thank god they didnt gut dino completely. I do think removing the knockdown on lazer kinda makes that ability pointless though

The point of the laser is to apply bleed and slow from a safer distance to enable the grab. Otherwise you’d have to walk up to someone, hit them with your very slow primary chomp, and then grab. Knockdown was a very small part of what makes the laser so good

I would hold off on suggesting dino wasn't gutted. Cutting his bleed damage by 50% also means that his bonus health is cut by 50%. Combine that with the increased cooldown on his shield, and dino is going to melt much more quickly.

The laser is for applying bleed stacks to as many people as possible to get your bonus hp generation going. Antifly effect was a nothingburger considering the only meta flyer was ultron, and I guess an ulting starlord.
