    Was the anti equip option in nid bgs.

    I get that he lost loyalty in the revamp. But can we get champ based equip removal back into nids somewhere please so I don't have to waste a rune spot on diamond mace.

    But i mean it already had it. So its not like it would just be handing it out, more like just giving back what was taken away

    I understand the concept of not handing things out to every theme. Allows for more design space and all.

    The revamp in general is taking me a lot more getting used to than I originally guessed it would but I have no real serious complaints, keep up the good work.

    Doesn't that advantage meta bg's relative to theme bg's? In other words, some/all themes will be missing detection/shatter. As a result, they will be unable to deal with certain types of decks whereas a meta deck will be able to overcome those weaknesses. I'm not saying that's the wrong decision, but it seems like it's a consequence of that design decision.

    We recently had this discussion on the ST forums when someone asked for more detection options. In my mind, every theme should have some form of detection/shatter that is appropriate for its playstyle. This includes pseudo detection/shatter like Abominable, Deafening Aura, Ooze Tap or Restrict.

    In other words, established themes should have detection/shatter options that are flavorful. This can take any form (champ/equip/relic/spell) so long as it makes sense within the theme.

    I run Pilfered Armory because I am an idiot clown. Also, taking someones Granite Bracers or throwing a Withering Fern onto the enemy feels pretty good, man.

    Diamond Mace is basically a spot removal spell, though.
    It has a few drawbacks, but you can't have everything.

    Vertical Push is another option, although it doesn't work that well for negative equips. It's great for those build up champs w/ a protective equip though--20 damage plus removing the equip and resetting the thirst/leech vitality/soul siphon/intensify/etc. Crush and Pilfered Armory are a bit too much of a tempo hit for a random benefit--although that's very SP-like.
