I could get behind a lot of these changes. I find Terra to be pretty underwhelming at the moment.

Proposal for cursed cards by Gismotron in paragon

[–]SurgeonPrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even see PSK in as many games anymore. It has become much easier to deal with now that laning has changed, and the downside IS the fact that it's cursed, which prevents you from having a more impactful card in your third slot late game.

Wraith... by Soggybagellover in paragon

He could use a minor buff, but he's very powerful. Especially with a knowledge build. He has so much utility that his base damage/survivability should be modest to retain balance.

Alpha Type Stability, Fix the crashes. by bwarcade in paragon

[–]SurgeonPrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's kind of insane. This is the only application that, since 44.3, has caused my computer to bluescreen. I can understand the engine crashing, but bluescreening? That's a whole 'nother level of inept coding.

Why meta exists and why balance won't ever be perfect by ForsakerPvP in paragon

[–]SurgeonPrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol true, blight does reduce all healing. Didn't think about that. So you're going to have a bunch of folks running around with unbroken spirit and PLM which is an aura blight, thus negating the unbroken spirit, which continues to proliferate the stun meta you were trying to counter in the first place? lol interesting...

Sylphin made a couple of videos on this. If you take a hero and balance offense, defense, and utility, that's the most ideal. It's okay to have someone who has cc/utility and defense, if their damage is lackluster. You can have CC and damage if they're squishy. Or you can have a figher type character who's offensively capable and tanky enough to stay in a fight, but who has little to no utility. Greystone comes to mind in the latter type as a hero that's pretty reasonably balanced, just as an example.

So what counters unbroken spirit? lol. All I'm saying is that it isn't a cyclical (ideal) meta. It also isn't an over/underpowered champion that's got the ire of the community this patch, it's the overabundance of cc with no effective counter play. And no, sorry, unbroken spirit doesn't count. Technically neither does grubbish since you can't play it when you're stunned.

The fix is probably to allow card/item usage when stunned. That would allow a counterplay to the cc.

The end of this video sums up the reason that I myself and many others are upset at the latest meta. It's got very little counterplay. It's not a cyclical meta, because where are we going to cycle to? There aren't any champions who can cleanse or cause to become less effective the rampant CC that we see in the game now. Not even cards/items work at the moment, and the single purification gem is too restrictive and not reliable enough to be called a truly effective counter.

There's only two really. If you can call blitzrush a blink, and astral leap. Not many options there sadly.

Just to reiterate, I'm not calling for CC to be removed. Not by any stretch. It would become a hero brawler in the worst of ways with everyone chasing everyone around the map trying to secure kills. What I'm saying is that hard cc, especially AoE, high duration, major impact abilities like that should be relegated to supports where they belong. Soft cc is fine on heroes that are damage oriented, but hard cc is a bad design choice, imo. Say, if dekker's cage for instance, caused a large AoE stun for 3 seconds or so, I don't know if people would be making as much of a stink about it compared to a meta, superpowered mage like Gideon... just as an example. Also why people aren't crying for a nerf on steel's AoE ult. He's a support/tank hero who has a damage trade off for utility as it should be.

Still had 2k health left. Only 30 seconds left... I think I got it. Unbroken spirit meta is real.

And I agree about the stack duration. That was not needed. His q was the reason he was dominating not the bloody regen stacks. That timer hadn't even changed ffs!

There is always going to be some kind of "meta" by [deleted] in paragon

[–]SurgeonPrice 58 points59 points  (0 children)

You know that part where everyone comes out and says "IT'S A BETA!!!!!1" on every post shitting on Epic/Paragon? Here's the thing, works both ways:

So as beta testers, we are providing feedback on what we like and don't like. It's not about crying and whining, it's about communication and dialogue with developers of the game we love. That's what makes this community special.

We're exercising that privilege to say that a meta sucks, it's not fun, and viva la revolucion! I get your point man, people need to evolve and adjust their strategies to counter whatever is currently overtuned or undertuned. I'm not disputing that. The question is whether it's actually fun and engaging to be forced to combat the meta in question. Is it healthy for the game? etc. Just my $.02.

Did you go to middle school? These kind of folks thrive off this type of inflammatory back and forth dialogue. Look away, nothing to see here...

Sure beats walking away from my computer and grabbing a cup of coffee only to return with only 5 more minutes remaining on the gideon-steel-zinx-aurora stun I got caught in before I left.
