Why’d they buff Bap? I feel like they could have never made a single change to his current kit and he’d be perfectly fine as is. He is strong enough as is and is just good enough to be very viable in high tier and competitive play while not feeling overwhelming while also being balanced in mid or low tiers. Feels very unnecessary.
Because his CP carry path is pretty terrible. Utility Baptiste will still bring pretty much the same value to a team. CP Baptiste may actually be able to get damage down onto carries in 5v5 now.
No buff to idris??? And no buff to Vox either. Baron is still disappeared, Miho untouched for some reason. Very small nerf to joule.
They buff kinetic and not Idris?? And Leo still has no ult animation, great.
Aren’t the Ishtar nerfs the hot fix?
I give this update 6.5/10. Heroes that needed buffs were untouched (idris, Vox, varya, Taka, Silvernail, baron), some changes are meaningless (reza, joule), and some needed changes weren’t done (animation to leo’s Ult). The item changes are also pretty poor honestly.
Actually the correct answer is inbetween, CP bat is viable, but not that great. Carry a game? Good, l3on can carry the game with any hero, this does not prove anything… esp in t10 bronze - I see decent players there that plays rarely and no offence, but for real t5 skill wise players that just grind or play in a party to get boosted (t5 as in when the game had a player base, i.e. 3vs3 times).
Some heroes that needs some love like WP idris was not touched + some items that are literally never/almost never used also are not touched at all… wish they had expand the changes a little further.
Also lol to the ishtar nerf… this goes to show how she was at release before the hotfix + that they didn’t nerf her even close enough, because that nerfs here are ouch big.
The Ishtar hotfix is also in the changes, so I don’t know what are the new changes (I don’t remember the hot fix stats).
Edit: compared to the hot fix (current state) the nerfs are:
Crystal ratio from blades from 35% → 30%
Damage from consecutive blades (both passive, A ability and B) from 33% →25%
Cooldown in C increased.
Isn’t as drastic as it originally seemed.
Even now it’s questionable if she will be balanced or still kinda a little bit too strong. Atleast she will not be totally busted and lol to the people that said she was balanced in her release state or even after the hotfix.
