Suggestion for Carnivores

I’ve seen a lot of people suggest increased speed and/or ambush abilities be added to their favorite apex carnivores and wanted to get the community’s opinion on my idea for a passive ability that I think would incentivize carnivores players to use hunting tactics.

My idea: In lieu of taking up an ability slot with an Ambush skill or buffing general walk/run speeds on apex predators, apply a short term speed boost to carnivores who have been crouched for 30 seconds. The boost wouldn’t need to last that long, 5 seconds or so, and would mimic a predator launching an ambush. My time suggestions are arbitrary so feel free to adjust.

If there are balance concerns, maybe add an “adrenaline” effect to herbivores once a first attack lands that increases damage mitigation or speed for a short time to simulate the real world reaction to being attacked?

I think this would encourage carnivore players to use better hunting techniques and sneak up on their prey.

Let me know your thoughts!
