Card owner: Remi
Description:
"Change aliens to use a Overwatch/MOBA style since it is confusing to know what "weapon" you have selected as an Alien. This would also help with people getting stuck on parasite or babbler ball. Mouse1 ability could always be the damage dealer.

This would require UI changes as well to better show the available hotkeys."

This will have fully rebindable hotkeys just like the other keys used in the game, please give your feedback for this idea so it can be worked on.
You sick of accidentally parasiting someone in melee combat instead of biting? this will help you.

I have been asking for something along these lines for a looooong time, I would love to see it in game and I believe it would make learning to play most (if not all) lifeforms much easier for beginners.

This would make the skulk bite para bite similar to script speeds. No thanks.

Is there maybe a different way to relay to the player which is selected?

For example, on lerks, the spikes are replaced by... nozzles?

Maybe have the parasite spike sit on the skulk tongue or something?

Not sure about gorge/fade/onos, but it could be an interesting discussion.


Also, what about removing mouse wheel for switching weapons as a default binding? In my own personal experience, the rate at which i was stuck on the wrong ability decreased significantly after I stopped using the scroll wheel.
