Ronin mid term patch extravaganza, let's whine about stuff. OMG LOCUST

56 nora Scythbill. More to come

rip sandspray

Knight got 6 spd, op
Eminent 3-5 because why the Firk not
Skeez Gen got stuff
DUNE WALKER IS BACK!
Rocket range too good
Morph got good stuff


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG LOCUST WHAT IS THIS?>!?!?!?!!>!@

 

Less exciting news :

Ready on Vinecreeper is cute and all but the major issue with it is not its incapacity to cap fonts (it's in SL, come on), it's everything else.
Bookburner lost Violent base over the fact that it saw zero play. Oh well, sweet discount.
Drak Hunter : might be early to tell and it may as well turn out to be super good but all I'm seeing right now is a pretty big nerf to Skeez Revolt
Angel : boohoo who cares

 

Draksar Hunter op.
Draksar Constrictor got a -2 nora discount, even more bugged op.
Draksar Morph may be coming back to her old opness.

 

backlash and drudgery additions to the toolkit I see.

Also very interested in Morph, looks fun to try.

 

Looks like they fixed auras counting as attacks, so constictor's no longer 2x auto

 

Looks like auras are cheaper. Hopefully Amped will get looked at so Homicidal Thug can be used again.

 

Oops, I haven't noticed it in the patch notes.

 

And Hunter is getting +7 nora at the very least, and that's without the cool stuff. Might still be good but I remain cautious.

 

Weee another Draksar with a whip >_>

Stats are ok, cost is eh (you probably don't want to keep U2 on Tormented). Punish+Terminus is cute. Take Prisoner is... ..a thing?

I dunno

 

Locust and dune walker ma bbs

Flagellation is Firking bonkers.

x2 with transfusion as well.

 

My immediate reaction was to trade my Experimental Warspirit in for a Draksar Morph. They were approximately the same value in PoxBox.

I think Mutation BGs will have a tough time with the cost increase on Charged abilities. Homicidal Thug is helped by Scrapper getting cheaper, but Psychic Amped is still too expensive.

 

lol

 

I mean flagellium. Also nevermind, no violent.

 

Dictate on High Marshall will synergize nicely too.

 

Still looks op as Firk.

 

Hunter is 62 nora with surge 1 and readiness.

 

I must be missing something.

Don't get me wrong, he looks good and is probably top3 in the new champs but I'm not seeing that op. If it had no cap maybe but as is it's perfectly reasonable.

Prisoner doesn't impress me either. If you're in range of a 15hp champ with the AP might as well kill it, unless said champ as a pretty good ability you can't pass but at best it's a ~15hp buffer. Which isn't bad but seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Yeah it's dumb,
-Constrictor
+Hunter

 

Take prisoner is meh, but entangle + envenom is really sexy, or punish with 3 range and ap gen pretty damn good imo. And his stats are better than Judge's.

 

More importantly, it creates a focus on ap reduction in draksars, which at least gives them SOME direction, instead of just "beat on things to build up dmg". Also, attack: electricity is sexy, and dumb as Firk.

Doctor no longer runnable - at least with charge 3. Morph does his job better, and has ranged attack: acid to boot.
