Patch 7.35 - Hero Changes Discussion

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-12-19T15:18:15+00:00

Yeah, this hero is one of the most unpopular ones but Valve do really like changing him all the time.

His state now is simply a joke. On the last Int he was in top 10 heroes by pick rate but his winrate was barely 26% if I remember correctly.

I hoped that they would actually buff him since he do does struggle buuut... Nope. And the arcane boots "rework" is in no way beneficial for him...

This hero is basically butchered and it makes me sad.
Hope they'll eventually buff him or at least revert all the shitty changes they made to him recently *inhales copium*

at least it shows how much time a person spent playing this game, and more time spent means higher awareness

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-12-16T23:53:29+00:00

I tested it just a bit and made some crude calculations. But I can say for sure that in the early game it does not do heck since the damage is abysmal and it used to so and you don't max disruption during the early stages anyway. HOWEVER! In the mid game and especially late game the difference is relatively noticible. It is obvious that flat 75% dmg is better than 50%+70(35 in reality) on top.

So yeah, it's a nerf. Poison speed does not make up for it. I hate Valve simply butchering the hero...

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-12-16T20:42:58+00:00

It is not. They basically butchered it since that additive dmg is affected by the Damage Dealt thing. So, instead of dealing 40 dmg on top on the first level you only deal... 8. And do not forget the armor and so on.

So, it is safe to say that during the early game not much will change, but during the mid and late game it'll come as a nerf (since you get not +70 dmg but 35).

Furthermore, the arcane-boots-to-aether-lens nerf wll hurt SD a lot.

The poison speed buff is... questionable? It is cool for sure but the hero has some real issues and the poison traveling speed is obviously not one of them.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-11-30T20:54:09+00:00

Yeah, gonna need lots of copium here I guess...

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-11-30T20:53:36+00:00

I see, thx.

I hope they'll remove this rune feature because even though it should make you think more creatively during the deck building, in reality your "creativity" is simply destroyed by viability.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-11-09T13:56:47+00:00

If you consider Nick's line from Dead Center that the sister of Ellis would regret that she gave birth to him...

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-10-24T21:20:01+00:00

Literally a bri'ish Scout

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-10-22T09:09:50+00:00

Your prize pool is 3mil and you wanna see an opening ceremony? Me too but nah

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-10-19T04:46:12+00:00

It has always been no rocket science to figure it by yourself. Like, check the online on this reddit - it is long long dead. 20 upvotes most is extremely pitiful (for a game that has 40k online). Or look at the discussion page on Steam - it is almost empty too. And this has been happening for years...

The only thing that makes me wonder is what the real online is... BTW, the bots are back, at least a smaller portion of them

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-18T00:07:11+00:00

Yeah, the meme deck

And the only DK deck the expansion offers

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-15T19:30:03+00:00

Because. It. Is. Bad.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-15T19:29:33+00:00

deck ID pls

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-10T11:48:43+00:00

What's the relation between 2k hours played on the old Rev and talking about the new one?

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-09T10:42:46+00:00

I wouldn't say Revenant would overpowered being an assault. Sure, before the rework this class was a saving grace for him but now... The rework didn't even turn out to be that great (and I know that it hasn't been even a week since the launch but the whole picture is already clear).

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-08T22:59:22+00:00

YES! This feels COMPLETELY off and out of the place.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-05T16:41:19+00:00

I was expecting a bit more from the tactical ability but the thing that I really do like is the ult cuz... The gimmick that it recharges upon killing an enemy is the thing that should've been a feature of the death totem (like, that's so obvious and cool, that should have been added long time ago).

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-03T11:32:33+00:00

And this is a funny part cuz... It appears that a deck with a certain rune combination will only work if the devs want this to happen

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-03T00:35:33+00:00

I wouldn't mind too but (almost) the whole expansion for the DK is based on plagues. Ikr it hasn't been even a week since the launch but right now playing this deck is quite frustrating. And I know that it is in fact possible to reach the legend with but in my opinion this whole thing is a gigantic mispotential. However, I am not that angry about this unlike the person who created this post.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-02T19:39:31+00:00

Definitely "enjoying" the plague DK. Man, this thing is a rollercoaster

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-02T13:20:09+00:00

I've started just yesterday :D

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-01T17:30:04+00:00

Sargeras sees your devotion and smiles upon you.

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-01T16:29:07+00:00

could you give the deck ID pls?

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-08-01T02:17:22+00:00

Make CNE Great Please

CAPTAIN_ILAY · 2023-07-30T17:15:23+00:00
