    Gotta love how everyone swears they need him just for his buff control, but they still wouldn’t rank up duped DS that does that without even having to use a special.

    I would. 🧐

    It wasn't the update but that they changed the kit drastically and effectiely made him a completely different character, which sets a dangerous precendent as it might happen to other champs
    I mean isn’t Magneto a completely different character?

    Right on with that. I'm a King Groot fanboy and he does put in some work although I wish I had a higher rarity Ibom for that sweet synergy. OG Vision also is pretty dope and has a cool synergy with Aarkus and SW Sigil (If she ever comes out) I would even go as far as to say OG Vision, Ronan, and Loki are fine as is and Dorm/KG could barely use a damage tune up. I think we can all agree though that Wandavision has made us all want a Vision AOU overhaul or YJ type update.
    I am a big KG fan, surprising I know, and after the hood buff I was also worried what it could mean for someone like him. Also, I have been recently using the ibom and manthing synergy with KG especially for places like v6 and even some act 7 and it is a huge benefit and also adds something I've wanted which is an easier way to gain furies

    I feel you missed or didn't read the announcement they made regarding this.
    Mate I doubt they’ll give that insane damage and invisible with a fate seal
  • HdhjssvvHdhjssvv Member Posts: 55

    ...he angrily bawled, much like a...crybaby?

    Wait, something doesn't add up.

    Mate I completed the whole game. the hood was super fun to use and now he’s gone it’s pretty sad I couldn’t care less about needing the buff to clear content it was just fun very fun

    Were ya playing him duped or unduped cuz he was pretty bad unduped and that was his version without the bugged bullets
    I’ve got duped but even still with the unlimited invisible it really didn’t matter it was insane not thinking about dodging specials and cheesing fights without taking a single hit

    This was one of my points exactly...

    We're not talking about DS. We're talking about Hood. Who is part of one of the strongest trios in the game, that they took his strongest ability from for no reason. An ability that allowed him to fulfill a major role without sacrificing a pretty major synergy.

    And yes, DS suffers from pretty much the same fault as Hood, damage. Do they need to strip his whole kit to fix damage? No...

    I absolutely love DS. He's the OG. But the Squad is Ghost/Wasp/Hood, not Ghost/Wasp/DS...

    if the squad was the latter and they changed him the same way by adding dmg, but negatively effecting or stripping his core, I'd be in this forum fighting the same way.

    Again, that was the negative impact for me, and I'm sure many others, to include those that didn't run him with Ghost, etc... but he was their nullifier...

    Stop with the comparisons to other champs. Obviously the peeps that complained were peeps that actually chose Hood to fill the role for them. Of course there's going to be backlash when said role is no more.

    Side Note: You know what they did to "fix" DS? Made Sym and Sorcerer Supreme, lol.
    Yea i 100% agree. For me this feels like 12.0 but the opposite. Yes DS was so op but Hood was not too op he was perfect minus damage.

    I was replying to the statement that if a champion has mechanics that allow them to heal back way more than suicides remove players should know that is OP. There are cases where that's not true, or at least the developers don't think it is true. Angela was just the obvious example of such.
    @DNA3000 I know very well about angela since I have her as a 6 star duped. People saw "regen" "OP" from my post and went with it. We have lots of champs that mitigate recoil damage. Namor somewhat, darkhawk gains 10% every time you change stances are some. My point was the developers will not leave a regen that comes from doing nothing but basic combo without any trade off like power or damage. Even Angela does not have that insane regen. With max recovery mastery, I think it comes to 5-6 % of her health. But remember that it is not instant and it is not stackable. You cannot get back to full health even with that regen, you can mitigate recoil damage but cannot reverse that. Unlike the regen on Hood, which as people showed, can have you finish with a almost full yellow bar even with full suicide masteries. That was why it was OP, not because it was simply a regen.

    Does DS also make Ghost take zero damage while phasing? Bc if not, I don't care as that doesn't help on a 3 champ team

    I know right, pretty easy to see. That’s why we said rethink the bullet strategy, keep the regen but make it not at strong, implement fate seal on SP2. That’s the perfect Hood and I’m sure once they go back to the drawing board he will be closer to what will make everyone happy.

    This would be perfect, I was pretty excited with 2.0 + regen it made him feel suïcide friendly like bwcv.

    I would have much preferred if they kept the new hood with just fate seal readded on sp2, he was finally a playable pg in end game content and as a ghost player i truly liked the new invisibility. Let's hope with the re-release of the buff he still will have high enough damage to be used outside those few specific fights where he snines.

    The fate seal isn't that important for the character of the hood it is much more valiant to think of him as a human being who accidentally found boots and cape which enabled him to be invisible. The reason why he was added the fate seal was that he was closely linked to dormammu and Ghost Rider by kabam, thus it was also used for the Hood. The new buff created a Hood that was much more linked to the comic character. In the short time when I had the opportunity to train the new Hood I very soon realized that his utility is by far more preferable than bis former fate Seal. During his invisible he was able to regen and power steel when awakened. A heavy could add bullets to rank up for massiv damage. In his invisibility he could be played like ghost and added up to a invisible cycle that could be used to fight opponents while not creating much damage with light or medium attacs. I loved playing the new Hood also because he was perfectly built to kill act 6.2.6 the champion and steal the indistructible charges. which would have lead to the fact that almost everyone with Hood could reach the next level. I think it was due to this overpowered performance that they decided to start from the scetch not due to the "Bugs" or because a minor group of fans revolted. His regen and power steal made him sucidefriendly and that would lead to lesser buying of potions and healers, to be open, he would have killed every opponent in his way, when played right no matter what prestige. At the same time, he was not immune to debuffs like ghost when invisible what made him vulnerable for champs like Void or Iceman. So in AW Def he wouldn't be invincible, but nevertheless one of the mightiest defenders. I miss the new Hood already and I know that I won't get him back. His playstile was very different from all the other Champs, but at the same time uncontrollable for Kabam. In this very short period Parker Robbins lived truly up to his wish to become a superhuman and to steal from the rich to give ist to the poor and ill (rostered) ;) R.I.P The "real" Hood!
