-Reloading bullet is pain, so unrealistic way to reload.
-no fate seal utility
-not good enough buff control
Too complex and unnecessary nerf.
Hope Kabam reverts it and just gives him a damage bump.
Thing is, he was never meant/used as a damage champ. His niche was buff suppression. Now he's only mediocre at that, and in exchange they brought his damage up to average levels. But being average at several things does not make him more useful than being great at one thing. Especially when you introduce an unnecessarily complicated mechanic for no reason on top of it all.
More importantly: people ranked him up and made him a meaningful part of their roster for his specific buff suppression utility. To completely alter that utility changes who he fundamentally is as a champ... in many cases making him useless compared to other champs on a player's roster.
Most champion updates simply streamline or upgrade the champion's existing functionality in various ways. But this one fundamentally changes the Hood's role/purpose.
People who ranked him up for his particular utility are upset because he no longer has that utility (at least not in such a meaningful degree)... which means their ranking of him was essentially a waste. If other people want the new version for a burst champ and whatever, then OK.
But I do think if they change the fundamental utility of a champ that some type of rank-down option needs to be made available, for those who invested resources on the premise of the very utility that is now being taken away.
