Caster LB gauge should only halve when manually cancelled

It's understandable that caster LB gauge is cut in half when manually cancelled, to prevent folks from threatening LB repeatedly over a flag, forcing the enemy team off of it.

However, it is completely nonsense that caster LB gauge is cut in half when you get slept while trying to cast it (or get stunned, etc.). Casters are already squishy as is, and are probably going to die shortly after having their LB interrupted. Do we really have to add insult to injury and blow up their LB gauge too? It's clear they aren't doing the thing that caused LB to get nerfed to begin with when this happens. Come on, SE.

This is especially annoying in Slaughter.

if it prevents the constant comet spam then hope it stays as it is lol

not the right time to ask for a buff for casters. :D

It is actually pretty fun sleep those casters that try lb ^^

Pretty much this.

We should not be deciding on buffs or nerfs based on one game mode, because preventing caster buffs just because of slaughter would leave them dry in secure. If anything the game mode should change, or the changes should be specific to that mode.

lol try getting a LB off as melee, between stuns, sleeps, moving from comet, lag and the person not actually being where you think they are. aint happening unless you get lucky in 72.

What he said. Balancing around what's kind of a lackluster, just-for-fun gametype is not a smart idea. If you want to make Adrenaline specifically the way OP describes then whatever, but keep Limit Break in Secure and WD the way it is. That crap needs the interrupt penalty.

Id also have to agree. BLM are not OP as a class.
The new game mode just sucks balls.

^ one of many threads on it.

I love how so many casters are making the same threads over and over and over again, Stop whining, you have it no where near as bad as the Melee do.
