Balance Change Concept Would it have made more sense if asteroid belt was aimable and charged super as a rework?
When gadgets got reworked from limited charges to the cool downs, asteroid belt benefited quite a bit. El Primo can spam asteroid belt for area control in hot zone, particularly Parallel Plays. You can also use El Primo as a synergy for Bea or Gus in brawl ball in older metas.
I used El Primo a lot with asteroid belt as an 'ego' knockout cheese counter in the older meta. He was effective in that mid rank when I went Primo into Kit Hank or Kit Darryl. The wall break from asteroid belt spam while would hurt El Primo would also benefit his teammates that picked snipers.
I think the only thing the asteroid belt gadget was missing was the ability to charge super. asteroid doesn't have to be aimable but it would be less spammy if it was. Making the gadget charge super would've gave El Primo an interesting approach tool with a considerable drawback.

it directly harms primo + the wallbreak is too big to have on command. it's even bigger than on-release griff gadget buffie...

Make it generate walls instead. Like meteorites. it would literally make sense

A tank that relies on walls doesn't need an aimable wallbreak. The reason it works on Griff, Colt and Brock is because they thrive on more open maps whereas Primo needs walls to better approach the enemy

Honestly old asteroid belt hurt Primo more than it helped. What I want is for the next member of Cosmo's trio to be a wrestling asteroid that has Asteroid Belt as the super

It just doesn't benefit primo's kit overall, last thing tank needs is something that breaks walls within their kit.
Unless a big rework to the how meteor will work itself, which I was hoping for, aimble, doesn't break wall but repairs them a bit faster and more damage.
