Talk:Hydroid/@comment-27107613-20170306192407

Just kind of thinking aloud/wantng to share but it occurs to me that the devs could do a lot to make Hydroid less useless simply by giving him "retargeting efficiency:" lower energy costs and faster casting animations to cast his 1 and 4 when there's another one already up in exchange for inheriting the duration of the existing effect. That way duration would actually be relevant like it seems like it's supposed to be and they wouldn't even need to address the godawful targeting on his 4 -- though I certainly wouldn't complain if they did.
