HI! I'm a Marine main. I'm tired of seeing Xenos complain that their precious pylons have been taken away. So we should give them back, and I'm serious! What do pylons do? Stop mortar shells and CAS, effectively making two fun/rewarding aspects of marine absolutely useless. With no counterplay besides getting in melee range, there is little reason to do support by fire. So let's add counterplay! How does the actual military get into concrete bunkers with artillery? Timed Shells.
Timed Shells/Airburst: Mortar operator sets a timed fuze on a selected shell. Shell flies through the air has a %chance to penetrate pylon.
Pros:
A lucky shot could destroy a pylon.
Shelling is useful
Cons:
Smaller explosion because it landed on the ground (Most shells explode right before they touch the ground)
More Inaccurate because shells can bounce
Xenos have time to react
Keeper: Keepers are damn AP missiles they should be able to penetrate and destroy pylons
Overall what does this do? It allows counterplay against pylons that doesn't involve Bonzai charging a poor PVT. Open to suggestions as I don't play Xeno a whole lot.
