The loss of Hex Seal feels so bad. He was my prime buff control champ and had my favorite kit for dealing with it (a really nice combination of effective + simple). I’ve encountered a bunch of moments already where the opponent has buffs that don’t get caught by staggers, and I have no way of getting rid of them like I could before. This was such a prime aspect to this champion. I know a lot of people are going to think this buff is great because of the damage and different Miss style, but that’s just going to give Kabam the justification that they can continue to alter the identity of a champ to such a degree and people will be okay with it. People might not care now because it’s “just Hood”, but it could be anyone else.
I’m trying to find silver linings about this update, and they’re there in some places definitely, but he’s so different. Hood was my favorite champ but this is someone else. I just can’t really describe how bad that feels.
Now imagine how amazingly we would have received this buff if the Fate Seal had not been touched.
Such a missed opportunity.
Heck, many that bring hood will bring him alongside ghost, and what do you know, a better burst damage champion.
Now you’re bringing probably 3 high damage champs instead of 2 high damage and 1 buff control.
I know I’d prefer having some buff control over high damage for many paths.
The irony is it's not even that good. You can try him in v5.3.2 on aggressive fury®en path vs war machine. Take hit or two in block and try to go back to full hp. With champs like sorceress, dorm, gr and BWCV, who all have more reliable regen and buff control.
Also his invisibility didn't trigger few times on first hits for me there.
Overall that path is pretty good for hood, but imo pre nerf hood was better. The second fight there is htd, and not being able to remove all his armors may even mean you have lower damage output. While he definitely should be better now for that specific path at least
Kabam will say it is “not working as intended”.
If they don’t tell us now, they will in a month.
Wait to rank him.
Even Namor wasn’t that good and they nerfed his regen.
Hate the change (other than the healing that is “not working as intended” and will go away).
He is no longer the same champ.
Please provide Rank Down Tickets.
I find it hard to believe that the fate seal would really change anything/make him omegabusted but I'm really liking this rework so far.
