Ronin Changes

Masterpuff · June 2021

Uhhhhhh this may be the smallest and most useless buff ever, maybe even more so than Nova.

I mean he didnt need it, but this seems like Kabam noticed 2 days before the update “Whoops we didnt do an update” and they chose to do almost nothing to Ronin.

Kinda annoying but I still love him

(and he is still better than Elsa)

Yeah, this one kind of sucks. Disappointing

Masterpuff · June 2021

WAIT WHAT THE **** THEY ADDED A COOLDOWN TO HIM ON CRUELTY VS BLEED IMMUNE

DualityCope · June 2021

This buff is not it

MrInsanity · June 2021

Maybe wait to try him? surely Kabam wouldn't mess up a buff for the third time (counting Hood and Nova)

No_oneuk · June 2021

This feels kinda like the human torch buff tbh. Maybe even smaller.

SpideyFunko · June 2021

the cooldown to his cruelty vs bleed immune champs baffles me

ItsDamien · June 2021

Link?

pseudosane · June 2021

yeah where is the link?

As a Ronin master i can confirm i am very pissed off.

He got:
Slightly more damage(SMALL), less cruelty buildup vs bleed immune, shorter furies that are a tiny bit more potent, aar that still kinda sucks, and a slightly better sig.

Meh another lazy buff. Those who liked him before will still like him but those who didn't won't use him now.

Please Kabam stop these lazy buffs. You could have added most of this through a synergy or something.

Good thing this buff doesn't affect me anyways

I miss tune ups like Angela’s. Tune ups don’t need to be this little, they can transform champions but kabam keep playing it safe and keeping it small.

I don’t necessarily mind updates like that, but it just leaves me a bit like eh, ok? I’m still not gonna really use them.

Angela’s tune up was exciting. This isn’t.

I saw something floating around that was increased sp3 fury duration, some more aar, and no miss when he had a cruelty. But this… Is worthless.

Okay yeah I just saw the buff notes.

I get doing value updates is the quickest and easiest method of giving a champ extra, but Kabam really need to think about what that "extra" is. This is so minor that it's almost not worth marketing as a buff.

What are your early thoughts on better or worse, I know there’s the cooldown now which makes cruelties worse against bleed immune, but overall would you say he’s got better, worse, or have they just taken him sideways? (As in, better at one part at the expense of another)

Yea many of us are more excited for the buffs than champion releases mainly cuz most of the champion releases have been disappointing. Then Kabam comes out with these buffs which is meh. I mean Ronin is already good but if you chose to take another champions place who actually need tune-ups and buff an already decent champion, atleast do it properly.

We need more tune ups like this even if the champs are good just adding things will be so nice where even though small like angela it would seem huge when playing

Torch's update was pretty needed ngl. Just that little tweak to his temperature gain actually made him to what he is today and allows him to charge his temperature around limber mastery, making him a staple in war.

I’m more excited for buffs than champion releases not because they’re disappointing, but because I have some of these champions in my roster rather than waiting 3 months for a chance in the featured Crystal.

Maybe againts Thing who knows...

" Thing removes 3 Rock Stack(s) when he would receive a Bleed. This can’t occur more than once every 2 second(s). "

You wish. They're equal. The buff would have put him further but its too minor

Idk but now Elsa's probably better in terms of damage against bleed immune champs.

slacker · June 2021

And here i thought they gonna remove the cruelty consume ability....

The most challenging part of playing Ronin is getting in/out of those stances and that didn't change. You have to do this at least 7 times to get to his precision buff and start seeing really good damage. This is disappointing.

Pretty much the same. He lost part of a mechanic i loved, but his updated sig is kinda cool. Honestly not happy, I would rather have no new sig and his old bleed immune mechanic. He was my go-to for Thing.
