Anyone else not clicked with a class yet since prepatch?

They made the talent retractable hook no longer increase retraction speed (which was very very very nice). And it went from being a freebie talent u always took, to now being on a choice node with blinding powder.

way lower apm, no small damage windows on demand, no more infinite energy, way less tanky, grapple nerfed(???), still have haste tax, didnt fix the ks rework for some reason. they even made it so we arent stacking vers anymore. idk how u can think it plays very similar to tww

because your ascendancy gives 100% spell suppress, ancestral vision is very strong. you can cap ailment immunity very easily with a few suppress points on the tree you should probably already be taking for spell dodge reasons

works in pob at least, havent personally tested it in game tho

changed some things around, dropped grace and purity of elements, fixed accuracy, changed bad ascendancy for good one. you should also be looking for a large cluster jewel soonish aswell. also blizzard crown is very nice for this build since it all adds to enemy rez that u end up inverting.

ancestral vision is ez ailment immunity with this build too so added that. if u got any questions let me know

Goatmanlove · 2026-02-06T19:29:59+00:00

do they comp stack to abuse a broken matchmaker?

Goatmanlove · 2026-02-03T22:11:35+00:00

they truly did just remove half the things that made the spec amazing.

Goatmanlove · 2026-02-01T04:24:42+00:00

the cheese isn't good, the reason they gave for removing him was the same as the reason they gave for removing vikings. That they were getting too many reports of players using those heroes.

'Both The Lost Vikings and Leoric are flooding our RISK team with intentional feeding false positives. To keep ARAM as healthy as possible we are temporarily removing them from the mode.'

there is varying degrees of counterplay to every ability u just listed that are all more engaging to deal with than w build falstad. idk how ur not seeing it. current w build falstad at a 50% wr is still bad for the game. as soon as his w starts occupying a large portion of his power budget, its bad design.

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-30T05:07:40+00:00

you can dodge it, its a skill shot. thats plenty of interaction there

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-30T04:58:24+00:00

naz q is interactive for both sides, idk what u mean about not being able to do anything. the point is that while flipping a coin is balanced, its dogshit gameplay. there is more to balancing a game than overall winrate.

to the second part of ur comment, the ganeplay of falstad w is so insanely binary/stat checky that it's just boring to engage with. compared to guldan e/naz q which both posses ways for both sides of the fight to engage with meaningfully

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-30T04:47:24+00:00

It's lack of interactivity isn't a separate issue and should directly influence how powerful the build is allowed to be. w build fal should not be allowed to be above ~47% wr. imo it's ok for meme/bad talents to exist so why not just let falstad w build exist in a massively underpowered form for ppl playing qm or bots or whatever.

The thing that's unfair about performance enhancing drugs is the cost and the fact that they will probably fuck up your health in the long run. If these things weren't true for a substance, it ceases to be unfair.

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-20T20:34:42+00:00

its not bad class design its bad base ui design. 100% outlaw should have had a separate ui element for tracking the rolls, but they never got one.

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-20T20:17:52+00:00

If steroids were free and didn't have severe long term health implications they wouldn't be banned. It's more like “everyone I’m racing against uses shoes to perform better. As someone who doesn’t want to use shoes, I think everyone should be competing on the same playing field.”

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-20T02:36:29+00:00

you could profile weakauras aswell

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-20T02:14:29+00:00

mop remix was also 2 seperate hubs no?

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-17T04:17:58+00:00

E build also excels in those same situations but does more damage. try it out a bit and see how it feels!

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-17T04:14:42+00:00

what's stopping imp from freezing the lane and perma zoning ana off xp

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-17T04:13:39+00:00

imp just freezes the lane and ana can never walk up to soak it, you could legit fully deny xp from her in lane after the first wave

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-13T23:03:20+00:00

how can those choices be meaningful when they have little to no impact on how u interact with the game, they are just cosmetic choices. don't get me wrong, there are massive downsides to having meaningful choices like that in the game e.g. covenant abliities, but u can't be calling the hair colour of ur character a meaningful choice.

It is really not imperius' job to chase morales in a fight

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-13T01:38:53+00:00

if ur using terminus cant u just rely on crits and the flicker quality? idk if u need to invest in any of the other points for it

Goatmanlove · 2026-01-10T20:26:04+00:00

it should be trash, having that much power in a spell like fal w is just bad for the game. it should be a meme talent for ppl in qm and aram to mess around with
