The mired urn makes multiplayer harder

[Hook Master]

The mired urn is a thematically fitting boss item for the clay dunestrider.
And in solo play, it's usually pretty good.
But it is the absolute worst in multiplayer.
As a person who plays mobile characters a lot, it kills me when my team has mired urns and I get stopped because my teammate got too close.
I don't even care about the damage (even though it's a bit much if you don't have a lot of armor) but the slowdown and randomness of it.
I think the mired urn should only be able to target enemies and minions, not other players.
I get it, the point is to replicate how the dunestrider sucks the other enemies
but there's a line between "Staying true to the lore" and "griefing my teammates"

Come back when you’ve experienced Gesture + Meteorite and then tell me Mired Urn is the worst griefing item in the game.

not random, it prioritizes closest target
not horrible in multiplayer either, maybe your teammate is just using it wrong

That’s not only 2 items but 2 lunar items, and the meteorite is an equipment
The urn is 1 item
Also, never said it was the worst griefing item, it’s just the one I’ve had the most interactions with.

They weren’t using it, they just got close to me and happened to have low health
Sorry, random may have been a bit hyperbolic, but my point still stands

I have a policy, picking up Mired Urn or Meteorite is a kick. No exceptions. Even if you're engineer.

Mired Urn + 3 shaped glass..... I take damage... Kill my team but I'm now fully healed.

That's just straight teamkill lol. 88% of that healing was wasted because you have like no health

it only activates while the player holding it is "in combat" just don't go near players with urns while they are fighting things. there are a few builds that utilize abilities that allow you to remain out of combat while still doing damage and this allows for more control with the urns

I don't have eyes on the back of my head. Just don't pick up the griefer urn.

you can clearly tell when someone is in combat, you're just being ignorant now.

That really doesn’t change anything
Just because my teammate is fighting something shouldn’t completely restrict me from entering the area around them in fear of being leeched.

mired urn is also one of the most effective way to kill players intentionally, grab a few glass and focus crystal

I mean, to be fair. Lunar items and every other item are in two categories. With lunar items being the ONLY items in the game that offer a flat out draw back to using them, Every other regular item that drops from normal play that isnt a lunar item, offer no draw back to being used.

The only exception, is shield gens...if your dead set on building around one shot protection i guess. and happiest mask, but that only can cause harm if you (fittingly) have a ghost dune strider.

So...why then. is Mired urn the literal only non-lunar item in the game, that offers a constant draw back to being used? Kinda inconsistent if ya ask me.

first of all they are boss items secondly the jellyfish nova boss items requires your health to be extremely low to function so its not the only item outside of lunars, the 13 meter range isnt that big of a deal unless you have a greifer intentionally going into combat in the shop and just being stupid, its a good item all in all.

if your a range character you can literally go to any side of the boss and attack it theres no need to be near players with urn, melee the only issue because if you have more than one melee odds are dude running urn effectively is melee aswell

very good combo with urns engineer turrets and razorwire stacks, basicly same ass hellfire tincture but can alaways remain active without gestures or fuel cells
