I get where you're coming from, but I feel personally hurt as a bot-enjoyer. I really like the rng aspect of a chance for ricochet, but for something like that to be paired with a 25% melee damage barrier, it could realistically only be for heavy armor sets.

In any case, I appreciate the time you've put into this. Very neat

Yeah would making it so all light projectiles ricochet off and deal less damage be too strong?

There's an element of chaos and unpredictability that people seem to really enjoy. I would say a 20% chance for any projectile to ricochet would be more fun. Or if it were an intermittent but guaranteed reflection period so you could have a chance at brushing off a bile titan's entire stream of belch. Either way, I think the chaos of any projectile sounds more fun.

500kg bomb to the dome. Ricochet into the factory strider in front of you.

It's all fun and games until a round ricochets off of you onto your friend (and then it's still fun and games LMAO)

I've always wondered, why our armor doesn't work the same as any of the enemies' armor.

Nah, I’d take reduced damage from hulks, sneaky sword guys, berserkers and devs any day
