The War on the WP Mastery
Hey, it's out of control.. it's clear the devs do not want us to heal from excessive debuffs via WP, very clear
We know this by all of the Heal Block nodes, now a new one in the most recent AOA, all the champs kits who disable the Mastery, or reduce it or add some kind of line into the description to remove the chance of getting "free" healing of late.. it's a growing trend with no sign of slowing
It obviously really bothers them, the devs.. the way that the characters and the fights they are designing that apply a lot of debuffs (by their own design) are interacting with WP - so the "solution" has been to just reach into our build and disable part of our masteries via nodes or champ kits.. and I'm so over it
You guys designed WP and the way it works.. you guys designed the champs who throw debuffs.. you guys also design the fights that have nodes that apply tons of debuffs - it's not something that happened to you, you designed it
The part that bothers me the most is that the affect this new design philosophy (slap a Healblock on it/disable WP) completely ignores the fact that Recoil players exist, but we do.. and we're tired of this dynamic
My proposal:
- Just change the Mastery already (issue some type of "rank down" type comp for anyone who wants out .. you're clearly unhappy with how it is functioning
- update the WP Mastery to only apply to damaging debuffs vs non-damaging
- in return, modernize it by making apply to all damaging effects, but not any non-damaging effects.. as this makes more sense to me anyway (it's only "free" healing against non-damaging.. against damaging, it's actually mitigating something as it was originally designed to)
