Splash potions?

[Nirahz]

So, a short while back, I was just idly thinking of new things to add to bedwars, like usual because I am a good developer! Anyway, I was wondering what the general opinion is on splash potions. I was thinking of making it like this:

You right-click on a potion in the shop, and it turns into the splash variant of it, that you can then buy. This does not come without drawbacks, however:

- The splash potion will have half the duration of the drinkable one
- The splash potion will cost 2 emeralds in solos/doubles and 3 emeralds in triples/quads

I personally think this is an item that could lead to some interesting strategies.


Some feedback I have already gotten:

"Why so many nerfs?"
Splash potions are, in most situations, better than regular potions. The nerfs I discussed previously are put in place to make them more on par with regular potions, not better.

"Wouldn't everyone just buy a regular potion with all these nerfs? What's the point?"
Most people would still buy a regular potion, I agree, but there are many uses where splash potions are superior and fun to use. I want to add splash potions due to the variety of interesting strategies you can use with them, for example:

- Rushing a base without pots, noticing they have blindness, quickly splashing jump and getting away.
- Not paying attention at mid, getting crit out, quickly splashing speed and comboing your enemy.
- Rushing a base while an enemy is chasing you, wasting no time drinking a pot and instead quickly splashing speed to get to the base faster.

And there's probably a lot more situations you can think of. I'd like to know your thoughts on this idea below, with valid feedback on why you do/don't like it.

Thanks!

Nirahz should this be in suggestions or no? Anyways I'm +1 for it

I like the sound of splash potions in Bedwars. This means that you and your teammates can have the same effects, yes, it would be shorter but I think time is something that I'm willing to risk so my team and I can get away and combo quick. And, drinking takes some time and time is something you won't always necessarily have, so pots would most definitely help with removing the factor of time. I would like to see this in-game, and this is a brilliant idea.

pros and cons, easy to use but it can be extremely overpowered, I’m neutral on this one.

Imo, if it's overpowered, well there's a new meta now.
I like the idea, but maybe add splash pots of other varieties such as slowness (10 seconds for 1 em) or smthing

 

[Nirahz]

to the people saying this is overpowered: what do you think about the nerfs? do they make it just as op, or should the item be nerfed further?

 

[Stxrs]

I really like this idea, looking forward for you to propose it soon

+1 Splash potions are indeed a good idea to add also at the same time try to add Invis potions or popup towers

WE’RE not adding invis or popup towers. If you want to play with them. Go play hypixel

 

[prokavinbest]

+1 splash potions are way better

-1 I dislike the idea of adding splash potions, I feel like it'd still be too overpowered even if you nerfed them, and I much more prefer drinkable pots.
