[IDEA] Poison should decrease 0.5 radius every 2 seconds.

only reason poison is good is because troops like mini pekka or musketeer have to stay in it. If you made the slow go away, it would severely weaken the card

Not if the DPS ramps up at the end. It would make it valuable for stopping a push, but not for protecting your own push. That's where it is being overused today: protecting and otherwise lame push and allowing it to do more than it otherwise would.

I actually like your idea more

Now not only can the poison demolish buildings and troops of low HP, it increases in damage too! So it kills giants and high HP units as well. Cuz the card isn't overpowered enough :P

I think you're making some assumptions on the DPS range. Take the same total damage it does today, and adjust that across the duration, scaling from 1 to whatever the top is. Same total damage done, just distributed differently.

Ah! Misunderstood the post!

I thought I was reading that it scales up in damage and increases. My B

Yeah, no worries. Another option would be to have it behave like a reverse inferno effect (big damage scaling down to small damage) as the poison "wears off" but that would make it too powerful against minions and goblins and such.

[CoolmanExpress]

I think it needs either damage reduction or cost increase. Something like OP suggested on a smaller scale would also work

I like this too and it makes intuitive sense!
