Discussion: Patch Notes June 25th, 2015 Coalitions Midterm

Potato.

 

I kinda like the midterms format. LE alt versions is cool.
I cant decide if the new ST font bonus is broken or not but I kinda think it is because it lets them keep their ranged units safe.

 

God I love you @Sokolov. Kento buffs, glaive buffs, strig buffs; I have tears in my eyes.

 

Well this is definitely a good way to make collectors drain their wallets.

 

Yay, none of the runes I use got nerfed ^_^

Success!

 

Well, at least Vashal are costed correctly.

 

One line thoughts.

LE Alts is freakin sweet.

All AP -- zounds. Lets see how that works out.

I like this "New Abilities" section. That helps a lot.

Drunken Revel is going to be a bit nuts with the brews that constantly re-apply Intox. Sounds like a ton of free AP and Damage. Might need a change on that particular equipment to be more in line with the formatting on things like St. Semmir's.

Sapping Armor with the awesome and tasteful nerf!

Description update on Savage Armaments -- glorious.

Small nerf to Vitality: Creation, but the description looks more accurate, and that's what matters. It triggering on relics was weird anyway.

All the Boost changes! Woo. Going to be a very different game.

Wow, -7 nora to Vashal Ranger, that's a sizable buff.

"Name Change: Commander: Beast (was Boost: Construct)" -- typo?

Big cleanup buff to Boon of the Wind.
-------Really feels like this patch is smoothing out a lot of old oddities and problems, which is splendid.

Maxx nerf -- real champ triggers only. Eh, aight, remains pretty consistent with other stuff in Pox, at least.

More description updates! Oh my god this is heaven -- Backlash and Grant: Death Nova.
And Enduring Aura! Aight, you get the midterm money, just take it.

Train Shrine Exertion. =O So that's the fix for Bazaar. I like it. Pretty great buff, actually, and makes for more internal synergy with the rune -- Bazaar can supply the 1 AP necessary for activation. That's actually a really elegant change, kudos.

UNHOLY TOMB GOT CHANGED WAAAAAAAAAAA. ok.

(only gonna look at FW changes to runes)

Tomb Lord gets a huge cost cut, which is neat. Makes sense.

Spectral Emissary buff, taking Annex off base. Good, clean change.

HS gets punched in the gut -- good. +11 nora sounds like a start.

Elsari Votary now Commands all undead. Coolio.

Looks like Dusk got a manual mod. Understandable.

Small nerf to Lamia, putting Coven on base. Seems like a good change.

LOL -- Execution Order now grants Shrine Exertion. So much shrine pain, so much pain. That's glorious.

UT for -15 nora. 35 now. Aight, we'll see how it pans out. A nerf over all, but I think this was a good set of changes for a lot of reasons.

BCS getting reminder text upgrades.


Just a splendid patch. Need to look over other factions, but this was an excellent set of changes. Taps to some potential problems, light and subtle shifts to units, and an astoundingly clean transition into the new Boost mechanics. Serious props.

 

Boghopper Bull has been bullied

 

Rip interesting boosts, hi stupid necrohex/taint/etc boosts?
sapping armored font is lolz

 

"Savage Tundra Font bonus has been changed.
When an enemy champion enters this font deployment zone, it loses all AP."


Am i the only one that thinks this is a little much?
ST font campers 2015

 

That ST Font bonus is gunna be hell in certain cases

 

From what I've heard, we won't even have to Necro Hex for it... And anyway, that was already a thing with Sermon, not like that's new. Sermon was a risk at 2/1/5, I doubt Necro Hex/Boost for 0/0/5 is gonna do it.

 

Just use ur Nefari Guardians to contest. They got nerfed to allow them to enter unhindered.

 

lol

 

Nah mate , you know whats coming

Greater Pitspawn

• Default Cost to 105

 

Thank you for the Heretic Shackle change as well.

MAT losing SOB, so there's that. Probably for the best.

 

Like whenever Annex is in play.

 

This is a very good point...

Alright folks, time to load up on the cheap contestation relics.

Edit: Now there's actually a point to run Annex on Ambassadors -- you can split ST/FW and Bile Zombie anyone who tries to get in your fonts.

 

Sermon interaction is cool, cause it's on specific champs and has cd/movement clause. But with this new boost it seems we'll be just dumbslapping hex on 7trux and stuff.

 

I truely think ST meta will be ranged spam relying on fonts and things like Grumble Rock, Ancient Implications and Impeding Snow to make getting to them impossible.
