Can I ask if anyone complaining has actually seen this buff / nerf? No.
Yes.. his losing fate seal.. I understand that.. there's a reason they've removed it. How can you complain before you've seen something. Wait until the buff comes out. Then kick and scream about it.
But hey, go ahead and keep pushing that disagree button to anyone who actually wants to see the buff before judging it. If it's a s*** buff, I'll be on here complaining.. until then. I want to see him before I pass judgement.
11 dislikes is my record so far.. bring it on boys, I'm waiting..
You are getting disagrees because you missed the point that is everyone is complaining that they are changing the core utility of the champ for which people ranked him up. Don't be melodramatic, you are getting disagrees because you are posting without understanding what exactly people are even arguing about here.
Like I said.. I get everyone is crying about fate seal being removed.. my point is, I want to see the build before I cry about it. Yes, something has been removed. It's like if corvus's immortality was removed, ghosts phase, or nicks LMD.. but I'd still want to see what they bring to the table.. if I don't like what they've given me.. then I'm sending it back.
I'm not passing judgement until AFTER I've seen footage. I'm not being melodramatic, I'm loving that everyone disagrees.. because that's currently 14 people, who show they don't give a damn, and won't even give a build a chance. If they've put time into the build, then we should at least have the decency to try it. Then we can say it's s***..
I'll probably be in this post moaning too after it's been released. But I'm not moaning about it until I've had a chance to actually try it, or seen a decent amount of gameplay.
If you still think people are only complaining about the hood’s fateseal, and not about the precedent it sets that kabam can alter or straight up remove huge parts of champions kits in place of damage
SG was buffed two years ago. You're a little late
I’d be interested to know what important part of spider gwens kit got removed. Unless you’re talking about her sp1...

I'm gonna wait and see with this buff, off course.
But I am at least disappointed a bit already, cause I've always found The Hood really fun to play. Even until a year ago, when most content had smaller healthpoles, I used him quite frequently. He had the utility and he has a fun playstyle. So all he needed to be relevant again, is just a small increase in his attack.
Now by changing his abilities, I already feel like they are taking away a champion I liked playing. Even if he turns out to still be enjoyable, they still removed something I liked for no good reason.
It's the principal that 'buffs' on champions like the Hood, who has been mentioned plenty in every 'underrated champion' discussion, are gonna change key abilities about them. It's fine for champions that no one likes or uses. But champions that have use and that are 'underrated' should be the kind that just get number changes or small tweeks that make them more relevant.
The point is that there was no need for changing his abilities. Everyone would have been happy if you left The Hood as is, but with a little more attack.

Well said, and the point is, what if kabam don’t get it right next time, and the champion is not enjoyable?
If kabam left hood how he is, just tweaked his damage, there’s two outcomes, either they gave him enough damage in which case people are happy, or they didn’t give him enough damage, in which case life goes on and hood players are still happy. Maybe a little disappointed. But still happy with the champion they have.
But now they’ve put themselves in a lose lose situation, either the damage is ok and hood players are still annoyed. Or the damage isn’t ok and hood players are still annoyed but also angry that their champion was changed for nothing- just a poor damage output champion with as much buff control as juggernaut.

Do you realize how condescending you sound? There is outrage after every tuneup, sometimes huge and some times very small. But most of the people that are complaining are the ones that say we need to wait and watch. The reason people are complaining is because 1) The precedent it sets for other champion reworks. 2) Kabam took a perfectly good champ, reworked him, decided that he was too OP and instead of tuning the rework part, they decided to change the original kit which was his bread and butter. Very easy example is Super skrull released last month. He gets a buff every second he gets a buff and the new hood will not have any way to remove them. The old hood could fire an sp2 and render him almost useless. It was the same with YJ and it was the same with Kingpin. Only for YJ and Kingpin, most people did not react enough because they were not used much. That is not the case for Hood, because plenty of people have been using him.

But don't you think that a community a giving a signal to the developer is a good thing. Even if what we get instead of the old Hood is fine as well, I would still like to say: please don't change the abilities of champions we like and use.
I think Kabam actually wants the time and money they invest into rebalancing these older champions to be spend as efficiently as possible. They do these buffs to make the community happy. So in this case, maybe they should have just done a numbers tweek. It would have made all Hood-users happy, and convince people who didn't play to actually get to know him.
I have other older champions of whom I really like the abilities (Rogue, Dormammu,..). I would be disappointed if they would change these Champs in future buffs. Even if what I get instead is more usable overall. I think it's a good thing that we voice this opinion to the developer (in a respectable way).

This. We can roll over and wait for the change to see how different they are, or we can make our voices heard right now and say “when buffing our champions, do not remove their core utility. Nobody wants a good damage gladiator hulk with no face me mechanic. Nobody wants a good damage Ronan with no stun lock. Those 2 examples and many others have niche uses but are very much in line for a buff. Kabam need to understand that when the choice is “take away core utility for a new good damage mechanic” or “keep core utility but reduce the potency of new damage mechanics”, the vast majority would prefer the latter option. The earlier we make this clear the better as they probably have many champions in various stages of the buff process, from planning/ideas to basically done and tested.
While I do agree with waiting and seeing regarding new champs and buffs, I honestly don’t believe this update to Hood will make much of a difference. Sure, he gets some damage, but at the cost of a fairly decent chunk of his utility. A lot of the scenarios he would’ve been great for, he may no longer even be an option. Any new or progressing players early in the game will find this update to be an improvement because of the increased damage output. However, I personally believe he has lost close to all of his value for later content that required his unique kit, so players that are at these later pieces of content are at a disadvantage as they just lost a possible counter for these particular scenarios. I only pulled my 5* Hood a few days ago, and I’ll admit that I had never used the character much at lower star levels and didn’t understand his uses until now. With this update, I personally won’t be touching Hood. Not just because I think his overall value will go down, but because as many have stated, this update sets a dangerous precedent going forward. While yes, in updating champs sometimes things will be removed. However, they have managed to always keep the core of the character intact. Something else to consider is that until this month, the majority of champs receiving buffs were towards the lower tiers. This month, there are a few mid tiers getting updated. These are champs that players have ranked for specific uses, and now Kabam is basically saying that they no longer care about keeping the core of the characters intact and no champion is safe from that. If this trend continues then it is definitely worrisome as to what other champs will have key parts of their kit stripped away for something shiny and new.
#Justice for hood. If you are buffing or reworking a champs please keep their utilities intact. We got plenty of damage dealers in the game already. For hood a damage tune up along with some immunities and keep the utility same would help.

In the 🥪 I love to eat, there is a little ingredient A I like, but not many care for it. Now the shop says, they will change it, add much more value and other delicious items but will hence cease giving ingredient A.
Should I bother to taste what the new recipe is like since the only reason I want to eat that is it has a little ingredient A?
LOL. I’m not a fan of this example.
It’s like going to get your sandwich and they say hey I know your sandwich you like the crunchy peanut butter and jelly one. We upgraded from store bought Jam to making our own, it’s healthier for you and it’s homemade and it allows us to sell more sandwiches to the health minded couple. If we continue to sell store bought jam, we would lose a lot of health conscious customers.
After that it’s your choice to buy the sandwich or not. Who knows it may taste great.
At the moment Hood is a PB&J sandwich. What they're doing is taking the jam out and putting pastrami in. Which, by itself, would make a very nice sandwich. Just not with peanut butter, and not after I've had PB&J every day for four years, am very happy with, I SPECIFICALLY WANTED a PB&J sandwich, and no one asked me if I wanted pastrami - they just decided to change it anyway.

No no, he hit it right on the nail.
We will see tomorrow. Keep in mind everyone has a side and just because you are one fence or the other doesn’t mean it’s right , this goes for myself as well. We are just trying to convince each other that we are right , but we can’t seem to agree on anything, without establishing some mutual agreement we will do in circles.
Even if he has decent damage, he's lost his uniquity as an underrated but killer buff controller and now he'd be an alright damage dealer among an expanding sea of them.
Sure he could be a great damage dealer, but what you don't seem to get it that people know he's worse because he doesn't have what made him so good anymore, no amount of damage can replace utility.
Honestly , People say he is not an Annhilus counter anymore and it’s just simply not true. He puts a stagger on him and nullifies the buff. This lets me know people are confusing the line between how certain interactions happen in the game and how they are affected.
So now that Annhilus is out the way, what else does Fate seal handle ? Resistor nodes? That’s a layup node. Champion boss? See previous vide.
I’m just concerned people don’t know what they are losing versus what they are gaining and can’t tell the difference.
He can’t nullify the Rod without the current hex/fate seal on sp2. Have to remove it with sp2 first, then you can keep it off with the staggers.

It’s not bugged, lol. It’s says “activates”...
Staggers “activate” when a buff activates. In order for the rod to activate, it has to be removed first so it goes on cooldown. The only way for Hood to remove it is the sp2 nullify...
With only staggers, The Hood will likely struggle with Medusa, Annihilus, Air Walker, Vision Aarkus, and maybe Hyperion too if you aren’t super aggressive. He used to be one of the best options against those champs.
I’m one of those “few” that actually use Hood regularly. I have the whole Ghost trio R3. The decision was made primarily because he had everything you needed in a mystic other than dmg. The R3 helped fill that gap.

But hey, go ahead and keep pushing that disagree button to anyone who actually wants to see the buff before judging it. If it's a s*** buff, I'll be on here complaining.. until then. I want to see him before I pass judgement.
11 dislikes is my record so far.. bring it on boys, I'm waiting..
In the 🥪 I love to eat, there is a little ingredient A I like, but not many care for it. Now the shop says, they will change it, add much more value and other delicious items but will hence cease giving ingredient A.
Should I bother to taste what the new recipe is like since the only reason I want to eat that is it has a little ingredient A?
LOL. I’m not a fan of this example.
It’s like going to get your sandwich and they say hey I know your sandwich you like the crunchy peanut butter and jelly one. We upgraded from store bought Jam to making our own, it’s healthier for you and it’s homemade and it allows us to sell more sandwiches to the health minded couple. If we continue to sell store bought jam, we would lose a lot of health conscious customers.
After that it’s your choice to buy the sandwich or not. Who knows it may taste great.
At the moment Hood is a PB&J sandwich. What they're doing is taking the jam out and putting pastrami in. Which, by itself, would make a very nice sandwich. Just not with peanut butter, and not after I've had PB&J every day for four years, am very happy with, I SPECIFICALLY WANTED a PB&J sandwich, and no one asked me if I wanted pastrami - they just decided to change it anyway.

No way LOL.
No no, he hit it right on the nail.
We will see tomorrow. Keep in mind everyone has a side and just because you are one fence or the other doesn’t mean it’s right , this goes for myself as well. We are just trying to convince each other that we are right , but we can’t seem to agree on anything, without establishing some mutual agreement we will do in circles.
Even if he has decent damage, he's lost his uniquity as an underrated but killer buff controller and now he'd be an alright damage dealer among an expanding sea of them.
Sure he could be a great damage dealer, but what you don't seem to get it that people know he's worse because he doesn't have what made him so good anymore, no amount of damage can replace utility.
Honestly , People say he is not an Annhilus counter anymore and it’s just simply not true. He puts a stagger on him and nullifies the buff. This lets me know people are confusing the line between how certain interactions happen in the game and how they are affected.
So now that Annhilus is out the way, what else does Fate seal handle ? Resistor nodes? That’s a layup node. Champion boss? See previous vide.
I’m just concerned people don’t know what they are losing versus what they are gaining and can’t tell the difference.
He can’t nullify the Rod without the current hex/fate seal on sp2. Have to remove it with sp2 first, then you can keep it off with the staggers.
It’s bugged at the moment, but applying a stagger is supposed to make the cosmic rod go on cool down.
It’s not bugged, lol. It’s says “activates”...
Staggers “activate” when a buff activates. In order for the rod to activate, it has to be removed first so it goes on cooldown. The only way for Hood to remove it is the sp2 nullify...
You’re absolutely right, “activate” was an unclear word and I misunderstood.
Just tested and duelled a hood with anihulus. Let him get a stagger on me then Dexed and the cosmic rod went on cool down. Unfortunately this means unless annihulus triggers a buff outside of cosmic rod, hood won’t be usable against him.
However, you can still use hood against annihulus if there’s a secondary buff node. May be niche, but how many feats of power, armour, fury on hit or any other buff nodes are there.
I still agree Hood will be way worse, just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Like it’s been said before, he won’t be nearly as effective in those fights where they start with buffs, or buffs slip thru his staggers. He won’t have a way to remove them anymore. That was his main appeal, and a pretty huge takeaway...
For me, all I wanted for him is 100% projectile miss, and one of thebig dmg modifiers. Maybe instead of his sp3 dmg increasing in relation to their power, they could have given him a big fury like Doom’s, etc...

Everything else coulda been left as is.
Yep absolutely agree. I think it’s an awful change. Thing is, this new hex damage seems like it could be good as long as the numbers add up, but he just didn’t need that utility taken away
I find it hard to believe it would be “OP” if they left the Fate seal in with the new kit. He’d essentially be a modified version of Sym Supreme.
What kinda freak out would happen if Sym’s cunning trigger no longer nullified buffs, but exploded his staggers or something instead, lol?
He absolutely wouldn’t be too OP, and I don’t think Kabam is arguing that. But they’re saying that he was too powerful for what they intended him for with fate seal, which is more annoying than wrong

Well, that’s when you go back to the drawing board instead of “F it”, take out the best thing he had going and surround it with smoke and mirrors and push it out like a polished turd, lol
But I digress, we won’t know the full extent til we can play it. But the fact is, left as is, a majority of the fights I used him for will no longer be favorable...

Should I bother to taste what the new recipe is like since the only reason I want to eat that is it has a little ingredient A?
LOL. I’m not a fan of this example.
It’s like going to get your sandwich and they say hey I know your sandwich you like the crunchy peanut butter and jelly one. We upgraded from store bought Jam to making our own, it’s healthier for you and it’s homemade and it allows us to sell more sandwiches to the health minded couple. If we continue to sell store bought jam, we would lose a lot of health conscious customers.
After that it’s your choice to buy the sandwich or not. Who knows it may taste great.
At the moment Hood is a PB&J sandwich. What they're doing is taking the jam out and putting pastrami in. Which, by itself, would make a very nice sandwich. Just not with peanut butter, and not after I've had PB&J every day for four years, am very happy with, I SPECIFICALLY WANTED a PB&J sandwich, and no one asked me if I wanted pastrami - they just decided to change it anyway.
Can I ask if anyone complaining has actually seen this buff / nerf? No.
Yes.. his losing fate seal.. I understand that.. there's a reason they've removed it. How can you complain before you've seen something. Wait until the buff comes out. Then kick and scream about it.
But hey, go ahead and keep pushing that disagree button to anyone who actually wants to see the buff before judging it. If it's a s*** buff, I'll be on here complaining.. until then. I want to see him before I pass judgement.

No way LOL.
No no, he hit it right on the nail.
We will see tomorrow. Keep in mind everyone has a side and just because you are one fence or the other doesn’t mean it’s right , this goes for myself as well. We are just trying to convince each other that we are right , but we can’t seem to agree on anything, without establishing some mutual agreement we will do in circles.
Even if he has decent damage, he's lost his uniquity as an underrated but killer buff controller and now he'd be an alright damage dealer among an expanding sea of them.
Sure he could be a great damage dealer, but what you don't seem to get it that people know he's worse because he doesn't have what made him so good anymore, no amount of damage can replace utility.
Honestly , People say he is not an Annhilus counter anymore and it’s just simply not true. He puts a stagger on him and nullifies the buff. This lets me know people are confusing the line between how certain interactions happen in the game and how they are affected.
So now that Annhilus is out the way, what else does Fate seal handle ? Resistor nodes? That’s a layup node. Champion boss? See previous vide.
I’m just concerned people don’t know what they are losing versus what they are gaining and can’t tell the difference.
He can’t nullify the Rod without the current hex/fate seal on sp2. Have to remove it with sp2 first, then you can keep it off with the staggers.
It’s bugged at the moment, but applying a stagger is supposed to make the cosmic rod go on cool down.
It’s not bugged, lol. It’s says “activates”...
Staggers “activate” when a buff activates. In order for the rod to activate, it has to be removed first so it goes on cooldown. The only way for Hood to remove it is the sp2 nullify...
You’re absolutely right, “activate” was an unclear word and I misunderstood.
Just tested and duelled a hood with anihulus. Let him get a stagger on me then Dexed and the cosmic rod went on cool down. Unfortunately this means unless annihulus triggers a buff outside of cosmic rod, hood won’t be usable against him.
However, you can still use hood against annihulus if there’s a secondary buff node. May be niche, but how many feats of power, armour, fury on hit or any other buff nodes are there.
I still agree Hood will be way worse, just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
When Annhilus triggers unstoppable it removes the rod. The dex triggered his unstoppable.
For Annihilus’ unstoppable to trigger, you have to let him touch you...
I prefer not to be touched, lol... 😘
Don't you have to just dash back while a stifle is active?
That has to be placed on you either through block or direct hit

There's a difference between getting to one Sp2 and nullifying it, and not being able to the whole fight

But I am at least disappointed a bit already, cause I've always found The Hood really fun to play. Even until a year ago, when most content had smaller healthpoles, I used him quite frequently. He had the utility and he has a fun playstyle. So all he needed to be relevant again, is just a small increase in his attack.
Now by changing his abilities, I already feel like they are taking away a champion I liked playing. Even if he turns out to still be enjoyable, they still removed something I liked for no good reason.
It's the principal that 'buffs' on champions like the Hood, who has been mentioned plenty in every 'underrated champion' discussion, are gonna change key abilities about them. It's fine for champions that no one likes or uses. But champions that have use and that are 'underrated' should be the kind that just get number changes or small tweeks that make them more relevant.
The point is that there was no need for changing his abilities. Everyone would have been happy if you left The Hood as is, but with a little more attack.
If kabam left hood how he is, just tweaked his damage, there’s two outcomes, either they gave him enough damage in which case people are happy, or they didn’t give him enough damage, in which case life goes on and hood players are still happy. Maybe a little disappointed. But still happy with the champion they have.
But now they’ve put themselves in a lose lose situation, either the damage is ok and hood players are still annoyed. Or the damage isn’t ok and hood players are still annoyed but also angry that their champion was changed for nothing- just a poor damage output champion with as much buff control as juggernaut.
1) The precedent it sets for other champion reworks.
2) Kabam took a perfectly good champ, reworked him, decided that he was too OP and instead of tuning the rework part, they decided to change the original kit which was his bread and butter. Very easy example is Super skrull released last month. He gets a buff every second he gets a buff and the new hood will not have any way to remove them. The old hood could fire an sp2 and render him almost useless.
It was the same with YJ and it was the same with Kingpin. Only for YJ and Kingpin, most people did not react enough because they were not used much. That is not the case for Hood, because plenty of people have been using him.
I think Kabam actually wants the time and money they invest into rebalancing these older champions to be spend as efficiently as possible. They do these buffs to make the community happy. So in this case, maybe they should have just done a numbers tweek. It would have made all Hood-users happy, and convince people who didn't play to actually get to know him.
I have other older champions of whom I really like the abilities (Rogue, Dormammu,..). I would be disappointed if they would change these Champs in future buffs. Even if what I get instead is more usable overall. I think it's a good thing that we voice this opinion to the developer (in a respectable way).
We can roll over and wait for the change to see how different they are, or we can make our voices heard right now and say “when buffing our champions, do not remove their core utility.
Nobody wants a good damage gladiator hulk with no face me mechanic.
Nobody wants a good damage Ronan with no stun lock.
Those 2 examples and many others have niche uses but are very much in line for a buff.
Kabam need to understand that when the choice is “take away core utility for a new good damage mechanic” or “keep core utility but reduce the potency of new damage mechanics”, the vast majority would prefer the latter option.
The earlier we make this clear the better as they probably have many champions in various stages of the buff process, from planning/ideas to basically done and tested.
Staggers “activate” when a buff activates. In order for the rod to activate, it has to be removed first so it goes on cooldown. The only way for Hood to remove it is the sp2 nullify...
I’m one of those “few” that actually use Hood regularly. I have the whole Ghost trio R3. The decision was made primarily because he had everything you needed in a mystic other than dmg. The R3 helped fill that gap.
Just tested and duelled a hood with anihulus. Let him get a stagger on me then Dexed and the cosmic rod went on cool down. Unfortunately this means unless annihulus triggers a buff outside of cosmic rod, hood won’t be usable against him.
However, you can still use hood against annihulus if there’s a secondary buff node. May be niche, but how many feats of power, armour, fury on hit or any other buff nodes are there.
I still agree Hood will be way worse, just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
For me, all I wanted for him is 100% projectile miss, and one of thebig dmg modifiers. Maybe instead of his sp3 dmg increasing in relation to their power, they could have given him a big fury like Doom’s, etc...
Everything else coulda been left as is.
What kinda freak out would happen if Sym’s cunning trigger no longer nullified buffs, but exploded his staggers or something instead, lol?
But I digress, we won’t know the full extent til we can play it. But the fact is, left as is, a majority of the fights I used him for will no longer be favorable...
I prefer not to be touched, lol... 😘
Get to sp2, fire, then you can do as you will
It’s one reason I absolutely hated Stubborn in AW. How you gonna punish peeps skill to avoid attacks by say “screw that... you can’t dmg me til I hit you...”, lol
