Nightmare / Normal Raid Role Boosts

FishSkin

Anyone seen or know anything about role boosts for raids next week?

Looking at the new defenders - a lot of their base kits will render a fair few champs and/or role boosts useless in their current forms

From March:





All boosts will be the same. That's just what happens, many champs are useless.

@Pikolu said in a different thread that some of the defenders will be adjusted to make more attackers viable. For example, the tactician group, which is basically worthless against Sassy and Rintrah unless the defenders are kneecapped somehow.

What's weird about that is in the map preview for enlistment, you can see the edits like Rintrah loses 100% crit resistance and sassy loses 100% damage reduction. But nothing about the changes Pikolu mentioned. So I have a bad feeling that the launch may not go as intended.

This is by far the worst it’s ever been though.

It’s not so much the champ pools being the issue - 50% of the role boosts are effectively redundant, being impossible to gain fervor.

The map already displays the kneecapping they’ve received - unfortunately it doesn’t do anything to help out the role boosts as they exist today.

Despite the 30 champs being added across the roles, this rotation will be the most limited in terms of viable pairings.
