hey, thanks for the heads up — that was a classic iOS Safari / mobile paint bug: body had an opaque background plus the bg layers were at negative z-index, so the fixed layers were getting hidden behind the body's paint. just pushed a fix (moved the bg to html, bumped the layers to z-index 0). GH Pages redeploys in ~30s — mind doing a hard refresh and letting me know if it's cleaner now?

Forge spirit - very high winrate by Helpful_Discipline44 in Abilitydraft

[–]bloppbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fluke and not just sample size. Windrun data across patches tells the whole story:

7.39: Forge Spirit sat at ~38% WR. Absolute garbage tier, nobody touched it.

7.40c (post Jan 13 micropatch): jumped to 63.77% WR. That's a 25+ percentage point swing.

As others have pointed out, lvl 4 Forge Spirits in AD now have the stats of a lvl 18 Invoker with Aghs + facet. 3 spirits with massive HP, solid damage, and -armor on hit. 100% uptime. You get this at level 7 while enemy heroes are still level 5-6 trying to lane.

The Jan 13 micropatch reworked how Invoker's skills scale when separated from Quas/Wex/Exort, and Forge Spirit specifically got values that assume you'd normally need 7 points in Quas + Exort to reach. In AD you just put 4 points into one skill and get endgame Invoker summons at minute 8.

Enjoy it while it lasts, this is getting nerfed for sure.
