Ardan’s epic talent is ridiculous. I just had a match against an Ardan with a level 7 epic talent. Besides the obvious p2w level of the thing, it did 245% damage. It’s supposed to be offset by the cooldown, but that was only 132%. It was up every 5 seconds or so, and he could actually oneshot any of us (Ringo, me Joule, Lyra). One of the times he hit me, it was 1050+ damage, and then the Phinn (who was building crystal btw) killed me in one basic attack. I had an aegis, too, and was level 12.
Did this talent get buffed, or has it always been this awful?
The Ardan was building Serpent Mask, Tornado Trigger, Chargers, Spellsword, Clockwork, and Aegis. Couldn’t even get close to the dude, it was awful. Nerf it, for the love of god. How is this going unchecked?
They could at least try. I like giving the benefit of the doubt to SEMC with this when 5v5 just came out and they’re still ironing everything out, but it’s still hard to believe that these things are just flying under the radar completely unchecked. I think everyone at SEMC doesn’t want brawl to be inherently p2w, since I did hear about balancing with this stuff, so I just want to know what happened to it. I mean I know it’s a small team, so the people must just all be busy in 5v5.
From what I’ve seen on this patch, they’ve been putting all of their effort on 5v5. There’s a lot of work to do on that mode. Maybe they’ll review some stuff in brawl when 5v5 gets more stable.
That’s the thing with Vainglory though. If they buff a character for 5v5, it can affect 3v3 and brawl in a crazy way. It must not be an easy task to do these small modifications.
This. Idris win rates in all brawls is insane right now from the 2.12 buff he got. Ardan became more insane with the range buff he got on Blood for Blood which I believe was 2.12.
I think a part of the problem with blitz is the blind pick matchups. If you knew you were getting that Ardan you could probably counter pick it pretty easily.
In order to do the good damage with the Talent, he’s got to build glass cannon… and glass cannon heroes are incredibly easy to deal with.
Not to mention the fact he is predictable as hell. He can delete so many heroes, yes, but there are so many heroes that can quite easily avoid his deletion and then do the same back to him.
nope… I put his build in the op, and he was still deleting in one hit. He was tanky as hell, none of us could get close enough to him with Varya attacking from behind, and Phinn protecting her… We couldn’t touch any of them.
Kaiten, Bulwark, Shimmerstrike, Netherform Detonator, Storm guard, Merciless Persuit, Hangry, Core Collapse, Front Plating, Afterburn, the list goes on.
If you are still getting demolished by this easy mode ability then you seriously need to consider gitting gud.
