwables added to the game, or any items in general. Maybe they could add items that alter your stats like limited invincibility or limited speed boost

This might possibly kill the balance in ranked games

They don't necessarily have to make them available in ranked games

It's not and Queen Nai is slow as hell. Just punish. Her hitboxes do need a rework tho.
