Purgatory... A missed opportunity
So, I don't know if I'm alone in thinking this, but adding Purgatory into the game was an opportunity to add a really useful Mystic class into the game (not everyone has Doom!)
I've been using my Purgatory in as much content as I possibly can, and I think she is either missing some really key components that a Mystic champion needs, as matchups that would normally be stronger for a Mystic champion, she just fails to deal with.
Firstly, the shards needed to capture a soul are ridiculous in shorter fights, unawakened she just doesn't have a method of doing this in short fights. The requirement needs to come down from 9 to something like 3 surely.
A number of mystic champions have ways to deal with Cosmic champions and their buffs, even meme tier champions like Jane Foster and Juggernaut can deal with buffs, but common matchups like Hyperion and Angela (as examples) in a normal fight Purgatory doesn't have a way of dealing with their buffs (without ramp up), with Hyperion being an especially bad matchup, which seems insane for a Mystic champion.
Nova is an interesting one, in that not many champs have a way to deal with his Auto Block mechanic. Surely this was a great opportunity to introduce a Mystic champion with some way to deal with this?
I was also comparing Purgatory to Morningstar, as Purgatory is a version of Morningstar, and I'm wondering where the Bleed immunity went for Purgatory? Yes I know she gained Incinerate immunity but the core character is the same, so surely Bleed immunity should be there too?
I'd just love to see Purgatory as a usable Mystic champion, and as yet, I haven't found a particular matchup (Cosmic or otherwise) where she excels and becomes the number one option for. Even on AWD she is easily Torch-able (with the pre-fight) of course.
I'd love to see some justice for her.
Mods - are the devs aware of the feedback on Purgatory and are their plans to make improvements?
