"Powercreep sales." Quote from CorpsE Bring it I guess...although I thought Sok said he was ending powercreep?? I'm confused
it's not by far better than anything else in the game. It's just a new powerful mechanic. But it's notgoing to be one that is omg auto include in every BG like every SOE midterm was.
Can confirm, it's very powerful ability, but the rune is very expensive Nora wise, rationally I would expect no long-term play in top tier/meta BGs, but it will definitely suit certain styles in UD fairly well.
A number of older players are part of what is called The Council, this is basically a group of players who'm Sokolov and the developers use to screen upcoming ideas and balance changes and voice suggestions and opinions. As such the council is privy to certain facets of information , such as new rune design, before it becomes public to the rest of the community.
It doesn't really work like that anymore to be honest (not since I began witnessing it), everyone gets to post an opinion ( if they want to, only, no one is forced to comment on anything they don't care about/understand about). Most opinions if posted are heavily criticized by other councilers and Sok, so you can't just go " Buff pls/Nerf pls" ; Most requests will probably get denied ( rightfully so) if not on good reasoning. End of the day, Sok still releases what he intended to with *read* minor changes most of the time. So nothing really all that game changing. The General Discussion threads Soks open are more or less the exact same thing, with opinions more or less having the same weight to change.
Seeing as people are waving it around in front of peoples faces and it seems a bit smug and elitist... UD unique ability: Invoke: vothsair Crush AE5: Enemy champions take 10 phys damage and are shrunken for 3 turns. This is automatically triggered the 1st time this champ falls below 50% max hp.
Hahaha, logged in only to post this: yeah those days are gone. Macca is pretty idiotic at this point, most of the posts Ive seen from him these days are just about gloating how he is in the council and how he knows stuff that he cant share, but we shouldnt worry because the designs are obviously "in good hands". Hahaha, hilarious. But do please carry on, I was just back for this and now Im out. P.S: Bakki you are still the man. How are the kids? Have they put you in a retirement home yet? Hahah, just joking. Take it easy bud.
