Ok. I feel like with the nerfs, it's started to become more like the Hydra.

If you go to that page, you'll see a lot of salt in the comments. People just don't like the feeling of hopelessness they get when they see Hydra missiles flying over the map to hit their bot straight on.

Sure. If you actually confront them, you'll be fine. But if you don't? They just get more and more aggravating.

That's the problem with Shocktrains. People don't like getting hit from 500 meters by a beam that bounces between teammates. People don't like instantly losing 50, 60 thousand health in a second, and then watching their teammates behind cover lose another 20.It's a very rage-inducing weapon to play against, and the fact that it used to be overpowered doesn't help its view in the community's eyes either.
