I was pretty impressed, if they leave him alone I’ll use him a lot more. His damage is good, the utility is great. May not have the fate seal but the rest of his kit seems really good, very suicide friendly.
GIve the fate seal back but on the SP3, remove the bleed. Have the heavy attack refresh/pause shock instead of bleed. The bleed never made sense on his kit or identity as a mystic anyway. Bullet into burst mechanic seems fun and bullet generation is better than it looks on paper.
I completely agree with ya. My only other con is the Diablo mechanic. Hood can’t really thrive when he doesn’t have bullets.
ive found it not so difficult to build bullets back up so i wouldn't compare it to diablo. Might take some practice i dunno. I personally havent seen it as a issue yet at least 🤔
How have u been getting bullets outside of buff matchups? any way to maintain em against ROL WS?
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 really hope they admit this 'buff' failed and just revert changes made to him
There are people that ranked up the buffed hood and people who ranked the unruffled hood. Ever way RDTs would be needed for ever of these groups.
Unless they just give him back his Fate Seal. That would avoid a lot of headaches for Kabam.
*Cough* *Cough*
Seriously why can't they just put the Fate Seal back? He still had other minor Reductions that really should be Reverted but the biggest thing was that Fate Seal because if you just get slightly wrong timing on the Rng of the Staggers or the Enemy starts with Permanent Buffs you can't do anything about it.

That’s fair. Bleed long ago was a sought after utility and it’s not needed in his kit. Also you will lose all your damage to keep up a bleed. So I’ll let can be scratched. I guess from designer point they don’t want to bring him to levels of doom and man thing with MD interaction . The fate seal on the SP2 on occasion would have been nice , but definitely got out of fights way quicker .
For me, I never used hood as my main massive buff counter (used doom, claire etc) but just playing him with his new buff. If the regen is correct, he is a much better champ. Not beyond God tier etc etc but a sustainable champ. If they stripped his fate seal for regen, Im ok with it.

I’d be on board with that. Would basically be like Sym Sup

Having to save for a SP3 is much more cumbersome, that shouldn’t have to be necessary.

That’s just it, he “was” definitely a “main” buff counter. But you probably wouldn’t have seen just how powerful unless you frequently ran the Ghost trio...
As a Ghost trio user, Hood being able to do everything you needed from a mystic allowed him to actually be viable and not just a synergy tagalong...
I want to run Ghost, Hood, Wasp...
Not Ghost, Hood, Doom, etc... just cuz Hood can’t straight up nullify anymore...
It is me or i feel like kabam just rework Hood, he's like different champ, that said i wish they keep his core utility
He feels completely different. And after using him for hours today, it’s not just the Hex Seal. It’s a combination of everything. He has a new play style, new strengths, new weaknesses, different uses.... they didn’t give him an update. They took him out and put back something else with the same name.

Agreed, but it’s a compromise I’d be good with...
Like I said, think of Sym Sup. Difference with him is he nullifies everything at fight start as well cuz of the cunning trigger...
Otherwise, most go to sp3 to nullify everything, then start wrecking everything...

But that fits into his rotation perfectly. With Hood, for good damage, you need to fire off sp2 for damage and invisiblity or use an sp3 then. Fate Seal acts as a nullify so it could help keep the bullets topped up.

-Our Hood is new Diablo useless after running out of bullets. -Reloading bullets are tricky. -to get some good burst damage, you have to ramp him up which takes time.
Kabam could have given some fury buffs in his rotation, instead of this useless buffs.

That’s the part they probably think is “Op”, lol
I’m not saying I like it, just saying it’s a compromise I could live with...
You’d still have the fate seal and get the bullet boost, would just take a few extra hits...
Is this a bug or secret rotation? I can reactivate invisibility buff even when the timer is on after dashing back and holding. Don't know how did it happened, but after sometime it stopped.

I switched to MLLLL to preserve bullets
I don’t activate invisibility until right before I throw S2.
There was an issue with Medusa though between unstoppable and fury buffs, one or the other fell through.
