When they do these adjustments it makes me regret the choices I’ve made with resources. It always comes well after players have these champs maxed out. Whether they’re small or big adjustments, still feels like a gut punch.
Looks like we've caused a little confusion with the way that our fix for Ægon's Combo Shield was worded.
Right now, it reads "ÆGON: Fixed Combo Shield to be a true Buff which can now be interacted with.", but what it should have said is "ÆGON: Fixed the Combo Shield from Heavy Charge to work properly when stolen (ex. Loki)".
His Combo Shield has always been a Buff, both for the ones received from the Combo Meter, and from charging a Heavy, but under the hood, it was acting in a way that didn't work properly when stolen, such as by Loki. We've now fixed that, so all in all, there should be no visible/noticeable change to note, unless you're fighting/using Loki.
Also, to touch on the confusion caused by "Passive Abilities". Passive Abilities do not necessarily mean that the results are Passive Effects, just that this is an always active ability. The Combo Shield is a Buff generated by a Passive Ability.
We hope this clears things up, and are sorry for the confusion that was caused.
Also, I wasn't fond of the "passive effect" nomenclature but since that's now the standard, perhaps Kabam should consider finding a different/better name for "Passive Abilities" since that's now unavoidably confusing.
WHATADAYAMEAN????
Does that mean that his combo shield can be nullified, trigger spite, EMP, and all of the other fun, and interactive stuff that "buffs" trigger against certain nodes?
If so, I would think that we need a little more than just an "I'm sorry, we messed up the description of this champ abilities(again)"
Please do clarify
Should this not mean the combo shield itself is passive and not able to be nullified? In addition does that also mean his furies etc should NOT be able to be nullified? Are there currently passive abilities in game which are able to be nullified?
A champion ability is analogous to a skill, like Archery. An effect is like an arrow to the knee. You can be immune to arrows. You cannot be immune to Archery. You can nullify the effect of an arrow stuck into your body. You cannot nullify someone's archery skill.
This was all covered many times in the past, in particular with Medusa. Medusa has a passive ability to generate furies. But her furies are Buffs, not passive effects. The ability is passive, meaning it is always on, but that has no bearing on the kinds of effects the ability produces.
The "fix" or "change" isn't live yet. It's in 25.1, which I at least don't have available to download yet.
Is anyone able to take some time to check the current state in 25.0, screenshots and/or video, then compare that behavior after 25.1?
That would be the easiest way to track if they truly changed something, or merely fixed something.
If his Combo Shield can now be Nullified, Stagger, Spite, Dormo, etc then Rank Down Tickets along with Sig Stone should be issued for Summoners. This is a major change and has zero clarification, which is par for the Kashame course. Y’all just post some half written trash then watch as the community flips out and let us burn. Can someone at your company please attend some Customer Service training and actually treat your customers with some respect?
1 - Create a champ that counters a problem in game and make lots of hype
2 - Sell the champ to players and make bank
3 - Sell resources to players for ranking up and make more bank
4 - Wait until most have done this and it has reached saturation point
5 - Slowly tinker, bug and lower the effectiveness of the champion to make it less useful.
6 - Rinse, repeat
And with the greatest of respect to everyone here, they could care less about what we say since we will still buy Doom, Surfer and beyond.
