Please nerf shell backs

[FRANKHOWITZER]

Ive gone back to helping some of my friends on hazard 3 and 4 and I didnt expect these particular enemies to be as bad as they are on haz 5. but come on, they cant be stunned, frozen, have armor all around theyre bodies, theyre weak point in absurd to hit, and they can kill you in 3 hit either melee or a rapid fire ranged attack that can hit you far across the map... Like why the heck are shell backs one of the strongest enemies in the game. Normally theyre not a problem but when your playing with new players and 3 shell backs show up out of no where and there's almost nothing you can do its very frustrating. atleast add the ability to slow them down or scare them.

They can be frozen, but only gives them the damage 3x debuff and not the freeze effect.

i hate to say this, but just kick the new players.

avoid h4 and above untill your team gets better

[Bam Bam]

kick your friends if they can't handle shellback

Shellbacks have already been nerfed more than enough.

Ranged attack leads based on your movement, just requires faking your movement, changing direction when the shot fires to dodge it.

Just build a fortress in the sky... If engineers started using their platforms this wouldn't be a problem.

Or you know : just shoot down the projectiles, like you would do with a spitballer.

Shellbackas can be rough, but I dont think they deserve a nerf. They have some really powerful shots also. Just quickly kill em.

[Derpykat5]

Shellbacks are rare enough that their power is warranted, especially when you consider that they spend a lot of the time in a vulnerable state where they can't attack, and their ranged attack makes them vulnerable.

Bring armor breaking next time

[phenir]

They spend 90% of the time being useless.

dont play a q'ronar shellbacks game, stay away to take these out asap with team focus.
shellbacks (younglings or mature ones) are extremely weak to acid, so if you have a driller with the sludge pump, its his job to melt them.

ive had games where i've seen shellbacks ignored, they would prevent players from reviving other dwarfs, because they would ping pong players around and cancel the revive animation.

lok1 is especially strong against them with the 100 % OC and electric effect
