So the first weapon that we get when playing Aneska is just awful (I literally don't remember the weapons name because it's so bad). Here are the list of problems that I have with it as its current patch:
1) It's lack of range makes it difficult to hit anything. I'm not saying that it should be a sniper weapon but with the rest of the issues that this weapon has, this might need to change.
2) Reload is deplorable even at lvl 15 quick fingers.
3) The time it takes for the mines to explode is too long.
Individually the issues aren't much of a problem, but because they are all present on this weapon, the weapon is bad.
Here are some ideas to buff her weapon:
Idea 1) Keep the weapon range, and explosion timer, but increase the reload speed at lvl 15 so it feels like she isn't even reloading (maybe a .1s delay on reloads, but you get the gist).
OR
Idea 2) Reload is the same. Make weapon semi auto. Shots have infinitely significant range that stops when it collides with an enemy, obstacle, or when the player releases shoot button. Shooting near the mine again causes it to increase in size, increasing overall damage of the mines while they are idle as well as their duration.
OR
Idea 3) Increase mines duration on the map, but when it damages an enemy with its aura, it explodes .7 seconds later.
