I had to show it ignored content to undstand your post, ballball. This knob is hardly worth the read. I put him in a soundproof room with Boozha, Prami, MW and Agrigis amd the world is a little brighter.
What about it only working while adjacent? Would be much harder to use and add counter play but that might not be a bad thing.
Cost of AP increase to 1 and cooldown of 1 to prevent on deploy bodyguard shenanigans. If that is still not enough then lower the range of bodyguard but I think we should take small steps.
Bodyguard is annoying, but tbf I only find it to be overly obnoxious on Death Guard and Nefari Guardian.
If Bodyguard is running the meta, can't every1 just put 1 to 2 stun options in there deck and call it a Kleenex? Does BG work if you're para or dis?
Wait, how does Harvester reduce it by that much? You mean if you're running Eater and get the globe, and if globes actually round ideally?
I was counting Globe. Due to Bodyguard and Short Lived its fair to assume it hasnt traveled far from your font which means you will likely get the globe. This is all assuming a Death Benefit deck which means a Harvester will be out. I havnt seen a Harvester in meta in forever.
Harvester makes for mediocre to even bad death ben after the changes to Harvest. Plus, running him with Dead Eater is a bit nutty -- Skirmisher keeps his cost down so you can get him out more smoothly, while Immortality means you just run the 1 and can always have him up. Dead Eater is straight win-more.
Plus in death ben you will be running the far more useful dusk creeper, which reduces the effectiveness of dead eater on other champs.
