There is certain things you don’t wan’t to do when adding things in a kit. First off is negative “fun” Lyras B was frustrating and shut down WAY to many heroes to be even a counter. So it was a obvious large loss in “fun” for those experiencing it, but on top of that outside of the trained eye it was hard to tell if it even did anything. So the Lyra isn’t even sure she made a big impact. So over all it was largely negative not only from a design stand point but from a player stand point as well. In addition Lyras strength is spose to be creating a zone of control that is hard to get into. NOT a zone of control that is hard to get into but when your in it, its even worse. Lol

Its not easy to enter and when you do they take decent base damage and are pretty heavily slowed for 2 seconds. Thats not nothing. Thats actually very impacting. Part of the reason why Lyra is the top support.
True, i guess i just miss her ability to shut down

I hope the snare effect will be back one day, maybe in another hero, it’s such a unique type of CC

So how 'bout Churnwalker or especially Phinn? Those 2 have some sort of hooks that make the Snare effect somewhat realistic and explainable. Phinn needs it the most since he has been the least used Support now.
Phinn not being played is due to his lack of mobility and early snowballing in 5v5. He is actually one of the strongest late game supports. There is a reason why more pro players are using him lately. I already something planned for that. Also adding a random mechanic/CC to a hero that already exists isn’t that easy. Where are you going to put it? Is there particle effects? Does it require a new animation? Or is it just getting slapped on?
We will see. 
Maybe it will.

That’s why I told you to give him a snare. Maybe put that in his Quibble to make it more rewarding. And maybe sometimes logical players like me ask that: “How are they snared?”, you can answer: “Because they are hooked to Phinn’s anchor.”
And please, I have planned so many things in advance for Vainglory whenever I come it with balancing changes ideas. I have to take into account that changes may also require animation changes and the changes I make must not require any additional animation changes.
Im late. Lol how will you balance grace oppressive early game. Specially the top lane grace strat. its completly oppressive for the squishies they get 1v2 ny grace and their jungler
The quibble is a stun already on overdrive. So you want them to be slowed/stunned and snared? How will you show that if the plaque above your name can only say one or the other?

The snare comes in after the stun or you can put it in his Polite Company or even Forced Accord. Landing the Quibble on new-gen ultra fast hero like Reza, Kensei,… with a 4-ton lizard that moves as slow as a snail is hard now. We need more reward for that. You have to consider your hero pool if you want to balance something. You know that right?
i got a simple question Mr.Nivmett that should be easy to answer (i hope)…
Why did Skye lose her critical chance/critical damage (i forgot) on her Forward Barrage?
“You know that right?” Is that some sort of jab? Listen if your going to be insulting just stop there please.

It sorta blended her weapon and CP path together since they both played the same exact way. The only difference the lock on. That change wasn’t me though but I understand why it was done.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to make the quibble stun at all levels then? Why complicate it?
@Nivmett when will something be done to the rampant dodging?
It takes me twenty minutes to get into one game…
I know it’s not your alley but who cares for balance when there is no game to be found because people keep dodging…
Also on the subject of insults. I will say I didn’t appreciate some of the comments you made about me in other discussions. I will tell you if your not respectful, I will simply refuse to respond to you since you no longer deserve a response. As the line goes. “Manners maketh man”
