I take it that most Animists know that when they place Shrooms on the ground from elevated positions, like Eras T1 last night, they are bugged and enemies on the ground cannot kill/mezz/stun them.

Why Mythic have still not fixed this is a mystery but using it, as it was last night at Eras is plain bug abuse imo.

At least you can target and kill Theur pets, usually damn quick as well. Last night we ended up defending at the back of Eras T1. Some Animists puts down about 10 shrooms in one loc from the tower balcony. Ice wiz runs over tries to pbaoe them, nothing. I targeted but could not hit them.

I honestly think its a bit worse than unrootable theur pets.

an even better alternative would be not to use the bug in the first place?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the shrooms were probably placed in a spot they needed to get to...

I'd also guess that the whole "target is not in view" thing was cropping up so you can't mezz them...

I think it's only certain places and certain locs - though I'm sure some animists probably memorise them. But yes it's one of the most irritating crap bugs in the game.

Can't really ask animists not to use shrooms at all though (though I'd love it if they all did that ;) would be very sporting ;))

Have only seen it happen at towers with hibs defending. It happens alot in my experience where the animist is on balcony level and placing shrooms on ground level. Shrooms on the ground level are in clear view, no obstructions. You can target but cannot hit them. Wish I had taken some pics. Muyl went over to PB em but no damage. Its a bug that really sux.

Could not even fire arrows at em. Other players were trying stun, mezz, nuke and AOE. No one could damage them. The Shroomz of DOOM they were ;)

You can *sometimes* target them if you stand in exactly the right spot, which is usually right near them at an angle and then *sometimes* you can get lucky and not get target not in view messages. This is assuming you can stay alive long enough with the buggers nuking the hell out of you.

Still kinds stupid to have lumps of shrooms, at least 2 meters from the tower that have loss on everyone, but can not be hit by anything, not even by a pbaoe smack on top of em hitting only thin air and dropping dead 1 sec later from those exact shrooms.

I could believe that one places one shroom in a bit strange spot during the day while spraying shrooms around, but having like 5+ lumps of shrooms all around a tower, killing everyone while being ALL totally unhitable is HEAVY BUG ABUSE and people get banned for less tbh.

next time is rightnow time.

The bugs are there, we all know, stop abusing or get banned.

Nope, because I don't play any animists and I have never seen that bug. Anyway, surely the animists should rightnow it, not the players who dont get hit.

Not asking for a Animist nerf, asking for a bug to be fixed. Like Muyl states if ceratain Animists are using this bug as an advantage then then they deserve to get hit with the big ban stick.
