The warpstone seems to be teleporting the general without their minions in 3a. This seems to be a bug as generals are very weak solo. Please make the warpstone teleport general and their minions.
Warps are intended to not warp minions. We had several playtests where warps did warp minions with the General. As a result, the most effective strategy was to just warp on top of an unsuspecting Assassin. The cloud of minions is incredibly rude and was almost a sure kill.
While warps do not bring minions along for the ride, movement speed items do affect the movement speed of minions, which will cut down on the movement time the army needs to reach your new position.
What if there was a short arrival cooldown/stun? Can I bring my minions then?
On maps like mine, not having minions warp with you feels so broken. The tele ambush is an understandable concern though.
possible solution is to increase movement speed of minions on use for 5 seconds or seomthing. make this an additional favor item just for gens
An additional thought would be a minimum arrival distance from enemy Demigods. You still maintain your agility, but without the OMG IN YOUR FACE! surprise attacks.
Either way, I'm going to play a few rounds with this and see how I feel about it.
Actually, I like the "minimum safe distance from Demigods" idea. It certainly makes in-game sense that Demigods would be inherently protected from the obvious. Fine-tuning what that distance should be might be fiddly, but certainly within reason.
I do not think that the warpstone should move minions. This is because I use it as an escape tool. In a fight, when I find myself near death I teleport out, I don't want my minions going with me. I want them to stay where they are and keep beating on the person who brought me so near death.
Vunderhead seems to cover pretty much what else there is to say.
