    Rune of the day - Heretic Overlord!

    [​IMG]

    Once you are under the gaze of the Heretic Overlord, there is no escape.


    I've never seen this rune in play, is he that bad or are there just better alternatives? Let me know!

    1 - Which upgrades do you prefer running?
    2 - Do you think the upgrades are hard to pick between, or is it an easy choice?
    3 - How viable do you think this rune is currently?
    4 - What minor adjustment do you think would balance the rune, or is it fine as is?
    5 - What do you think of the flavour (art, text, sprite etc) of the rune?
    6 - Any other thoughts on the rune?

    Ive seen him played, but not more then once i think.
    1- would run him with Binding chains & Punish
    2- easy
    3- not at all, weighty on UD melee is just rude.
    4-
    change weighty for lumbering
    U1: change surge demon elf - Hinder Movement range 2-5
    U2 add: Dread
    5-Great
    6-Hope it gets altered some so it starts to get used more.

    I'm really glad this rune isnt run, there was a stage when every UD player ran it 2x - lead to many draw wins.

    That said, promotes the deep elf theme which is cool. The whole demon + elf thing is kinda clunky though.

    Was he nerfed or just fell out of favour?

    Yeh on the maps with a mid font and a side font, the ideal play would be to drop this guy for a side font to give their mid guy weighty, which would often times just win games.

    I think he didn't have weighty at this time? I'm not too sure tbh.

    I believe the maps got changed round to not be OP towards fast champs.

    Nerfed with weighty... and doomed to smell shoes for the times to come...

    Weighty shouldn't be that bad on him, especially considering the relocate stuff going on in demon elfs

    Yeah hes not shoebox by any means. He actually looks fairly strong. Just not really ran.

    Seems like he's situational - right map, right opponent champ to equip? Could be very good for the cost

    I would argue that "situational" in UD usually mean "you will not play it 90% of the time, so leave it alone", but each of us can have its own idea on the subject...
