I know I mentioned it before, but the goal was to get it used more often, not spammed. To use it more often, but not used constantly. More than it's used now, but not able to flick it on and off the entire match. Right now the use of hydro and chute vent is extremely, extremely uncommon. Absurdly uncommon. You might use it once or twice in a match, you might use it not at all. I tend to carry it on most of my builds, but it hardly sees any use on a good portion of them.

I don't actually see how this is a problem. You take hydro/chute for those situational possibilities, and if they don't happen to come up in a match that's why you're able to carry three tools.

I mean, if you really want to use them more, then figure out how to best optimize them instead of changing values around which would make the drawbacks of using one negligible.

Captain Smollett:
Oh Thomas, you should really stop doing that to the wall over there, think the building is going to collapse.

...

I think Thomas is advocating slightly less negative effects to the balloons so that the strategic area where using the tools increased, not to the point where they are spammed, but to the point where the decision to use them isn't exclusively for extreme situations.

Crafeksterty:
Smollett pretty much disected and translated it to the brim.


No one really chooses chute vent or hydrogen because the drawbacks scares them alot. But i still stand by that it is Claw and maybe some other tools that need adjusting first. Fix what is being abused, change what is being underutilised later.

Because when you fix what is being abused, perhaps then will you see what is underutilised be more utilised.

Kestril:
I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I use the chute vent and hydrogen regularly to re-position myself in a gunfight. Over the course of a match, if the fighting is particularly demanding, I'll use them about six-to-eight times. However, normally it's just three or four, which is about as many times as I emergency moonshine or kerosene.


Sure, it's not as often as the other tools, but I think that's an indicator that the other tools need to be looked at and made to have more of a drawback.

Keep smashing! As mentioned before, some people, like me, disagree with your very goal.
Right now the use of hydro is uncommon (no need for extremes here). That's how I personally like it, for reasons elaborated above. I also don't see the need for buffing it in any form either, because despite activating it rarely in matches, those times when I actually use it, the benefit gained is great enough to make hydro one of my most favorite steering tool picks nevertheless. I also doubt that I'm alone with this view, as hydro is a very common steering tool choice among experienced pilots.
