Towers take MUCH longer to develop and balance compared to heroes
Let's not go over any production pipeline stuff and discussion with other devs and all but not only do you need to think of the general concept first and make it unique you then have to go make the concept art to visualize it then make (i believe) 46 different 3d models (because of cross pathing) and then having to implement it in the game alongside having to balance all 3 paths + the cross pathing balance (and we know how poorly they do that) and it just a huge investment in general that I assume battles 2 devs just can't afford rn
On the other hand, heroes follow a more linear upgrade structure and having to make at most like 4+ models maybe and because of this it is much easier to balance it too so it takes less time to make these compared to towers
Even in BTD6 where they have much more resources it still takes them a long time to develop a new tower because of these factors and more so don't expect battles 2 to get any new towers anytime soon
we have the new druid of the jungle being absurd rn, you can get like 7 of those early with another defensive tower/decamo
we had ninja caltrop buffs on the top path tier 3 and 4 (although for tier 4 the damage buff was reverted)
we had imf loan being broken as hell then it got emergency nerfed

Why is this bad?

If they nerfed it, isn't that good?
caltrops on bloonjitsu dealt 10 DAMAGE AND HAD 6 PIERCE, that's 60 damage per caltrop, and it used to accept pierce buffs so its damage mid to lategame was Hella strong
I get that it takes a long time, but doing a quick search on the wiki all towers were released in late 2021, wich is 2,5 years ago (and still, if im not mistaken, most of those were just td battles 1 towers). It seems plenty of time to make ONE new tower, so i would guess they just dont want to do it. Tbh i would love to see new towers
Merging is a cute idea that just ends up being tedious, not only that it's the only tower where you go from a tier 2 to a tier 3 and sometimes straight up do worse (looking at you, top path). Sucks, because I like the paths a lot and the mechanic of locating the animals is fun.
Yeah agree honestly i wish NK would just go back to basics with towers and heroes, even rosalia which was meant to be a “simple” hero is way more complex than any other hero before geraldo what i like a lot about bloons is that in general its a super simple game at face value but has a lot of depth
why dont they add NEW TOWERS? Because they cant even balance OLD TOWERS and NEW HEROES. This game's developer section is too incompetent, lacks playtesters, does not take the community suggestions seriously, and cannot code the game properly
beast handler is cool and all but it has no real place in battles because it is way more complicated compared to the average tower, and is hard to balance, especially in competitive gameplay. we have the 3 jerichos in battles anyways

Oh, okay.

Adding bloonchipper would unironically revive the game. Aint gonna happen though.
man I really hope we don't get beast handler, my least favorite tower in btd6 by far

Well the only new tower that’s released in btd6 is beast handler and genuinely I do not think they know how to implement the tower
I'm glad they don't add a bunch of different towers. That would be too much.
I cope with the fact that Beast Handler has come after Paragons, and Pargons are not in the game yet.
They probably never will be too :)
We had a Geraldo plushie in the last game update video.
They should bring back Bloon Chipper. Tier 5, or Level 20 would work well for it. They can just change the way it works if needed.
Bloon chipper when?

I would love the animal guy from btd6. I love the Dino and the whale

Yeah I guess.. would still be cool though hahaha. I'm playing btd6 more anyway at the moment
lol me too. ranked system sucks ape balls im in ceramic when i should be in zomg/hom
