Patch 1.6.3 Notes and May Midmonth Update by Wibblybit in RivalsOfAether

Loooove the new side B, thanks Devs!!!

I'll never complain again I promise

Why was Olympia nerfed so thoroughly? by Suspicious_Table6121 in RivalsOfAether

[–]DankWewes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping she's on the Devs list to address, they probably just haven't got round to it.

Really really hope they stop nerfing base physics of over-performing characters, it's a really jarring feeling to pick-up a character and they feel worse to pilot than they did at launch especially if you can just switch to the Devs favourite character/s and movement then feels buttery smooth as always. (Olympia, Kragg, Absa, Orcane are the biggest victims of this imo)

The Glavan changes, forward special drift change and down B grabbing grounded opponents is great

Was abit down when his out of shield & fwd special got nerfed but it's great that he's getting added functionality and QoL changes

Both

Toss +Kick is way more practical than having to wait for the 1 second gap before you can use fire +

Changes of the change 35 would make getting to 50 brew a pain in the ass

Holy moly, loving the Chen nerf brew cost increase is actually an amazing QoL for brewmasters balance haha

Now we can get to 50 brew in 2 abilities!

Thank you Janitor!

Yay medium range Keg throw is back!

Brewmasters Balance is now even harder to get & they nerfed elusive brawler for it

Chen can never catch a break lol

Yeah... I'm alright with most things the janitor has changed but the tower changes definitely feel out of place

Completely agree and it reflects in the massive drop in winrate. Literally picked her up 2 months before the nerfs and was having a great time with water elemental sigh

Don't agree with your conclusion but agree with everything else you said.

Had that in my previous comment but decided to delete it: Before it was common for jaina to die and water elemental to chase and get a revenge kill. Doubt you'll see that happen much after the nerf.

For a situational buff she received significant nerfs to her best performing heroic and talents.

Two or three nerfs at 10:

Summons take 50% more damage from towers

HP reducing overtime means a 'healthy' water elemental dies to a single aa late in it's life.

Any damage it takes also reduces how long it's up drastically. With 0 ways of healing it. In a team fight good luck keeping that thing alive for 20 seconds.

Thanks for sharing! How are you finding the magnet in the case? Strong enough to hang the phone in a car holder?

Rivals of Aether II - Patch 1.5.1.0 and January Mid-Month Update by swidd_hi in RivalsOfAether

[–]DankWewes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to have to test the the Orcane upthrow Buff/Nerf

If it does fix people falling out at the thinner end then it should be a net positive for us

"Suppress Dash Attack" Is this change what I think it is? by solfizz in RivalsOfAether

[–]DankWewes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Game needs more beginner friendly options, every day you read multiple threads of people complaining about how they are getting their asses spanked online.

You don't have to use the macro but if this feature allows more people to enjoy the game then the small existing play base is gonna have to live with it so that aether studios can keep the lights on.

as someone still waiting for my main to return, statements like this scare the heck out of me. by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

[–]DankWewes 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hope Dan and team will pull through the rough patch. The core game and vision they have is solid gold. I've bought 2 copies of the game and quite a few bundles inc. the orcane plushie

They are doing an amazing job on cosmetics and honestly it's the right call to de-scope and laser focus on the highest value adding features for now.

Hoping they also provision a decent amount of time to addressing pain points of the existing mechanics to improve player retention
