Discussion: Planar Disturbances Patch Notes

Source?

 

A lot of good changes in this patch, particularly the love shown to the fae and especially the faeguard.

 

Why did Marsh Gargantua lost trail:water w/o any nora reduction? This is a huge unnecessary nerf...

Edit: Actually it went down 5 nora... but still see this as a nerf and unnecessary change...

 

Colossal Boa got rekt. >.>

 

Notes:
Moog lost Trail Water and kept Plant Regeneration. He is well and truly dead.
Firk (Hunter: Soultapped) and Salaman (Arcblade) got taps. Fry is dead as a battlegroup theme.

Only think that got buffed was swift current. Overall impressions: Meh.

 

I think it looks pretty good for KF, actually. I am most excited to try out Timber Wolves again after its poor nerf a while ago. The change to Dreambox is one I've been wanting for a while (the relic now only steals a relic deployed from the runedock, a big change!). Fairy Trickster looks great now that she has two good debuffs (Hex and Pin Down). Wizard of Ways looks decent, too, with dual basic attacks now. Amareth's Lexicon will be useful still after the round of Hunter: X nerfs thanks to Deflect of Fairies.

Oh yeah, Arrowsinger's change isn't that big. It is a little cheaper and has Vulnerable instead of Defenseless (which will help her survive). I will miss Heart Strike on her though.

For the negatives, Rally the Herd only being -5 nora away from Quickening seems a bit much because of the race restriction. That spell is super strong, though, and we all knew it would be nerfed if Centaur became a thing. Also, Lifeshield (now Mystic Opposition) seems shoeboxed. That spell now protects a single champion from a single-target spell for 8 turns for 25 nora (the champion doesn't even heal if it triggers anymore). I wish that spell would refund part of its cost if 8 turns go by and the spell's effect wasn't triggered. It seems like you invest some nora upfront for a somewhat limited timespan of protection against a subset of spells for a single champion.

Overall, this patch was pretty good, I think.

 

I didn't even notice the loss of Earthbound. Nice!

 

Overall a good patch. I'm very pleased that a lot of percentage calculation go away in the patched abilities.

But...
There is a typo in Hunter Small?
Reclaim can still be used on your own summoned relic and get a lower CD!?
Why the nerf to Shatter Summoned?


P.S.: KF can die in UD fire...

 

The increase in AP cost alone would make it less abusable, but is still runnable. The main hit to Fry bgs was actually the loss of paralytic feedback on Shock Toad and loss of Fry on Murkwurm... Now there's only two really squishy frogs and a tortun with it... Nice way of killing a theme.

 

Yeah, it isn't a super tank anymore. It does do more damage now to small champions (+2) while being 5 nora cheaper. There is something to be said for its excellent HP:NORA ratio. It is an overall nerf to the champ, though.

 

You damn fast!

 

@Senshu Does the bundle come with 2 or 3 boxes?

 

Any reason behind Mika's buff other then zealotry? Like it wasn't a meta unit already right!?

 

The pedes changes <3

Dissappointed on the lack of tortun changes

Sandstriker changes <3

+1 on deploy gattling CD, ouch :c

 

Transfusion combo just got slightly better with enslave buff.

 

Creating a unique healing ability which is basically an undercosted Heal Mass 3 is not exactly what I call Consolidation of Abilities...
