Charges not affacted by cd reduction

CDR does not work on abilities with charges already prepared.

 

This is because if it does, then all charges can have their CD's tick simultaneously-- e.g. you're Rancor and drop 3 nukes, at 30:00, 30:02, and 30:04. At 30:20, you'll get a nuke. At 30:22, you'll get another nuke. At 30:24, you'll get another nuke... And this is without any actual CDR.

 

For an in-game example; again with Rancor's nukes:

You drop a nuke at 30:00, 30:02, and 30:04. You have, in terms of CDR, Prodigy and a Blue Gene [+22%]. Because your nukes started charging up at the 30:00 and it's 30:04; you have 16 seconds left on your cooldown. However, since you have no charges already prepared, your CDR will affect it-- reducing the time from 16 to ~13 seconds.

However, once you get the first nuke, the next one has the fixed 20-second cooldown because you already have a nuke.

Thanks Eliwan. So I guess a unix with a lot of cooldown items could spam a ton of marines quite fast so long as he makes sure he keeps spamming them 1 by 1 after he dumps the first 8. Hummmmm......

 

exactly opposite man.

 

CDR -only- works when there are ZERO charges, after that the CD is fixed rate

 

failed at reading comprehension. my apologies.

Is what he said:

Unix cast IF 8 times, dumps all charges, cd reduction applies to the current cd (first one or charge 0) and he then uses it right away, so the next cd is also affected by cd reduction.

Is there any idea behind why it working this way? Every charge should be affected by cd reduction. And not simultaneously, but one after another. Its hard to implement or what?

afaik it was just that Ekcolnovkol decided to not mess with it just yet, and all the heroes with charge-based abilities [except for Molgloo and Vorpal] have had their CDs reduced to make up for this issue already. :P
