Champs from Path~~~expansion that i never seen in game.

bloomwalker isn't used because its damage is terrible and the relic it drops is mediocre.
fae advocate isn't used because still life was over nerfed and because there are better options.
elsari tomb raider isn't used because vampyres are terrible and because the mercenary ability is terrible.
grintmaw flamehurler isn't used because grintmaw are bad and his abilities are mediocre at best.
speckled fesh has been used a bit for draw wins but its not that strong and sp worms isn't a deck.
utterdark leviathon doesn't really have a good deck to be played in and cost too much nora for what it does. fw/sl dragons don't work, soul feast decks don't work imo, and its not strong enough to be played in a mixed.
jellebrium have been really bad since I have been playing this game again and I have no idea what they are trying to do with this theme.

 

Advocate is bad because her main ability bubble is completely outclassed by bodyguard and costs all of her ap
Tomb raider would still be problematic because he has mercenary
Flamehurler actually isn't a terrible rune just has shitty art, grintmaws are actually still very good when used by a competent player.
Speckled fesh i agree is garbage
Leviathon i agree costs too much and soultap bg's have never really been a thing or buggy at best.
Some of the jellys are playable right now but the majority are terrible and overcosted with sand bags.
I agree about bloomwalker also.

 

Actually, I've seen Abhorrent used even as recently as today. They might feel a bit underwhelming, but they're not that bad.

Speckled Fesh (Nora Link) was my counter to UT (pre-change) and Mines when I tried out splits with SP. Also, I liked Drudgery on turns when I could attack and then drain stored AP to prevent a crushing counter-attack.


I've seen all of the other stuff mentioned, it's just that some of the bgs they belong to are not as commonly seen nowadays.

 

i recommend visiting my jelle thread please.

 

Speckled Fesh is actually pretty good, really situational, but still good.
Infestor is that kind of rune that players like @iPox uses to make some crazy breaking game stuff.

 

I mean or just make runes more thematic like you have been, and don't make some of them so lackluster. If you can't think of theme enablers without making them overpowered head over to the rune ideas and suggestions page.

 

No joke, there was a thread a while back -- or at least a post -- asking for more power creep. The current power of expansions seems totally fine. One thing that could help it, though, would be reducing patch frequency so that runes have longer to gestate in the public consciousness. People would then have time to work through a rune and think about where it could fit into a BG before it gets changed. (An underlying current in the community that dismisses concerted modification and long-term BG design make that less likely, but there you go.)

 

I use Chipped Boulder Monk. I just have not played in two weeks. (School) I use her for a relic counter and meat/beater role.

 

Boulder Monk is great, Seism is a very handy ability to have in a deck.

 

I reckon that if motion sensor was insanely powerful, and then maybe slightly harder to pull off (but with a loophole so we can be amazed at iPox more) it would be better than a normal-ish champ which is hard to use as it is.
