Why was pre 12.0Thor good?

[Deleted User]

Seems like he was beyond god, but I cant find anything stating how good was he. Older players, y’all know anything?

His armour breaks used to stack infinitely, which meant you could parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-SP3 and kill anyone outside of ROL in a single blow.

Since then, Diminishing Returns has reduced the vulnerability caused by negative armour; and he only inflicts two stacks, so he's got a substantially lower damage cap.

Also, there are now shrug-off champs, armour-break-immune, stun-immune champs and so on. Thor hasn't any way to manage them; nor any immunities. So he's a lot less appealing than he used to be.

For raw damage though, he's actually still a solid contender; just nowhere near as good as he used to be.

I’m dumb, can you please explain how that works?

Way back in the day, bleed and poison damage scaled with armor break as well. So you could parry a suicides champ to death. Only thing you had to watch out for was Willpower, which was WAY more broken back then and basically made 80% of champs unviable for minis and bosses in war. Back in the days when Rhino and Jugg were super good on defense....

Seems you like you never used him

You must be fun at parties.

You do realise that both videos posted to demonstrate how powerful he was use exactly that strategy of parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry-parry...
