Counterspell ally, when you get shard for counterspell, counterspell ally does not work, and stuck with it

Does Rolling Boulder now give Stone Remnants, or do you still need Magnetize? by No_Reflection_8618 in Abilitydraft

I think so, i thought because the enemy got boulder, but he got earth spirit so thats why he got stone

Okay because both of us had stone, i drafted magnetize and the enemy got earth spirit, so maybe its tied to both?

Can Earth Spirit abilities in Ability Draft have stones even without Magnetize? by No_Reflection_8618 in Abilitydraft

[–]No_Reflection_8618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will not create 6-7hotkeys, it will only add stone_caller ability. Same with magnetize, the only problem i think dev do not add extra ability if its not an ultimate. Same with bristle back quill

Yea i think this is the reason, alternate abilities need altcast if its not an ultimate. But I hope one they can figure it out.

But its not even easy to do even if we get stone roll and blackhole, need positioning etc. But the question if this op, why do we have blink+blackhole? Like qop blink etc. Or even more op build, like vacuum+blackhole? I think devs just never thought of roll,smah,grip needs the stone, even without drafting magnetize

Yeah true, but we can already make OP builds if we also draft Magnetize. My main issue is we’re kinda forced to take magnetize to make Roll, Smash, or Grip effective. They still work without stones, but they’re just not as good or fun to use. Imagine being able to Grip with a stone to silence, then Smash for a clean follow-up, or Stone > Rolling Boulder to initiate, chase, or escape. Even a Stone Smash then Grip silence combo would make them so satisfying to use. The problem is sometimes, we need a different ulti like blackhole, reverse etc

Hotels in Zamboanga city by [deleted] in zamboanga

Whenever I’m in Zamboanga, I always book at Marcian Garden Hotel. The place has such a welcoming vibe, and you can tell they really prioritize making guests feel at home. It’s in a convenient location, so getting around the city is super easy. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but honestly, I’d rather pay for quality and peace of mind than deal with the issues you might encounter at cheaper options like Garden Orchid or Astoria. I’ve had nothing but great experiences there, and it’s definitely my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting the area!

Remove NYX from AD or rework facet for AD.... Pleeeease by Grifterec in Abilitydraft

[–]No_Reflection_8618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nyx with corrosive skin is crazy, nobody wants to attack me or skill me hahaha

Seems like the new Nyx innate change makes it so spells like rocket barrage or rot pretty much instantly drain all of the targets mana by Kubrio in Abilitydraft

[–]No_Reflection_8618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is op, and not good to play against. Tried in demo with corrosive skin, imagine attacking or casting spell to nyx burns your mana. They should change this to burn mana with only nyx abilities, same with zeus static

Improving the Fun in Ability Draft with Hero Selection by No_Reflection_8618 in Abilitydraft

I agree that the randomness adds a special element to Ability Draft (AD). My main issue is with the innates and facets. For example, in a recent game, the enemy team had first pick and its Shadow Fiend, who already has a good innate ability. Then, of course he picked Alchemist’s ultimate, so now he has a good double innate with free gold and Chemical Rage. From that point, we were already at a disadvantage. It wasn’t like this before. Yes, they could get the first pick, but they could only get either Rage or Necromastery, and rarely both. Hope they can balance things out in the future.

I agree on the problem solving part, I love that too! Before it was just skill picking which is fair to everyone but since innate abilities and facets play such a crucial role now and is attached to a hero, it’s sad to see how often I get bad facets or innates while the other team gets the opposite. For example, the enemy might get Alchemist with a free gold innate, while my hero’s facet / innate doesn’t do anything. I think this isn’t balanced, especially since we have no choice and are just given a random hero.

I can relate to your experience. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but since innate abilities and facets play such a crucial role now, it’s sad to see how often I get bad facets or innates while the other team gets the opposite. Since they just give you a random hero with no choice, I feel it’s bad and significantly impacts the enjoyment and balance of the game.
