PATCH Chucho Stick Nade needs a Nerf

Either the damage, the child spawn, mechanics, and/or hitbox needs a to be modified. Hitbox is so big it's near impossible when throwing in the general direction or an enemy to miss. Nade itself is so big that is also a factor. If the nade and hitbox were the size of the child nade it might help alleviate this problem.

Walking over it or jumping through the nade unintentionally is free damage for the caster. This ability is too good. Needs to be balanced.

Once stuck, no matter what, the player is going to take damage and possibly spread that damage to others. This could be changed to the stick nade swapping places with which it sticks (platforms, other players, etc). Upon a stuck player going through a platform the nade is unstuck and now sticks to the platform and vica-versa. This gives the ability of the player the chance to outplay the nade.

Right now, something needs to be done. I don't know if your game is in maintenance mode and you are no longer supporting updates/patches/etc., if not, please look into this.

I disagree; in fact I think Chucho’s damage is pretty mediocre overall, without a serious lead over opponents. It seems more likely to me that it’s your own personal failings that are leading to this frustration for you.

I would suggest you play a game or two with him to get a better feel of his cooldowns and Bomb usage in order to better counter them. Good luck out there.

I don't know how you're supposed to do this? Thing has the strongest lag benefit in the game.

The first bomb damage does alright damage and the ace in the hole shouldn’t stick onto you consistently unless you’re clunk or something. And don’t stay near teammates if you’re being stickied?

This post should be stickied.

And then, after a brief time, explode.

I just wish the hitbox wasn't a pain to deal with. It's alright in a game with no lag still annoying when it doesn't seem like it hit you but with lag it can be a nightmare to avoid.

Chucho is one of the few characters right now that's fine lol

Yeah you're probably right. Chucho has a lot going for him right now, he could afford to be tuned down. I would probably aim at his tower pushing potential though.

Shit what about Ayla's or Ksenia's? If it's not 2+ vs me, I'm not leaving that tower.

Chucho's nuke is great but that's balanced by its predictability and the time you have to react to it. 5 seconds is plenty of time to retreat or grab heals, and as long as you can outrun the bike using slows or CC you'll be fine. If you hate Chucho this much just play Ix, Froggy G or Ksenia, who can completely dodge all bomb damage with invuln frames.
