breaking Barrier Ward Focus

[jcyoung77]

Hello,
I think there should be a way to break your Barrier Wards focus without haveing to reset the turn waiting just like the Enchantress (you can change her direction and her focus is broken but she will not incurr more wait time). I suggest that if the unit that is being barriered changes direction then the focuse is broken. Currently, you have to actually move the unit. This may seem minor but I think it would be a good improvement.

Thanks

Hmm, can you think of a situation where this might be necessary?
Because i couldn't.

Only this extreme unlikely one: you just barriered your 30 HP assassin near your own LW. But next turn you want to zap it to be able to bomb and you absolutely can't move her to another space.
In all other scenarios i could think of, there is actually a "workaround" to that "imperfection" of the Barrier Ward.

Nonetheless, nice thinking!

Nah. The logic behind it would be if you're stuck in an energy shield and it's in one specific spot, then moving about inside that one spot doesn't do anything.
Next.

Or if you barrier ward is about to be attacked by a melee unit and it is at low hp, your barriered unit can't move because it is trapped in a corner of units, or poisoned trapped in shrubs.

Turn the barriered unit, it has the same effect as being able to undo the barrier without wait time.

I remember when the dragon came out and originally the Dragon Tyrant was able to break the shield, but Seed took out that feature considering the dragon was already tough enough.

Anyways, the b-ward isn't that tough.

actually this doesnt break the focus with the bw. it breaks chanty focus but not bw for some reason. but ya ive wished for this feature more than once when my bw was about to die.

Um, maybe the fact that the BW doesn't TURN might be why turning it doesn;t break the focus.....

No blud meant turn the barriered unit, not the barrier ward Jeffery. This actually is a valid point, as I've played a few games where I wish this was possible. My use of it would be, as I Beat Matthews stated, when I dont want someone to be able to hit my barrier ward, but I can't allow the barriered unit to gain a wait time by moving (or, alternatively, if I can't yet use the barriered unit again),

THis is an actual good idea, I can noe a few games where it would've "saved the day".
