so many issues with troodon

[Fried_Boba]

yeesh there is a lot wrong or broken with troodon, where do i start. I guess to start off ill say its a pain to play them when there are so many pounce and hitbox bugs still around even though im sure i read in every devblog that bugs were the main focus for multiple developers.

being killed/hit WHILE mountED(and yes its while mounted, not while mountING, i can literally hear the venom register from my group mates after i die), getting stuck for ~1 second after dismount, and appearing to be pouncing air and then being able to be hit. theres probably more but thats what ive seen the most. And then we have the overall hitbox bugs that ive experienced the most with cera and gallis, where theyve completely missed but i still get hit(this is also still an issue with deinos, stegs, and carnos). but all these bugs make the troodons literal one ability to kill...completely unreliable.(ik bugs should be posted in the bugs discussion but nothing ever happens there)

Then we have other issues like the troodon itself. low stam and low speed. im not sure i understand the point of making troodons slower than omnis or making them have less stam than them, troodons are one hit one kill and omnis are better in literally everyway but theyre on our diet??? getting a omni envenomated is easy sure, but ive seen many times when an omni will insert itself in a fight with a large group of troodons, kill a few, get envenomated, run away, wait awhile, come back, and continue killing them bc the venom wore off and troodons dont do any damage without it.

Lastly troodons natural abilities like nightvision and its oddly fast water drain and slightly fast food drain. There is nothing special about troodons nightvision when i thought they were supposed to be night terrors. yea they have longer distance nightvision than other dinos but that doesnt really do anything when they have to get up close to attack(and mainly in open fields). so maybe its an issue with the other dinos NV being too good still but i typically prefer to hunt during that day as a troodon bc at least I can see them better.

and then the water drain which is just too high and the food drain i think is fine-ish but troodons cant really kill for food when theyre young so...
(OH AND the weird ass noise they make while eating which attracts literally everything to it bc its so loud wtf?)

i find troodon hard to play just because of how low it is to the ground, i love the concept of being a scary little skinkly creature but feeling like a toddler unable to see the counter top and seeing nothing but grass while growing doesn't make my favorite gameplay.
the night vision is also just hard to look at so having somethings entire advantage being based around that isn't for me.
the pounce glitches have been horrendous too, trying to play utah and it feels like every other pounce bugs out in one way or another. at least it can tank a glitched bite or two unlike troodon.
glad they released the update cause i wanted to play, but it absolutely needed a little longer in the oven.
