Chromie's E auto trigger

The new Chronic conditions ability triggering when an enemy walks into it really counters the purpose of chromie traps. the traps are primarily used for vision - if the traps are to be triggered they should be triggered on intended targets only including allied heroes. please remove this upcoming feature, or allow it to be triggered on/off.

Oh, so that’s why they’re shiny. Always thought they’re some misterious tool for nefarious plans.

Agreed. The best use is to freeze your allies, to give the poor enemies a few seconds to breath.

What if they reversed it; the enemies get a speed buff, so they get motion sickness, and the allies get slowed, so they take their time?

I think this is great! Traps used to always auto trigger by default until her redesign. Now it’s an optional talent. And if you want to use the traps for vision, you go for Andorhol Anomaly (that gives you 3 charges and half the cooldown). Those traps won’t auto-trigger. Also gives an actual reason to pick Chronic Conditions over the other two talents, so the row is finally balanced.

the reason to pick it over the others was to match the speed of the W. if timed properly out of a time trap the enemy would get centered by all 3 w’s. if they are full speed out of the time trap they are unable to get hit by all 3 center strikes.
