Dude we are comparing RD to the older version of BC, which had the stealth mechanic. We are not even touching this shoeboxed version, because if we are comparing spells who can be predicted like this, you should really compare BC to Impervious. This post of yours bud: Im getting stressed with this conversation so Im out of this thread. Sorry if I dont reply further.
I prefer blizzard cloak mainly for its ability(like whispers of the mind) to trap melee champs for a kill. RD is very much better at keep things alive vs range (duh), but it doesnt have the additional benefit of directly transferring into death for an enemy melee unit that happened to engage.
@Pedeguerra You were referring to old Blizzard Cloak, possibly Ballballer. But Badgerale and BP were most definitely not talking in a past tense manner. This Blizzard Cloak isn't even shoeboxed...
No, just directely transferring into death the ranged champ you moved in to get the kill. But ok, to each his own. Compare it to Impervious.
If you're as good you as you claim to be, you wouldn't let your range champion die. I've never lost a ranged champ against IS because of an RD. But okay
I feel like that's quite a big exaggeration don't you? I would take prenerf blizzard cloak over impervious any day of the week
Of course. My comparison is: old Blizzard Cloak x RD. Cydna was comparing new Blizzard Cloak to RD and saying it isnt shoeboxed. I then asked him to compare new Blizzard Cloak to Impervious. Dude, please think about what you are saying. The only way to find out RD is up is by effectively attacking the champion, even if its only 1 attack. Obviously there are way to mitigate that, but I was referring to BB post because there are ways to mitigate deaths from melee who are engaging as well. Jeez.
@Pedeguerra While I have tried to account for it, it's likely my opinion is skewed because I play a melee heavy faction (though the deflect on high damage is bad too) - but it may be that your opinion is skewed by running a range heavy faction. I'll just say that blizzard cloak gives me much more trouble than RD.
I have many fond memories of SpiceyIcey running that Super Mosharn deck and blindly double(occasionally triple) tapping into RD with it.
Due to popular request.. (0 people but I wanted to sound cool) heres the lonx i've been playing with. Most of it built with the help of @JellyBerry just a few bits and pieces for my preference. UD damage with ST hp <3
I only ever have one out, but I pilfer/toss the darius to reset CD's and sometimes will with bone charm but it gives him vuln so he dies alot. gotta run 2! The stat buff/ap on equipment is great for one rounding Howlers are better than strikers with protective buff imo. Not even 1 facilitator? missing out there! Also 2x bonecharm it's like ST mini-avarice! Otherwise we are pretty similar
I didn't know Howler had Protective, i'll run x1 for now to test it out, but 1-4 range 17 damage Power Strikes are insane.
