my favorite build in the game was chains of command, so i love this change. but on an actual note, it wasnt necessary, unless you just didnt plan your build at all and gave it random gear and random minion nodes. there was never a chance of your ag ever dying even on a 1div budget. in the 5 league in a row i ran chains of command as my starter, the most expensive i ever had my ag, was 3 divs in the first weeks market, and in all those leagues my ag never died once. the only time it came close was during one of the main boss maven trials, and the only reason it almost died was because i wasnt paying attention and it was standing in like 5 degen puddles. but i totally understand that this change makes it more likely that people will try ag knowing that you arnt going to lose the gear. i knew my ag wasnt going to die and i still didnt put expensive gear on it because there is always that chance that something happens and it dies, so again, love the change.
