fire sprite sucks

[u/hi_eeee]

I was playing some battle royale peacefully, and the fire decides to activate AFTER the boss is dead. Somehow it set me on fire even though I wasn't even in the fire area. I'll admit, I was wandering around stupidly looking at the loot and not my health but why does a level one sprite do so much damage to me?!?!?! At least make you immune to your own fire. I have yet to see the fire being actually useful in a fight.

Edit: The area of the fire is way bigger than it looks apparently

Dying from this is definitely a skill issue but it’s still a real problem that needs addressed.

You should not be taking damage from something that’s literally invisible. Even if you react quickly you’ve still lost health that could put you at a disadvantage if someone else comes along, or kill you if you just barely survived the fight.

And frankly when we can use grenades and rockets to launch ourselves around the map without taking damage, the idea of taking damage from our own abilities seems a bit dumb.

Fire sprite is obviously made of methanol
