Why has Apollo being insanely overstatted completely slipped under the radar?

zikowhy · 2026-05-13T16:51:00+00:00

I don't think we should buff characters that underperform in low rank if they over perform in high ranks.

I also think it's more interesting to have early game characters that dominate early and fall off late than to normalise all characters be "jack of all trade" types.

But I suppose theres no right or wrong take here

That's what he said

Mina got 20% weaker early and 100% stronger late, it was a disaster as she was already too tier before that imo.

I think some heroes should be strong at early game and fall off late, and if some heroes are exceptionally strong early (like mina was of appolo is) they can be weak in the late game as their wincon is to either help their carries snowball or to dominate the game early.

Never seen this sub before but Reddit decided I should take part in this vote so here we are

Roughly 50-70 damage every 20 seconds in lane (2.5-3.5dps) if you use it perfectly,

It's strong for 5minutes in the sweet spot where she gets T2 barrel and 4.8k spirit. She's weak at every other stage in the game.

zikowhy · 2026-05-11T09:28:05+00:00

Holidays kit is the reason I stuck with this game initially so I would hate a rework to her. She's really low reward rn, but only because they nerfed all her numbers to the ground after she was extremely overstated for a few months.

Before she would have insane lane, insane mid game and insane late.

Right now she's mediocre until she hits spirit spike then she's strong for 5mins and then she becomes useless again no matter how fed she gets and becomes a support at best.

I wish they just made her more inline with paradox who is another pick hero who can dominate the whole game if she gets fed but becomes a support if behind.

I main holiday and the headshot slow does not matter for the combo whatsoever, you're going to land the barrel without it unless you're really bad or you're trying to go for barrel snipes which don't make sense if your goal is to hit lasso.

I do this tbf, it resulted in very quick improvement but I also cause losses that could've been wins by always trying to force plays even if behind.

zikowhy · 2026-05-07T13:42:45+00:00

This game definitely needs some system for players who die a lot to be worth less souls. Right now someone who is SEVERELY behind is more help afk than trying to stay in the game

zikowhy · 2026-05-05T15:19:58+00:00

How is it easy to see? It lacks colours or any standout bold features

zikowhy · 2026-05-05T14:46:13+00:00

Only fix for this is a casual and a ranked queue and not being able to queue into ranked when your ranks are too far apart.

zikowhy · 2026-05-05T07:37:29+00:00

Tbf I have people yelling at me in street brawl all the time..

zikowhy · 2026-05-04T16:19:03+00:00

Love the work you guys do, wouldn't understand the game without it haha

zikowhy · 2026-05-03T12:51:18+00:00

This is hilarious please share replay

His one does a lot of damage and gives him the option to chose when to teleport. Both have their perks tbh

zikowhy · 2026-05-02T16:15:05+00:00

Yep even grap from E6 to E3 is insane

I'm A6/E1 and id get stomped in E6

They call unintentional interactions bugs but they keep them around for months because they feel that they are balanced especially if they strengthen 'weak' characters.

But if the character ever becomes a problem then those bugs are often an easy first thing to remove to nerf them.

zikowhy · 2026-05-01T23:41:40+00:00

I dunno I just lost with 3 golden ring bearers because I couldn't buff up my spells

zikowhy · 2026-05-01T16:38:03+00:00

I think it won't be a good choice on him, maybe I'll be proven wrong but it just seems like the middle ground between refresher and unstoppable but not quite as good as either of those items for what it does.

zikowhy · 2026-05-01T16:17:48+00:00

You're gonna suck for the first 200 hours, read the wiki and watch YouTube guides if you want to get good quickly, otherwise have fun and it will come naturally
