Known bug, if you use timered ability and then try to switch bg, then it says you cannot use it for <insert-your-timer here>

Bodyguard is once every, urm (boot up VoS) (fuck not at all helpful) i think its a 5 min timer - could be increadibly wrong. but might just have been luck they had the same lenght of time on them.



Afaik - there is a timer so u cant just keep switching bodyguard.

(i could be horrendously wrong on that)

You are wrong.. you can switch Bodyguard whenever you wants usually.

Is bodyguard getting a timer in 1.68?

Is bodyguard getting a timer in 1.68?

heard rumors that it would get a 15min timer.. havent looked it up yet tho cba

 

[Bracken]

No timer at the moment, and no timer changes in 1.68 or 1.69...so its ok for a while

You can change bodyguard when mezzed...but as Sko says some timered abilities do interfere with it. I believe camouflage is another one.

I must say BG is a bit overpowered as it is atm. Batdie and me almost took down a FG at atk. Probaly a lot of soloers.
Imo a little nerf would be ok(ie short timer).

i thought everyone knew it was bugged? that's why its so popular...

Sshhhh it's only overpowered if they don't figure out who the bodyguard is

 

[Chronictank]

or if there are 2 of them ;-)

am i wrong or doesnt it show in the text box who is bodyguard ?

if so you have to be blind to not figure it out.

One nice example I have is this.. I was at amg, think it was 3-4fg mids at the wall and in the room.. 3-4fg+ albs rushed threw amg.

One armsman starts to beat on our healer so I rush there and puts bodyguard on the healer. Then the armsman just stands there trying to hit the healer for another 10-15sec before he dies

It does show who it is...but it's funny atm how many don't work out what is going on

Still, a 30 sec timer would would make BG a bit more balanced imo

All BG tanks are prime targets now :-\
