Matt forgot to add why this (or hive memory) was made. It was made to let xenos bounceback but at the same time without making xenos too strong in a late game
Hive Memory was a bit misguided from my side, but fun nonetheless
This one is good IMO. During first round Xenos bounced back twice and weren't too strong
Yeah playing against elder crushers for example is not a fun experience rightnow. And I'm speaking as someone that likes to play crusher a lot (when playing as alien) and carries hard as them.
Current elder crusher just cannot be killed as long as you dont fuck up.
Changes seem very good judging by the rounds I played and should fix said issues with crushers and so on

I didn't see much change altogether. The two rounds I played in did feel like marines were getting curbstomped hard, despite winning the almayer defense in the second round, but it didn't feel like anything was much different from the usual curbstomps.
The one thing I've been arguing for so long. Glad to see that it's being tested.
1. Add a slowdown effect so it takes the crusher a couple tiles to cancel his charge instead of doing it instantly and abrubtly?
2. When a crusher hits something but doesn't ram through it, bounce him off and apply a short stun, like on pounce?
3. Just reduce crusher health a bunch?
Not sure what else could be done to flesh out the crusher a little better.
Personally glad that the Lurker stunlocking capabilities have been reduced, although I'm not a fan of T3 being weakened. Although if those timers are indeed halved it's 100% welcomed

If this goes in, the one thing I'd consider tweaking is mutators to balance for the faster maturity rate.
Otherwise, this pretty much fixes most of the xeno side's problems.
Great change. Next step is nerf xeno speed.
