    Weird, I fixed it...
    I had started a reply to you, but closed thread and did some other stuff for awhile. Came back and tried to quote w@x and wound up with your name on it. My apologies.

    Out of curiosity, are you not using blast cannon because of sniper cannon conflicts in captain training?

    Nah I play speeder and just find that I like the bonus damage from splash. Also too lazy to switch over talents & id have to level up my blast cannon 30-40. Imo they are pretty equal in power now, but explosive should technically be better after all it is 2 slot points.

    Because for certain players it was nerfed to ground. See tpro playing speeder Any more? What about orpheus? They hardly play speeder anymore. Or out right quit the game.

    Same do u see my boat rock dbl. Ex cannon anymore? That was my defender build. Now it kills me from the cool down. I only use it 10 percent of time now.

    What did I have to replace 1700 damage with. A 1000 damage blast cannon.
    That's 600 damage less every time I fire that blast cannon.

    It' not just the cool down issue. It's what comes after. And having to learn new setups. Or buy lots n lot of epic chest. $

    I don't think we are ever going to get an explanation. By them ignoring, they are basically saying "f*** you, we can do what we want, you're still going to play anyway" to all of us who got affected.

    Calm down :)
    I agree that players deserve an explanation on why the decision was made, but because they haven't replied yet I wouldn't take that as "f*** you".
    I will highlight this to the devs to make sure they have seen it but just to emphasise I am just a regular player like you so cant speak on behalf of Rovio nor force them to answer :)

    Explosive cannon was too versatile in it's usage. It had great range, splash damage, high alpha and low-mediocre cooldown, so we had to decide which numbers to hit. We didn't want to take a way the feeling of a big burst of damage when you actually hit, so we decided to nerf the cd slightly.
