Hey bear with me here, what would you think about throwable bombs? Now im not saying all bombs, just a specific one. Maybe a new one, but it would have a moderate to quick charge time and a low damage and radius output but would be able to be, instead of placed after charge, be thrown instead. It would be useful for bombers to reach switches and such. It would also have a slight chance of stunning an enemy if they are in the bombs travel path before it lands. I try to make ideas that are not game breaking so please im open to all suggestions about if this is a good idea or not. Seeing as they are changing the Shard bombs style of play i would be interested in seeing a new ranged bomb idea. Thanks.

"It would be useful for bombers to reach switches and such."
Name one area where a bomber can't hit a switch.
Anyways, an easier, and probably less-hated way to put it, could be similar to the Gremlins' bombs. You know what I'm talking about. Those pesky bombers send out a few bombs at once, but they're all slow and moderate damage. However, they go into a specific area. The problem with that: You have 3 bombs. As it's been said, Pulsars are the closest you'll get.

Gremlin bomb
I'd be perfectly fine if it existed in that form. You throw it, if it hits them it can stun them, it spreads several bombs out, and then it has its own fuse and explodes.
There's no real particular reason to have it though other than to expand our arsenal. I personally have no problem hitting switches with shard bombs, but it would still be pretty nice to have a throwable bomb, if for nothing else for the sake of having fun.

well then....
Yeah, my thinking of this was based off of the old bomberman series where you could either kick or throw a bomb. But there are places that bombers can't reach switches. Thats why they put pots in the clockworks at those points on purpose. Also its a decent idea but i wanted it to be a bomb not a handgun, thats what the idea was about, thats what it will stay about. Also expanding the arsenal is still an ongoing idea as more and more community comments like these are put into play. Thats how OOO's finds out if an idea is good enough to be playtested and then put into the game. I personally would like to see this idea in action.
They are changing shard bombs because they have projectiles.
As always, the description of this overdone "grenade" is Pulsar.
