I hope u will get a Hercules soon 🙄
In the end this all comes down to money, which I get it it's a company, but honestly it's just the fact that the nerf was stated to prevent brute forcing from farming revives, but you can still do the same thing by buying the revives. If the intention was genuinely to prevent brute forcing the simplest solution is a item limit, the same as in AQ and AW and if that wasn't the intention (which it wasn't) then transparency is also appreciated.
Do some people actually think we won't need to farm revives if Hercules gets nerfed?
Nothing needs nerfing, the game design philosophy needs revising to make difficult content rather than impossible content and potions need a massive overhaul so they’re actually worth using. As it stands you’re better off using a 20% revive and Herc even in bad matchups because there’s no reason to heal a champion up.
With that being the case, why would you want to use a revive on anyone else? And that's a problem.
Let’s misdiagnose the problem and then offer horrible solutions.
The crux of the problem is that there is a very delicate balance at the moment. The content we are talking about is too hard to compete (too hard IMHO) without an appropriate large supply of revives, backed up with optimal champion selection. And that champion selection often (but not always) includes Hercules because he is a good fit for that sort of use.
If one aspect changes then the others should ideally change accordingly too. Difficulty should be reduced in that content. But it would appear that the solution from Kabam is just to make up the revive shortfall with a combination of the Apothecary and the rest with purchased revives. And we all know that we are talking about a considerable number of potential revives.
