New item idea esp to counter mine spams

Due to the severe frost and tesla bolt nerf most yellow users stopped using them altogether and shifted to OB and dual nitros/TS. They definitely need more variety. Not to mention mines are currently getting out of hand. So I'm suggesting these new yellow items:
1. Wave bolt/blow gun/Wave blower - creates a small wave that sinks in underwater projectiles and pushes the enemies away.
• The wave will have a minimum range like Torpedoes to work. It will fade away after reaching the max range. The pushing power won't be too high. Radius similar to a Tesla shield. Slot points - 1.
• The wave will sink in and defuse every enemy mines and underwater projectiles like torpedoes in it's way.
• Stats after maxed training: CD- 12-16 seconds, Range- 14-16.
• Upgrading will increase it's pushing power, range or speed. Perks would increase it's speed, range or radius.
2. Whirlpool launcher - launches a bolt that forms a whirlpool slowly dragging the enemies to the center and sinks in underwater projectiles in an area.
• Mortar type item. Projectile speed similar to big berta. Radius similar to napalm or less.
• The affected area will sink in and defuse every enemy mines and underwater projectiles that goes through it and also may eliminate napalms.
• Stats after maxed training: CD- 15-17 seconds, Range- 20-25, Duration- 8-10 seconds.
• Upgrading will increase it's pulling power and/or duration. Perks would increase it's range or duration.
I just suggested the idea. Some balancing maybe needed. Sorry couldn't find a better name for them.
I have suggested this on the 'Battle bay: The Toobers' group on discord. If you like my suggestion then please help by voting on it there. T.i.a.

 

I don't get it...are u saying they could diffuse enemy mines or all mines? these items could be used in conjunction with mines, just "wave" em into ur mine or torp or napalm or big berty? unless u have written above that these will not be allowed to work? just confirming

 

Sorry I meant to say the wave will defuse every enemy mines and underwater projectiles till the maximum range and same with the whirlpool

 

I corrected it now

 

What would happen to boats caught in whirlpool? I feel they should have extreme reduced mobility if fighting against the whirlpool?

Never mind lol you covered enemies in the first line lol I just missed it

 

Too much , there's simple solution for this issue , with make a difference for friend and unfiend mines problem solved

Much more simple solution , avoid all mines at all cost , exception when you are confident those mines are your team possession

 

easier said than done tho

 

Indeed

 

Idea about making friendly and unfriendly mines to look different has been suggested numerous times already . If avoiding mines were that easy then mines wouldn't be this overused and not literally everyone would be complaining about it.
And most importantly my post doesn't provide the solution of mine spam ONLY but 2 complete new items for yellow users which is something they desperately need. Sure it may not be perfect and that is why I mentioned "some balancing may be needed".

 

Yep, upgrading would increase it's dragging power or duration
