Extremely incompetent....though this is somewhat a good money play. They continously do stuff like this and it brings in good money, you can ask for your refund, but they'll probably do something in game that'll change the sheep minds.
Thanks for your patience while we worked with the team on this. We're currently looking at this Synergy very closely, and measuring if we need to make any adjustments before Hela is released. We didn't expect to have to do this right now, but we don't want to release a Champion or Synergy, and then discover a case where we had to adjust the Synergy later.
We'll let you all know when we have more information.
Here's the extremely important question I have then. Say I get Hela and use the synergy with my Loki to 100% complete LOL, would someone get banned for that? They didn't cheat or exploit a bug. They simply used the designed synergies.
Yes, using this to clear LOL is a known exploit and you will get banned.

This entirely contradicts an earlier statement that this synergy was working as intended. Which is it?
@Kabam Vydious chose his words carefully: the synergy is "as designed" which means using it in that fashion is not an exploit. However, that doesn't mean the synergy doesn't have unintended side effects that would require rebalancing it. Those are two different things.
An exploit is not synonymous with unintended effect. An exploit requires more than that.

By right, you should not be banned. The synergies clearly state that Loki's health would be counted as higher than the opponent given that the enemy is cursed, which would mean his L2 should deal the intended 7% max health. Therefore, as of currently, it is working as stated and if it was not intended to be like this, then you shouldn't be banned because you were not exploiting a bug intentionally; you were only utilising what was stated in the game already.
It's not an easy thing to do. And the 7% is based off of CURRENT health and not TOTAL health. So the more you do it, the less damage it deals. Not to mention you have to maintain that curse from the special 3. I don't see a need to Nerf but then again I'm nowhere near a developer who created this kind of thing. So who knows?

Kabam, this is pretty shocking. You need to give a firm commitment to players before the Hela crystal and arenas are out.
Also, you genuinely need to address why these sorts of things aren’t being picked up before things go out the door.
I really feel for the mods, they’re just put in as a buffer and can’t really provide real information a lot of the time, and it must make their job petty horrendous.
Players get smarter than programmers, players run their mouths. Nerf initiated right after releases. Congrats to all who put in work on LOL. You will not be punished as well you shouldn't.
Every time garbage like this happens you all still are shocked and amazed, unreal how stupid people are nowadays

Fair enough.
It will however create a discrepancy between those that manage to go through LOL before said rebalancing, and those having to go through after. Also not a first in that respect. Having said that, any change will make a ruckus. EIther those that have done it will complain, or those that need to do it still will.

You could say the same thing after the release of Stark spidey though. New champs always come out and some make content easier. Look at ROL before guillotine wolverine didn't have an easy option. Did that unbalance the game? Nope.
I kind of don't want to see this go away. But it's already down the road. So please, for the love of god, make the damage substantial yet still. change it to current health, and cap it at 100k. Don't over compensate like my mother in law does when it's too cold in her bedroom by turning the heat to 80 degrees when 70 will do.
I think 100k max damage is appropriate. I don't think it should be able to drastically bypass LoL caps. Or maybe have that number associated with champ Star and rank level. So a 3 star doesn't do as much damage as a 5 star.
Well apparently he currently has a max damage of 0 lol. Seriously what kind of testing is done at Kabam? This isn't a ridiculous question to ask. We are all mostly paying customers, and I for one am a huge paying customer so I think I'm entitled to know what the heck you guys are doing over there that there are constant screw ups? I was just about to drop 2K on Hela crystals for this synergy and now I'm not going to spend a dime as this is just another mistake in a long line of mistakes.
I mean Mephisto - Synergy to increase energy damage doesn't work
Blade - Synergy with Sparky isn't working
and I could go back to other new released champs and they all seem to have 1 thing not working as advertised but I really don't want to go back and look at all the notes. Get it together already. It's not funny and as a company you really need to start taking this seriously.
Isn’t this kinda a form of bait and switch from Kabam? You buy into a champ with stated abilities. If they decide to Nerf later isn’t that kinda deceitful. And Kabam wonders why all the hate

Wow what a great idea. I dont like it. Lol
Is actually max HP, not current HP.
It is already like that

Just joking
