Just because you dropped it for Hunter doesn't mean it's not auto. Let's look at numbers shall we?

24 Magma Elemental
23 Superiority

Interesting banner/sheoul ratio uh?

Ya well a good pile of UD melee just got cheaper, and Corpse has shown he isn't afraid to pile on the melee dmg for UD last expansion, expect some sick melee this expansion. If i am wrong so be it. I also think that most of the UD players have not yet really explored the melee options well and they are better than we realize, as they are all still inlove with the hit n run range choices they have.

Thinks like the DEM with action pot and contanimate and multi attack and pummel, are fearsome just not used much.

We shall see though. I am optimistic for UD melee, infact I am scared. We already saw the relic.....I just hope they are smart enough to realize that melee in poxnora has become more then just raw dmg, block, dodge, charge are all HUGE parts of melee now.

Also the obelesk got a HUGE i mean HUGE buff IMHO, if you don't run a range spam UD deck.

Go take your annoying, selfish attitude of "my faction has shoebox champs so yours should have more of them" somewhere else. I also take it you don't know that the Imp is pretty much a legendary champ in UD, and it becoming shoeboxed is more devastating to faction flavor than just any other champ.

I feel for you... the faction bonus change is a bit ridiculous and they really need to adjust the change or a handful of champs.

Ya the mute, you ever try to see how the mute works out in FW vs everyone else? I can tell you it works like ass. The tether range is small you get AOE spammed, he himself is a rather poor melee in the first place, and you got no healing to keep him up like every other faction has it seems now adays ( UD maybe the exception on healing but they get to sac or ret stuff ). It is the same reason skeletons decks are useless, being stuck into a tether is just asking to get owned by AOE.

what a lot of people fail to realize is that it will always be something. so if they nerf fiorn (which I want them to do at this point just to stop the waaaaaaabulance from driving all over these forums) something else will be the bain of everyones existence and the nerf cries will never end. then the next thing you know, its your faction that is constantly under fire and then nerfed into oblivion .

I think the purpose is that Corpse is trying to put the factions back to their roots. UD's of course, was all about powerful, hard hitting melee fighters that you should rightfully be scared of in combat. Hence the range reduction, change to Obelisk, new relic and that mini-preview of a champ with Arrow Eater.

I like this, and I hope all the factions get back to their true roots.
