Rintrah Update inconsistent

With the recent Rintrah change, instead up nerfing how he has played since he launched they instead updated the info page. The exact opposite of when they nerfed moleman. Interesting to say the least.

Updating him to work how his description said he did would be a huge nerf against champions like hulkling. Good luck using your sp2 effectively when every hit gives you a power gain even when at 20 charges. It would make having him awakened feel even worse than it already is.

Overall I'm glad they kept his playstyle the same.

It took 1.5 years but they finally decided to read the spotlight thread ...

Yes. Let me state it again. One champion was nerfred and the other was not nerfed and instead the info page was changed. Inconsistency is my only point. I'm not advocating for anything with regard to rintrah.

I like that Blade shuts him down now lol

I guess he's off Trello.

Here's the conversion at Kabam:

How long will these programming changes take?

4-6 weeks.

What if we just change the text?

1 day.

Done!

You're acting like things like this haven't been done before. Kabam sometimes changes the champ or the text depending on what they deem to be the better solution

With the moleman nerf specifically the argument was they HAD to make the abilities match the info page. They couldn't just change the description. When domino was brought about how moleman was different, I honestly can't remember what the excuse was. maybe they said the kabaam employee who explained why domino was handheld differently didn't know what they were taking about... or maybe that was the AA nerf. I honestly can't keep it straight at this point.

In moleman's case, it was a bug and many on the forums knew it as such. The part that made it so bad was that Kabam was silent on the issue for so long even when directly asked. They are at least handling Rintrah better

They are not. They have now allowed Blade to own him. Its a NERF.

Again, not trying to argue about it he was or was not nerfed. Rather the double standard.

Cool… I’m with you… In that I was mad about the MM nerf too. Lol. Seriously I know that’s not what you’re saying but I’m with you in that the investments we make are not reliable. Both MM and Rintrah are champs that I reeeeallly liked a lot. Invested in them. I was excited about them. This game costs money (for anyone here in reality). So basically my feeling is that: design your stuff. Don’t rush. Test it. Figure it out. Don’t blame or call it a bug if that’s how it works. Leave it alone. The GD game is based on low probability pulls and I actually pull a good champ and you nerf it? Seriously? And I’m supposed to vibe with this “we’re tweaking our hot stuff” concept? From an investment standpoint unless you’re planning on spending an endless amount of money indefinitely… people have been telling me I make zero sense… well THAT is what makes zero sense.

What makes zero sense is that you obviously don't read the terms of service that say kabam can change any champ at any time regardless if you like it or not and are not obligated at all to give you anything in return if they do. They are nice enough when they do however.

Hazareth

My point exactly. Thank you.

Hazareth

Ah, the kindness. Please bless me with your kindness great kabam for all of the money i have sent you great one. Lol

A little consistency would be nice. It's clear you champion Kabam no matter what, it's sad that the users who do that instead of thinking themselves are the ones being emulated
