Dear Devs, Care for some love for the Mortar pls?

[JFF44]

I played both Btd 5, 6, and I don't hate mortar, it's fun to watch it shoot explosives and watch it goes boooom, but I do hate to micro it when comes to challenges (doubt many ppl will skip it)

So here's an idea ( not sure if it had been mentioned before)

The Dartling gun from Btd5 is totally different from Btd6's, it only follows your mouse and you can't lock them on a specific places, but Btd6? You got a skill that let you "Unlock them" when in danger , which is nice

Why not just implement this "control" on mortar as well? Maybe you had to learn it from the knowledge system, then upon deploying the mortar, you can "Press the skill " in order to "tell" all mortar to focus on 1 area (assuming you need heavy weapon in certain scenario)

I think one of the reason why mortar is bad cuz not everyone know how to "perfect the shot" and "you might missed the bloons " also, micro-ing your mortar also take away some time if you do missed them bloons...

Of course you can still set your own target for each other mortar if you want

You mean a follow mouse targetting for mortar? I am totally onboard with this.

Well...not really, something more like "Oh crap" then you push the button, to trigger all Mortar to fire on the location "Your Mouse" are on, yeah...you're right, it then will have to be "Rebind" to a certain strategic location later on

Yeah, making some sort of MK buff to mortars to let them target in literally any other way would make it useful. I know I don't bother with it (haven't even finished unlocking all the upgrades despite my level being in the mid-100s) because it's not worth the money and I'm not microing when I just have towers that target automatically that I could invest in. If I recall correctly, TD5 does allow you to buff the towers to make them automatically target bloons just like any other tower if you got the building thing (you know, the one you can only use to buff one tower at a time).

Ah...the specialty buildings...but i do liked how BTD6 amp it up compared to the previous game, choosing only 1 buildings at a time is not my favorite part of the game tbh
