Patriot Buff

Did they mention in the stream the reworked kit would show up on forums?

I believe they did but they haven't said exactly when we'll see it

I’ve been assuming the August update, but who knows when we will be disappointed.

I guess its a safe bet that since most have him already that he wont end up being this OP photon /spiderwoman /science counter. More likely to see that from a new release champ that can be sold

Don't jinx it Herbal. I want him to be a proper banger. Skill class needs good attack options. I'm not saying game breaking level but anywhere near a sable buff will be good. His current damage is underwhelming.

Legacy suggests you're right but the heart says that this time it's going to be a good buff

The twitch stream on July 2 said they will definitly be showing the buff before it rolls out.

I'm expecting them to buff him in a way that makes him hyper efficient at photon and not the top 10 in anything else. Something like treating photons specific debuffs as precision or just simply bumping his damage and ignoring all the issues with his kit.

He could be a really fun champ but the core of his kit relying on the ai dependent reversal mechanic ends up being too risky. I end up just ignoring it and missing out on damage. At that point, why wouldn't I choose crossbones, shang-chi, kingpin, hit monkey, bullseye, black cat, moon dragon or the numerous other counters from other classes. Why learn a specific kit that does the job well for only a single champ when there are others who do it the same or better but can be used for other match ups?
