...whoever tried Fading Recollection to steal an equip or spell ability with Gobling Thievery, and failed miserably... The thread was meant for anyone to comment some idea that worked wonderful in your mind, but ended up not working as expected.
You could remove all base and upgrade abilities, and then give another one from an equipment or spell, and steal that with 100% chance. At least, on paper, since it doesn't work heh...
My silly moves were being Antagonized and trying to relly on CounterAttack to kill another champ.. but antagonize counters it :c
If that were a notable mistake of mine, then I'd be really happy. Because then I might actually be decent enough that making mistake would be worth mentioning XD.
Ha! I'ts not a notable mistake but I though it would be fun to share the failed enthusiasm and see where others have failed.
Had spare mana, so just used inhibit power because it's generally good. In doing so I completely forgot that it hits my champs too, and lost 2 kills that round because of it.
It's a great point man. This would be solved by adding a "basic and upgrade abilities only" clause, but to be honest, it's so damn situational that I guess it's not even worth the effort. Not to mention it would make the text even heavier.
I thought about it too but after experimenting with Goblin Thievery, it didn't seem to steal abilities from equipment ever for me so I gave up on that idea pretty early on... Sort of related... I have thought about trying Fading Recollection on my own champion (still trying to find champion with great stats that has negative abilities to get rid of).
Use it on Max for lols. Caine used to use FR on Max back when he had 30 damage to go on a killing spree.
Yeah like "What champion is it? Oh right..." Thanks for the reference. I believe you can't go further in that strategy than bypassing Lumbering champions with Flying abilities.
There are a couple other stationary champions but it seems base stats aren't too interesting... Back to original idea... I wonder if Fading Recollection then spell to grant opposing champion ability would work any better...
I guess you must have tried it since it was mentioned in original post but is there a bug here? What was most shocking/surprising to me is even though Fading Recollection supposed to make "[t]arget champion permanently losses all base and upgrade abilities that are not basic attacks"... what was stolen was the supposedly lost abilities??? Since Goblin Thievery is supposed to steal random non-basic attack abilities, I would think it should steal nothing after Fading Recollection or one of the abilities gain through equipment or spell after Fading Recollection.
Gobling Thievery is coded in such a way that it doesn't matter what abilities the champion currently has, ot read abilities from it's original stats, like a clone reads from the original copy without measuing any stat change.
