Why do you think that elven ancestor needed to be changed? You have basically turned it into a completely different rune. May as well just release a new one, right? The only similarity between them now is the fact that it's a FK/ST unit with attack frost...

 

Because she is only ran in a super-buff bg... so yeah her role needed to be changed, she is too costly to justify running in any theme because she has no pay off

    • Lay Trap: Boulder 2 Lay a Boulder Trap on target adjacent space. For 8 turns, the next time an enemy champion enters that space, it takes 7 Physical Damage.
    • Lay Trap: Boulder 3 Lay a Boulder Trap on target adjacent space. For 8 turns, the next time an enemy champion enters that space, it takes 10 Physical Damage.

 

But you said it yourself, you can run her in a super-buff bg.
So she has a role.
Why does it need to be changed to something else?

 

Since when is a super-buff bg a proper theme in a strategy game...

 

and being a mass spell shield isnt a role...

 

• Base Abilities:
  • Attack: Physical This unit makes a Physical attack at its range. This is a basic attack.

  • 2 :
  • • Damage Shield: Physical 1 When this unit is attacked, if the attack is a close-combat attack, the attacking unit takes 2 Physical damage. This damage ignores DEF.
    • Damage Shield: Physical 2 When this unit is attacked, if the attack is a close-combat attack, the attacking unit takes 4 Physical damage. This damage ignores DEF.
    • Damage Shield: Physical 3 When this unit is attacked, if the attack is a close-combat attack, the attacking unit takes 6 Physical damage. This damage ignores DEF.

 

How would you define a proper theme?
Something that people run? I run it.
Something that wins? I have consistently won with it.
Something that the game seems to be designed with it's existence in mind? Well, the rune exists and so do the various spells and equipments used to make the bg work.

If you don't like the theme or the rune, that's up to you. But other people do. This rune works very well in this theme, so there is no reason to completely get rid of the rune and replace it with something else.
If you want that something else to exist, then make a new rune with that concept, but don't bulldoze over other useful runes to get it.

I think this is something you should consider for all of these "amends" that you are making.

 

Dude, stop trying to make this a wide scale issue... the rune is trash... you don't use it, you don't even consider it in any bg you make nor does it promote strategy the way its always been used.

 

The rune is not trash, I use it all the time:


So you are clearly undervaluing it.
The reason I am "trying to make this a wide scale issue" is because if you are wrong about this then it is perfectly reasonable that you are wrong about the other runes.
And that is an issue because you are not just changing or making amends to these runes, you are completely changing their stats, abilities and upgrade lines. Not minor changes.
As I said, if you want the new runes to exist, post them as new runes, do not bulldoze over other possibly good runes to get them.

 

Dude the fact that you should even be able to make those bgs literally summarizes how bad this game is and how much of a joke it is compared to similar games of the supposed genre. This is not how you are supposed to play a strategy game once again. Your logic behind why it shouldnt be change is not arguable because it should never exist in the first place.

 

Ok let me try this.

No, you're stupid, everything you said is wrong, because you're dumb and I'm right so anything you said doesn't matter because nobody listens to dumb people around here.
