Titanic Magazine improvements

[tayk33]

Hi, I find Titanic Mag to be a really low value item that I only buy in the super late game on a few specific heroes with low ammo count and that do not scale ammo in some way - particularly warden and maybe mirage. I think the issue is that it is really expensive for what it does and does not give valuable stats. I suggest lowering the price to 1250 while still building out of basic mag, and lowering the stats accordingly. This would make the item much more reasonable to buy.

Thanks

The issue is that ammo problems are practically non-existent in this game for most heroes, and the ones that struggle with ammo just pick up a cheaper tier 2 that solves ammo problems far better than titanic mag ever could. Making titanic mag 1750 (the price that every t2 that builds from a t1 costs) won't help it compete with active reload or quicksilver. Even melee charge is a better item if you're really struggling with ammo. Making it a tier 2 would actually weaken it, since it's current role (a really late stat stick that fills up a slot) would become weaker since it would provide t2 shop bonus and stats instead of t3.

I think they could just delete titanic mag, not mention it in the patch notes, and nobody would be the wiser for about a week. It's that awful.

I think the main issue is that there are better alternatives for gun builds that all add a bit of ammo individually. It's probably one of the "noob trap" items right now, though in lower levels of play (where people aren't that great at aiming) it seems to be alright.
If they took the -20% reload time from Sharpshooter and put it on TM, it might see more play as an alternative to Melee Charge or QSR.
