The Cannibal still needs some small adjustments
With Patch 8.0.0 The Cannibal received nice buffs. He is much better, but still I really would like to suggest some changes to add in upcoming Bug Fixes.
- His Acceleration Code needs to be changed. With base kit duration buff his acceleration is much heavier than before. Especially with Carburetor Tuning Guide and Chili Add-Ons.
- Many of his Add-Ons are useless or too weak and need some reworks / changes. (Tantrum Add-Ons, Chilis, Depth Gauge Rake, Shop Lubricant, The Grease, Long Guide Bar etc.)
- He still needs speed addons to compete.
Comments
The buffs just reduced his dependency on addons, but he's practically the same as pre-buff Bubba with Award Winning Chilli + Beast Marks:
I do have a question about this if someone wouldn't mind answering...
I know Bubba's behaviour and mechanics have always been rather unintuitive and weird... I do play Bubɓa but I haven't played him long enough to have a proper feel for how he has changed.
To my understanding with the buffs:
When it comes to this acceleration issue:
With regards to the add-ons, I'd be interested in what you'd change, particularly in relation to chilli's. I remember your previous Bubba suggestions for add-ons were pretty good, and I wonder how those might change with the new state Bubba is in?
Old Bubba at base kit could reach max speed after 1.2s (60% * 2s).
New Bubba at base can reach max speed after 1.5s (60% *2.5s).
So if you put even more Add-Ons to increase duration - the acceleration time also is increased. If you put both chilis - time required to reach max speed is increased from 1.5 to 1.71s.
2. He just starts from ~88% instead of 86.25% and ends at ~136.5%, but the acceleration time is the same - 1.5 seconds.
3. Yes it does.
Before Knife Scratches could increase speed by 2.64% (bcs 2% * 132.25%). They added 1.5% speed, so it's not even Knife Scratches.
I have some suggestions for Bubba.

Oh wow, yeah all of that is not what I would expect...
So you actually cover less distance while accelerating, the longer the duration of your sweep is.
AlAlso curious the 2%/3% on Knife Scratches and Beast Marks is one of the few speed values in this game that's multiplicative rather than additive.... that's where I was getting thrown off 😅
Why you do weird Bubba? xD
Thanks very much! Gives me much better insight into what going on
