Best Of

I have always been a F2P. It just doesn’t make sense to me to pay for stuff inside a mobile game which I can get for free a bit later anyway . And the sheer insane amount of money people spend are insane . People are actually spending HUNDREDS of dollars, enough money to get yourself an international vacation with fights and hotel included or a full on game console annd professional games if you are not the real world type and for what ? Freaking units and maybe a champ and some materials? It’s insane . Even if you are rich it’s insane

The people that are spending that kind of money have more than they know what to do with anyways.

Fair point . To some people hundreds or even thousands of dollars are the equivalent of pennies . Still super weird to me . If I was so rich there are so many way more interesting things I would do . To each their own I guess

Id buy all the coolest Lego sets. That's just me though.

Love that we're getting a new sci defender but i am unable to put my dissatisfaction and anger about how designers practically "CHEAT" when they make 5/5 defenders. Its so crazy.
Undermine was supposed to be the upgrade from true accuracy as it is not affected by AAR but now they wanna bypass WHAT THEY CREATED with an autoblocker who practically stops champs from gaining undermine. LOL. His autoblock can't even be defeated by DAAR basically turning off his skill counters. If that ain't cheating I don't know what is honestly. How are they going to produce a counter it'll probably be something stupid and oddly specific like NTW and her counter evade. Unless they create a skill champ that is completely immune to debuffs and has undermine or is nearly permanently unblockable. Ohh well they'll probably think of something after all "unfair mechanics leave room for new design spaces and mechanics".

Defenders SHOULD NOT COUNTER THE MECHANIC YOU'VE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IN YOUR GAME TO COUNTER THEM.

Now he has a new debuff called desolve which LITERALLY turns off EVERYTHING YOU'D USE TO ATTACK HIM attack rating Crit rating, crit damage, armor pen you name it. I hate this serpent design mindset where defenders have to be immune to most common sources of damage.

Ohh well at least the desolve on paper should be avoidable as long as he doesn't get pushed to sp2. He's going to be A HUGE PROBLEM on that combat power node or LITERALLY ANY POWERGAIN NODE WHICH HAPPENS to be EVERY BATTLEGROUND META.

5/5 defenders DO NOT HAVE TO SHUT OUT 95% OF THE CHAMPION POOL. This design philosophy is just so tiring.

1) Undermine is as subject to AAR as True Accuracy is, it’s just that there’s less AAR effects like Arcade and the True Lies node that directly target it.
2) High Evolutionary doesn’t even counter True Accuracy, he blocks True Sense. Go nuts with your True Accuracy and True Strike champs like Odin, Bullseye, Medusa, etc.
3) Devolve is 1.6% potency, to a max of 16% at max stacks. It affects a lot of things but it’s not particularly strong, he’s no Yelena when it comes to damage reduction.

And to the larger point, “cheating” in design is a subjective measure. What works, works. If you want a difficult challenge, you have to block off at least some of the easy autopilot counterplay. High Evolutionary looks tough enough to be worthy of a 5/5 defender rating, but I’m not seeing anything here that makes him seem unfair.

You did make him seem alot less troublesome. Learned a few things from this reply. We'll see how he turns out in the game but thank you for this.
