Discussion: Patch Notes September 9th, 2015

I hadnt noticed myself, but i play pretty casually and often dont keep track of a lot of things in game so it could easily go unnoticed by me, my brain is lazy. I guess its a good thing if it was costing nora and not even being applied some times. Shame it couldnt be fixed though rather than being removed. I quite liked the debuff, its unique.

 

I actually kind of like him as a 5-6 range unit. Poison does not have a ton of range. I think I would probably change one of the UP 1 options to Poison Cone 3 though. Drop Immunity to Electricity. Put Plant Regeneration 2 on base. Do something different with UP 1 but include poison cone. That would put him at a better spot, I think.

 

5-6 Range, 10 Damage, 6 Speed, Ponderous, Physical, no Poison DoT or attack? That isn't what poison needs. That isn't what ANYONE needs.

 

Way to miss the point, I guess.

 

i see u read what i wrote

Magearms dude!

Will it be coming back :,( like maybe with some code reworking? It was amazing and really helped make sand viable.

 

But really ... FS kinda never gets new toys in the patches ... At best Salaman, but that was related to the expansion ... Wow, Poison got rekt too ... Moog got nerfed a bit ... Dunno if dysproportionally ...

What happened with the Risen Grenadier? It appears to have gotten cheaper, which would be an appropriate and good thing. Maybe it didn't, though.

Did Bokor get cheaper? That would be appropriate aswell. Although I'm not sure even that saves him from being crap

Revolting Fentek got ruined, too? Well, goodbye, poison, was nice to have known you.

Twisted Emeerald ... Uh ... What does Twisted Essence actually do?

 

@Sokolov Lonx defender did not get a -5 Nora discount due to having secure fonts and is not listed on ST list of changes.

 

Torien was buffed, not nerfed.
Draksar Archer was slightly buffed too. You can run him at 67 nora with his cheapest build. For a lot of range. At that cost, it is arguably worth it to slap a Rage Band on it, because it can stay far back, covered by your very meaty frontline Draksar (which are getting increasingly more AP drain and CC).

 

Poison isn't batshit broken anymore. You might need to think about amping poison damage instead of mindlessly spamming poison traps and dropping auto win choking aura champs with 50+ hps and 6 range vulnerability auras. Foul Mushroom is still available.

 

And it is now single target and immobile only. Cheers for baby steps, I guess, if nuking from orbit is baby steps.

 

Yay for Barbarian Exemplar buff.

 

Choking aura was never meant to be mobile otherwise it would have been put on a champion about the same time as Foul Mushroom was created. It is spot vulnerability. Spot vulnerability is insanely powerful and should not be taken lightly. Spot vulnerability like choking aura is something that should be used for powerturns not splashed onto champs so they can carry it around the whole game enabling ez wins. When they introduced it on champs I did a double take and thought "this is so broken". No other faction had that. I knew this day would come and I welcome the changes they were needed.

 

... Were they. Let's see how much poison we will see in the near future.

 

We already weren't seeing much poison, tbh.

 

Well, I'd sign that, and more interesting mechanics would be nicer. Like, uh, maybe a Mireoak buff? :3 How do you like my redesign idea, anyway. I imagine it as more or less of a really slow turret-y thing that hits hard and spits out those fireflies now and then, but doesn't move a lot and isn't terribly flexible.
