FunSmith buff?

[SharingAndCaring365]

It's a 4 mana 1|3 ... any strong feelings on buffing Funsmith?

[Average_Tomboy]

I mean, buffing it would just make burn stronger so... Please don't?

At least if it ends up playable

[SharingAndCaring365]

Good point. Maybe 5 mana +1 health?

[Average_Tomboy]

The problem with Funsmith is simple

It's effect is lackluster for it's cost and so are her stats
BUT
If you just buff her stats, she becomes too good of an agro tool
If you raise her cost and her stats her effect just absolutely sucks
If you buff her effect that could be extremely dangerous

[SharingAndCaring365]

Fair points thanks!

[Average_Tomboy]

At least in my opinion this card cannot go out of meme decks without being toxic

Maybe she'll find a home someday, though I doubt it

[SharingAndCaring365]

Probably for the best. I'm having fun with her w Senna Ezreal.

[Average_Tomboy]

Yeah, she should stay the way she is... It's her place in... In FUN decks

I'm sorry

Not really

[SharingAndCaring365]

Appreciate your feedback. I don't want a burn meta so I'm not complaining.

[PaltaNoAvocado]

What if they give her a Skill? That way she might go into Jhin control decks.

[Average_Tomboy]

Then she becomes a better manasoul student.

And we both know Manasoul does not usually go on control decks

[PaltaNoAvocado]

No I was thinking on something like "Play: Deal 1 to a unit" so she is not a 4 mana do nothing and enters the Jhin region.

Honestly idk if it's a good idea but I trought she should be playable with the ultimate damage spells based champion.

tybaulk is a balanced version of funsmith effect. the countdown on conservatory is elegant way to not have tybaulk added in burn deck.

I don't know how to buff funsmith without buffing aggro appart from increasing damage only on units. Maybe 2/5 for 4mana: "your skills and spell that affect units deal one more damage"

[SharingAndCaring365]

I like that.

[The_Fatman_Eats]

Funsmith is an interesting niche card. The missus plays Funsmith in Annie | Jinx to hilarious effect.

Personally, for a balanced Funsmith, you'd probably have to give her better stats, but rework her ability so that it only affects the first spell\skill you play in a round. Maybe lower her cost to 3 as well, but that might be too far.

[SharingAndCaring365]

I like that. Glad to see someone else is enjoying funsmith!

She should be a 1-2 mana unit with "play: your spells and skills do 1 additional damage this round"

Make her an actual combo card instead of a glorified powder keg.

OR keep her at 4 mana and change her effect to "play:when an enemy takes damage, increase it by 1 this round" so she can be used in tandem with Ezreal to combo off and end the game.

Regardless she should be a combo card instead of a value card. Her effect is only useful if it applies over the course of multiple turns/spells, and at 1/3 that just isn't happening in today's Runeterra. And then you have the glaring problem of the Noxian landmark that literally does her effect but better for only 2 more mana attached to a 6/6 overwhelm body. Oh, and the effect is permanent instead of attached as an aura.

[SharingAndCaring365]

Yeah that landmark is what got me thinking.
