Shatter pots

I'm not one to normally make posts like this, but these things are stupid. The original idea had some merit but they are just an abused item to troll now.

Think they should break way less potions and have a much greater cool down to curb the trolling with them.

Nah, they're alright, 1v1 it usually takes a lot of shatter pots(5+), at least without alchemy, to put a noticeable dent in someone's supply. Plus, trolling is fun.

Is that why people carry tons of potions on them now to compensate for being hit by these things?

If you can't kill someone with pots, maybe 1v1ing isn't for you.

Why don't they add a timer to shatter pots like they did novas. .5-1 second delay. So a stealther would have to show for a second before just throwing them and hiding again?

Also, what is the formula for how many pots they shatter? It does seem a bit excessive.

It's 30% of all potions including empty bottles. EP and/or Alchemy have no effect on Shatter Potions
Wow. Yeah, that is really dumb.

IMO it is counter active to pvp. If people get shattered a couple times in group fights, they will pull off - restock and then regroup.

1v1- no question majority leave to restock.

So, I am just not sure what devs were trying to accomplish with this pot. I'd love to hear what goes through their heads.
