    I brought the mind controlled rock, and it seems useless, you should maybe change the price for wet skin to 65 and mind controlled rock to 15 gems

    Most of the time it hit the ground before hitting the person and you have to stand above players for it to work perfectly.

    yeah its like heatseeking grenade launcher. they just fly directly on the infected, but if theres a wall they hit the wall. and at carnival final for example there spawn many SI at same time and the missile pick often very far away infected instead some which are nearer. maybe u can make the missiles a bit intelligenter^^

    True, but the missle is not so large so it has a good chance to hit a SI

    The rock is pretty big that is why it often his ground before hitting the target (If it hit walls ur aiming wrong as a tank

    Are you serious? I can incap bunch of players with my mind controlled rock. Maybe climb to the roof or any higher place and watch the magic of mind controlled rock.

    both of these abilities are complete bullshit. like red has said...get to a high ground, point in the sky and win.

    unless infected is under a roof they will get hit, same with survivors.

    i will be exploiting this shit to the fullest.

    my suggestions in chat a few weeks ago were;

    - limit the ammo so a person has to pick and choose his shots instead of just spamming it.

    - nerf the damage it does to infected so it takes more shots to kill them.

    What could happen, is make the mind-controlled rock/launcher a percentage chance to happen. I don't mean like 1%, or 5%, but like maybe 30% or something. That way it would be more balanced and the hard-earned perk would still have an awesome skill. 30% is just an example though. What do you guys think?

    That's not a bad idea...it will stop the simple pointing in the sky and spamming the fire button to win technique. Players wouldn't be able to count on the auto aim function so they would aim their shots more.

    I am not agree,

    Grenade launcher 50 bounty on versus 15 on coop is good. every seems good on servers
    Mind control rock is ok for me, it s not ofen that i miss a guy and if you look well, you will see that the rock does Aoe dmg so if you miss target, he still take dmg

    Probably, as wolf said, adding a working probability would work. And also, im adding a x10 damage towards the tank if the rock hits near him, that way it will start being dangerous for survivors and the tank. So, no more random throwing, tanks will have to be careful.
