Hate to break it to you, but your stagger was saving you in that not your fate seal , with his buff that fate seal will not be necessary. It happens in this video consistently. Your video literally proves my point , he will have way more staggers and more damage.
Sure he could be a great damage dealer, but what you don't seem to get it that people know he's worse because he doesn't have what made him so good anymore, no amount of damage can replace utility.
But then again if they did that you’d instantly change your stance on the matter
I don’t have significant resources in hood.
I do however have resources invested in champions with other niche uses, like Ronan.
When they announced their buff schedule I never considered champions like hood, Angela and masacre for a buff, so clearly the bar has been set pretty high for champs that aren’t requiring a buff, which puts other champions with niche uses in line for a buff.
I am simply here to try and make it clear to Kabam that when they’re buffing champs that have niche but commonly used uses, like Ronans stun lock, or Gladiator Hulks face me, they should build upon their original ability set, not remove parts of it for different abilities.
If they insist on scrapping some of their key abilities, then rank down tickets should be provided for those that will no longer have use for the changed champion.
If they cannot atleast give us this guarantee then they will have damaged the health of the game as any champion that isn’t rated top 3-5 in their class Will suddenly be ranked up a whole lot less as people would be worried about having the ability set gutted and changed to something they don’t need.
People say he is not an Annhilus counter anymore and it’s just simply not true. He puts a stagger on him and nullifies the buff. This lets me know people are confusing the line between how certain interactions happen in the game and how they are affected.
So now that Annhilus is out the way, what else does Fate seal handle ? Resistor nodes? That’s a layup node. Champion boss? See previous vide.
I’m just concerned people don’t know what they are losing versus what they are gaining and can’t tell the difference.
Champions that, Imo, aren't 100% out of the question for future updates. At least not 100% enough for me to be confident in them staying untouched. With this update to Hood, I just can't be certain any longer that Kabam will leave my investment in those champions alone. They could lose any and all value they had to me at any time.
And a few words on the Mags/OML comparisons being made by some in this thread:
Oml would only work as a comparison to Hood if hood had had his fateseal replaced with a Buff immunity debuff or a normal Fate seal debuff. Or, the other way around, if Oml had actually lost his regen completely. You can say this is where you draw the line for champion changes, but if this was the line, Hood'd be over seven mountains beyond it.
Mags lost his sp3 tank. But, afair, his damage cap was like 20% of his max health. That's better than dying to an sp3, but in a fight where you tank one sp3, you're likely to tank several more, especially with a noodle like og magneto. That's as if Hood's fateseal had only applied on every 3rd sp2 and only had a 50% chance to nullify and prevent buffs.
The healblock on the other hand was just transferred to a synergy, as well as the 105% heal reduction against metal. He's honestly a better healblock champ than he used to be. That's as if Hood's fateseal had been replaced with Buff immunity on his sp2, but only against cosmics, but with the right synergy, his heavy still applied the hexseal.
This is a direct attack to those that use Ghost paired with Hood to mitigate Recoil damage and also fight Cosmics in the path (against whom Ghost has class disadvantage). Let's stop beating around the bush and hiding behind our fingers. Now, you have to take another Mystic with you, making Ghost even more unpractical to use.
It also affects, certainly, players who ranked up Hood as a stand-alone champ. They are also fully entitled to complain since the core mechanics of the champ are affected.
I’ll give it one last go. I don’t care how much damage hood gets. If he doesn’t get a lot, it’ll be a bitter moment- that kabam removed his ability for no reason. If he does get a lot, I still won’t care, it’ll still be dangerous that they removed utility, and I would be worried that kabam could take any champion I want to rank up that aren’t the top in their class, and change them.
They way you’re talking kind of suggests to me you may not be towards the end of the game, and that is absolutely fine. (Of course it’s fine if you are, but really you should know by then) But you seem to be prioritising damage over utility, utility is more important. All the damage in the world is useless if your opponent kills you in 10 seconds because you don’t have the utility to deal with it.
Not to mention we have lots of damage dealers in the game, Hood getting mediocre damages will not make up for the lack of utility, hood getting insane damage will not make up for the lack of utility. I am now worried to rank up my Gladiator Hulk, my Ronan, my Mysterio, because what if kabam change the face me, stun lock or poison immunity I rank them up for? What am I supposed to do, an end game player with almost every big damage champion in the game at 5* r5 and CGR, Ghost, Doom, Nick etc all at 6* r3? I don’t care if Ghulk gets some burst damage, I wanted to use his face me.
And I don’t care if hood gets burst damage, I wanted to use his buff control
