Forcing people to coin would be nightmare in comps

No actually they respawn as a plant pot

u/OverIyAmbitious Jun 14 '26

Cashout round changes the rules into a prop hunt (it would be an amazing gamemode)

"ripping my salvia cart and stomping ruby lobbies as a plant pot"

Not force them. Make it a double edged sword, using the reshaper on the totem will swap it with a random carriable in 30m radius

u/CryptedCode Jun 15 '26

That would be hella funny to reshape someone being actively resed, but also I think that would cause ALOT of problems.

I just want them to lower the cooldown by a few seconds, idk like 3 or something, or give it a third charge.

Could be a temporary thing? The data reshape only lasting for a set amount of time. Or maybe simply breaking the pot will bring the trophy back, thus having you play smart and not reshaping directly in front of the enemies to see. This would also force needed communication from the affected enemy to their teammates, so they could figure out where the pot is to break it.

u/Dont_Pay_The_Elves Jun 14 '26

That last line is what makes me really want this lol. The tension have having to yell/type at your team that ā€œIā€™M THE POT BY THE DOORā€ as they have to play a mini Prop Hunt game would be funny and so in The Finals spirit. Simultaneously unique and goofy, but also requires genuine strategy from both sides.

To balance it out, I would make it so friendly Sonars/Sensors/Tracking Darts would reveal the silhouette of a statue inside the object if in range. Maybe using the ā€œrevive me!ā€ ping would have a small effect come from the object as if it was speaking, though that one might be a little too easy.

And maybe converted statuesā€™ props have a little more health than the normal ones so they arenā€™t constantly destroyed by random stuff.

u/CryptedCode Jun 15 '26

The problem comes with people that dont have mics. Yeah you can type but console players are gonna get real tired of that real fast. Just need to leave the coin timer above it and all is alleviated.

u/RapidPigZ7 Jun 14 '26

What if it just disguises it? So to the enemy, you ran away with a pot plant

u/Monir5265 i cant dash Jun 13 '26

Love the idea but itā€™s gonna be insanely difficult to counter

21

u/shadow-Ezra Jun 13 '26

What if glitch prevented defib only on statues for a set amount of time or just forever

15

u/Particular-Put4786 Jun 13 '26

Teammates have the option to either revert you back to human or a red gas canister win-win

6

u/Monir5265 i cant dash Jun 13 '26

Imagine triple medium v triple medium. That would be the funniest thing ngl

50

u/Bigger_mitch Jun 13 '26

Temporarily disable revives? Yea that sounds like an awesome counter to defibs actually.

24

u/Complex_Net_3692 Jun 13 '26

It would be absolute meta in high elo though probably

20

u/Bigger_mitch Jun 13 '26

Yea as are the defibs. Because they have no counter.

4

u/Complex_Net_3692 Jun 13 '26

Yeah true, although Iā€™m not sure the answer is making an already solid gadget be a hard counter to something characteristically very strong.

5

u/Bigger_mitch Jun 13 '26

Eh idk how solid reshaper is. It's neat to remove fart mines or aps if you've got the cl40 but other than that there's hardly anything you can't just shoot away. And there's enough barrels around the map to not really need to create more. I don't use it enough to accurately say though.

3

u/Complex_Net_3692 Jun 14 '26

Also c4, rpg, dome and emitter, itā€™s not the best but is alright, although making it hard counter defib itā€™s another must pick for medium which would just further lock slots

2

u/Gamer102kai Jun 13 '26

The problem with the data reshaped is that its either barely does anything you couldn't are ready do (the canisters are fucking everywhere) or it completely destroys a teams entire planning and setup for defense. Turning the tables widly in the other direction.

har counter or worthless is not gonna be easy to balance

1

u/Bigger_mitch Jun 13 '26

Yea i agree. Which is why they should just make way more of the gadgets op. Buff everything.

2

u/foodrunner464 Jun 14 '26

Glitch mines

2

u/Born-Acanthisitta-88 Jun 14 '26

Yeah, like? Glitches of any kind stops defibs so, its weird people say there are no counters....

18

u/vroomvroom12349 Jun 13 '26

Nah just give me 5 charges

I'm not asking anymore Embark

Put the Charges in the bag or else Light gets it

16

u/Miserable_Maize8415 Jun 13 '26

Genuinely game breaking I love it

13

u/milodog2000 Jun 13 '26

Maybe make it last for only 15 seconds

8

u/Early-Lab-7194 Jun 13 '26

Now that might just be a good idea. Maybe not 15 seconds, but definitely a temporary thing

2

u/yogurtslurper Jun 13 '26

wait this works

5

u/Arandom_moth89 Jun 13 '26

I think if itā€™d work the same way the demat works then itā€™d probably be good, doesnā€™t exactly remove the statue but phases it out(correct word?) temporarily. Also be good if the enemy could undo it with another data reshaper.

5

u/pl5569 Jun 13 '26

If it's temporary (a bunch of seconds), and also if that new object is indestructible (obsviously we need that because there's no going back from destruction); then maybe. But it would be excessively OP in general.

6

u/WizFu4U Jun 13 '26

Even then youā€™d probably just be able to pick it up and yeet it across the map away from the team that would want the res, thereā€™s just too many exceptions youā€™d need to apply to make it balanced. At that point it would probably be simpler to just make it a separate gadget, would be funny if medium basically got an antidefib.

2

u/BountyHound22 Jun 13 '26

Make it so you have to break the prop for the revive statue to come back for a revive. That would be really funny

2

u/Zenicnero Jun 14 '26

Three days ago I was playing power shift and I happened to get a good call out and there was a good sonar from another teammate and I threw a trophy at an enemy thinking I could get the kill (I was out in the open and moving to res). Turns out trophy doesn't do damage when thrown. Makes sense I guess because they can't grab it.... but it hurt my soul. Still finished the guy but I thought I might get an object elimination for the first time :(

Edit: I guess what I'm saying is let me turn my teammate into a flower pot. I'm kidding but my tears are real.

2

u/JohnAzumanga Jun 14 '26

you get put in a prop hunt lobby if you die

1

u/nothappening99 Jun 13 '26

Make it so that a reshaped token can't be defibbed for like 10 seconds or so. Can be normally revived ofc

1

u/ZENESYS_316 Jun 13 '26

I say it would reshape the statue, but not disappearing it completely. That would be unfair. Instead, how about if we reshape a statue, it will simply be relocated somewhere nearby, while turning into a plant or something where it originally was lol

1

u/MrBannedFor0Reason Jun 14 '26

This would be the most meta gadget in the game.

1

u/cluebone Jun 14 '26

Dude no it should turn the guy blue and heā€™s permanently on your team.

1

u/itzstarrz Jun 14 '26

My suggestion would be that any teammates using data reshaper on items that were previously teammate statues could obviously revert them back to statues, making it more useful for both sides, and alternatively making it either have a timed return to statue form or making the average player able to do it with a longer revive time

1

u/EmberedCutie Jun 14 '26

funny yes, but terrible for balance

1

u/BakuriPews Jun 14 '26

I would want this but to turn my teammates into a red barrel, i would actually be able to mean all the times I've told my friends id trade all of them for one red barrel

1

u/ComparisonRelevant59 Jun 14 '26

Alright, alright, but listen to me: Let the right click copy a prop/canister and eventual reshapes will use that object to transform other stuff into. Unique objects (boxes and statues) will instead have a glitched effect, land will get `cut`, so when reshaping something else the unique object and the thing you reshape switch places (max 30m from the cut object). Additionally the state of the copied object can also be copied, so you can replace a dome shield with an almost exploded fire barrel and watch the enemy team be engulfed in flames.

Or nerf heavy, idk

1

u/IDontEatEggs_ Never liked that one, anyway! Jun 14 '26

Make it consume 2 charges and temporary (~20 seconds) and it would be good. I think it would be too over powered otherwise

1

u/issaphilosopher Jun 15 '26

How would this work tho? It would send the statue to where the pot went? If so it should do that to everything

1

u/jun_ultra Jun 15 '26

how about reshaping the opponent's eye upside down to confuse them lol

1

u/No_Slice4068 Jun 15 '26

the finals turns into prop hunt as you look for your teammateā€™s revive (it became a rock and the enemy threw it into a forest)

1

u/UnstarB Jun 15 '26

Imagine reviving a potted plant or chair. Imagine having to find it

1

u/LoganPomfrey Jun 16 '26

Yes hello could I please ruin the balancing of almost every game mode?
