Patch Preview: Assorted Stuff

@Sokolov While we are at it. Since everything is getting caps now (which is pretty healthy for the overall balance of the game). How about giving a cap to Drunken Revel. This thing is insane +3 dmg and +1 AP and it's pretty easy to trigger it. Very similar ability to the salaman ingenuity pre nerf.

 

Buddy, you really need to step up your gameplay knowledge.
Like, actually playtesting things on hour long matches instead of just assuming whats up.
/facepalm

Edit: by no means I'm trying to say that Illuminate should stay as it was, because I think it was too strong, it was just a point being made.

 

You are right that, if you compared Illuminate to all nora gen abilities in Pox, that it would not be a main one in Pox. But if you compared Illuminate to all nora abilities in KF, that it was the main one for both Fairy and Elf themes, so you would be wrong.

 

I'm perfectly fine with the ability, but I was worried that empathy might have been affected without you saying anything about it. The first part of your statement reassures me that you were not planning on it.

My doubt of empathy getting changed without being stated arose from your previous statement of:

Reduce the decks ability to endlessly heal? Even though I'm new to this game, I have never seen someone look like they were endlessly healing with active healing abilities, ones that need AP to activate, like, Transfer life/ Heal Champion or Self/Heal Mass. On the other hand, passive healing abilities, ones that don't need AP to activate, like, Regeneration 1/2/3 and empathy would seem to give off the impression of endless healing. I might be wrong since I have not playtested my theory and I don't want to get accused of assuming.

 

I was kinda just running a basic aurora theme, (which now i wonder if its even meant to be a theme) so yeah it's probs a pretty big nerf to that. (though menalaus getting illuminate could help with that )

Finally you said it.

 

he's referring to decks like the SP meta, where you run a moga chef, mika, and g'hern sustainer and you just basically are able to heal all damage you take each and every turn cause theres just too much healing available

 

Healing changes are gonna backfire big time, only a few champs were healing too much and should have been dealt with individually. Another global nerf that will make 100 champs worse.

Also gonna make sl look like a god damn healing power house, look out regen ranks you will be nerfed next because nerfing all healing just buffed regen.

Please don't put the nerfed healing through and nerf runes like sustainer, and other similar power healing runes.

 

But you got me 4 (plus the 12 this well thought out post will generate) Likes...

 

The change in cool-downs based on rank is interesting. What are your opinions on changing ap costs based on rank?

 

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing game devs to make their ideas public before launch.

 

I was just giving you an advice man. If you say you watch/play enough games, then good for you and the game.
But as pragmatic as you are, i was assuming that you analyze things on paper a heck of a lot more than the actual interactions, which i feel is bad for pox.
But hey, just disregard the above if you think me not playing clouds my judgment on the issue.

Are you finally a meaninful player or should i continue skipping your posts?

 

As a scrub obsessed with Constructs, I am hella jelly. Where is Mason's RNG 3+ buff?

ARE YOU WITH THE TREES?!

 

are you?
