Ok, so I know 2x2s have been bugged since like forever. But I figured I'd post this anyway. Since Blade of the Snake only works on melee attacks (or close-combat attacks to be precise), you currently have to position a large champ equipped with it in a very specific way for it to work. Fix please :3 Also, while this part doesn't really belong in this section of the forum it might be a way to fix the problem. Change Blade of the Snake's effect to: "This champion does +7 damage to champions engaged to this champion on attacks. [And then the 5hp loss]" Maybe?
Could be, but then there will be problems with movility/incorporeal champions I think. Changing the attack range of the champion to 1 could help, but will mean a less strategic choice (if this means a nora reduction of the spell/item will be fine for me).
These types of equipment will be changing to give the buff to a champion with MAX RNG of 2 or less, so it should get around these issues.
