I'm holding my cosmic t6cc, will decide if r2 him or not lol
It looks very promising, but I really want to try him out.
The intimidate switch to a passive is subtle but can actually be pretty huge. Intimidate times and pause increase is nice as that should help cut into AI being uncooperative. The Unstoppable not going on CD if you don't touch the opponent is really nice, because that can have strategic applications.
I don't really like the bursts going from physical to energy. I can kind of understand what they're going for here though. I don't hate it, it's just not the direction I would have gone.(Edit: I change my mind, I didn't think about the mystic ramifications. I like this a lot more because it hampers him a little against Mystics and that's a nice touch and is actually something I've been asking for.)Confidence potency increase while limits being scaled down is - I believe still a net gain if my math works out properly.
Would I have absolutely lost my mind if they introduced some sort of scaling resistance tied to confidence, or tied his Unstoppable activation to a confidence value rather than upon activation of an SP1? Yes. But that was me asking/hoping for way too much.
I know it's still subject to change though, so I'm trying not to be too hopeful as we might see this scaled back.
But genuinely, this is some very nice attention Kabam.
Thank you.
I don’t spend in this game to be ‘whelmed.’ I spend to snap necks and cash checks.
where is the, he is still Mid option?
A less wordy comparison.
Current Gladiator:
Limit (No Persistent Charges or Special 3) - 24
Confidence Buffs needed for Ultra Confidence benefits - 24+
Confidence Buffs needed for Super Confidence benefits - 12+
Rebalanced Gladiator:
Limit (No Persistent Charges or Special 3) - 25
Confidence Buffs needed for Ultra Confidence benefits - 20+
Confidence Buffs needed for Super Confidence benefits - 10+
I just don't get it, he doesn't bring anything new to the table just more damage which is fine for a regular champ but for a Summoner's Choice winner? Nah.
Ps. Even if you did want incinerate, Hyperion already exists and is waaay better.
Edit: if you were being sarcastic that one totally went over my head 💀
Recent experience suggests that can be problematic.
Dr. Zola
- Long/specific special animations
- the special hits shouldn't ideally crit that's to say "don't go against guaranteed crits or high crit chance"
- the special shouldn't apply DOT effects
- the special shouldn't remove his confidence buff( this might seem intentional cause mystics have the type advantage but certain nodes can do that even without a mystic defender)
IT IS SIMPLY TOO LIMITING
The 80% damage reduction might seem good on paper but I have seen the gameplay and if the opponent crits they get thru a major chunk of the resistance.
There's literally only ONE thing he does that no one else can (special counter burst) and THAT should have been the main focus of his buff, and yet it's still sloppy.
They should have given him either indestructible or debuff immunity instead of just resistance.
Personal opinion: I think they should just move the white tiger synergy into his base kit, it's most probably not happening but if they're doing nothing to improve his unique form of damage, they should atleast give him some great overall damage
So till his buff goes live to public, I won't be too happy now
@Kabam Miike I hope you will hear us)
Good luck
