Issue:
The line of sight thingy on sun ray severely cripples Apollo players because once the projectile dispawns and the line of sight bonus is gone, then units that are standing near it, particularly melee units, will have 0 line of sight. You cannot even cast a god power around your own units!
Researching this upgrade is essentially self sabotage.
Trigger Event:
Apollo sun ray upgrade
Repro Steps:
- Spin up a bot stomp (preferably on higher difficulty to have some fights)
- Play Zeus or Hades
- Age 3 with Apollo, research sun ray
- Observe how your units and buildings lose their line of sight after sun ray projectiles fade out.
- This isn’t a 100% percent occurrence on every projectile but if you play long enough you will see it. Try massing archers to get it rolling
I think units which have both ranged and melee attacks get affected by this the most (i.e. melee heroes attacking flying units). Buildings are also not immune (boiling oil which adds a melee attack).
PS: I think a similar effect is with Loki eyes in the forest upgrade, although less often.
