Hood was one of my favourite champs in the game.
That’s literally what they’ve done to hood
The Fate seal wasn’t a long one , but if they kept the fate seal he would be gaining power like a mad man. Hood hopefully will now be a viable champ instead of a niche champ that everyone apparently used for fate seal.
His core kit is still there; controlling buffs, gaining power , miss mechanics, and more damage. It’s just not realistic to think rebalances don’t go both ways.
I don’t think it’s fair that a champ gets buffed, but I’m pretty sure their data supports their decision.
It’s basically when people were complaining that old man Logan’s regen was a buff instead of passive. No one ever used him that much and the data showed.
He was my first maxed out 4* and was always on my team throughout act 5 and eq when I was starting out. That level of buff control was amazing. The tihing is that ppl are pissed that Kabam traded of his utility for damage and that utility was his core mechanic which was why ppl still used him till date. Plus his invisibility wasn't ever reliable and is now even worse as it seems on paper.
His invisibility basically you get 2 hits and free intercepts. I never used his invisibility because I was afraid of getting caught. We shall see how he does. But I try not to pass judgment until I see it live.
Part of what makes the pervasive RNG in this game tolerable is that there's hardly ever only 1 or 2 solutions to a matchup. The few times there have been, they were dev missteps. If you're in a buff heavy matchup you can choose to prevent them from proc'ing in the first place with Mephisto, Convert to poison or power burn with Voodoo, play keepaway until critical buff level is reached and stun lock with duped Ronan, etc., etc. Until now one of those options has been Keep them indefinitely Fate Sealed with The Hood (+ Ghost synergy value) and now that option is (perhaps) gone.
For me, I don't use Ghost much, so I don't have The Hood on my teams very often. I fill his role with someone that works better with the champs I prefer to use. If Kabam asked me, I would have told them why he doesn't make the squad. I also don't use Mordo or Fixit much and I think their existing kits would be godly if the numbers weren't trash beyond trash.
I ranked this champ up to r5, used an AG and dumped enough sig stones to get him to over sig 150.
It's only fair to allow us to rank down and rank up another champ that still has the abilities we ranked Hood up for.
