- Freeze Ray's damage is scaled by the 10s recharge time. This puts it in the same bucket as Blaze, TK Blast, Power Burst, Shout, Tesla Cage. - Bitter Ice Blast has a 12s recharge time, the same as all the other snipes. It makes sense to compare these powers based on recharge time and endurance cost because that's how the damage/effectiveness is scaled. I don't mean Freeze Ray is the literal 3rd tier power, but usually you call an attack "t3" when it's the attack between the t1/t2 attacks and the snipe in damage. Semantics aside, you can just compare by recharge time.

Based on patterns from other sets, Bitter Ice Blast would be the more likely candidate to be replaced with a snipe. Bitter Freeze Ray seems more comparable to powers like Voltaic Sentinel, Life Drain, Power Push, Beanbag, Stunning Shot… Freeze Ray is your t3 blast and BFR is more of a utility like those other powers. Asking for a snipe on top of what ice blast already has seems like a massive buff for no reason. Anyway, you could play a Scapper or Stalker and get your ice snipe over there, instead.

The whole point is to be able to bypass that because the MSR leader probably has more important stuff to do than track down a name in the league UI full of player names… This would be a great QoL update. And thanks Oklahoman for all the work you do in leading events and helping newer players in those events.

Hail of Bullets sets a precedent for this.

Would it be possible to add the arena camera as a P2W power? My thought is that it would make you an invisible entity that enemies/teammates can’t see or target. This would disable all of your powers and allow you to hover freely throughout the map. You’d still be able to be on a team like you can in an arena map, but you wouldn’t be able to perform any actions besides moving. The use cases for this I had in mind were: - Helping another player learn how to play by demonstrating something for them while they can safely watch up close. This would prevent them from needing to pick up stealth, phase shift, etc. - Recording gameplay footage of another player without showing up on their screen or impacting their gameplay. (This is the idea that brought me to this post) Some potential exploitation I could think of would be: - Removing any threat to yourself while collecting rewards if you’re on a team (Could mitigate this by disabling rewards while power is active) - Harassing other players in chat while not allowing them to see where you are
