Kabam didn't mention anything, is the change intentional?
They said the problem was it didn't say that damages were magic. Nothing else
Then nvm
Then the ability reduction was 85% (white % fixed) for the longest time.
The week before Hood is the basic champ the ability reduction is now 65% (white % fixed).
He deals 85% damage when Hex epires.
Thats what it is in his zpotlight. Maybe he was always like that, but the text ingame was bug, and then it got fixed
Ext is right, 56% is the correct number and should always be like this
Pre-12.0, Hood had a boostable 56% (green %) chance, this was very powerful because of Quake.
Kabam changed the % to 85% (white %) after the 12.0 update, this % could not be modified by Quake.
Now the % is 65% (white %) after the 14.0 update.
Hood, and obviously his spotlight, reflect pre-12.0 stats. The fact that he's gone to 85% and then 65% since 12.0 tells me that there's no way that 56% is still the correct value.
85% was incorrect. That's what was fixed in his text. During combats, he reduced enemy's ability accuracy by 65%.
The only thing wrong was his text. Nothing changed on him besides that
Can I ask how you can be certain that Hoods abilities have not been altered "nerfed". Or changed without notification in any update patch notes. What is your reference?
If you compare the original spotlight to the current description of Hoods abilities, I can't find any patch notes that explain the differences. there was a time when Kabam made an effort to keep players informed of any character updates/changes before the updates went live.
Unannounced changes as to how champions perform can't be tolerated by the player base.
Can you please provide the update and patch notes that clarify this? Also they adjusted his crit dmg boost from 105% increase to 67% effective increase before CR. We know they reduced his siphon from 15% of his attack to basically nothing.
I assumed the increase def abil reduction to 85% was to neutralize the impact of the other changes.
Again if I Just missed the notes regarding these changes, I'd appreciate any help in locating them.
"Fixed text error in The Hood’s Special 2 description"
Beat me to it.
Im asking, prior to August 1 changelog, is there another changelog or announcement that Hoods SP 2 was being changed? Or any of the other changes that have been made to him?
That was the text error. He causes 85% damage when hex expires, so when that damage was replaced for flat values, the text changed and that happened.
Now is working as intended
I've seen enough Kabam Shadiness to know that half of what they tell us is either misinformation or straight out lies.
Yes, you might try reading the update notes:

Unless there is research and trials performed pre 14.1 to test if it really was 85% instead of 65% then we have to go back to it just being a text issue in the game files itself.
Kabam changed Hood's Hex % three times during the past, and only mentioned a "typo" one time.
Kabam shouldn't be changing champions so much, it's a form of bait and switch, similar to the 12.0 scandal.
Why do players keep referring to the 14.1 Update when the description was changed in an earlier update? I am not willing to accept the possibility that Kabam employees edit character descriptions unless a change was made by the game team. The reason I treat this as a serious issue is that I now have 2 featured 5*s that were weakened after I made the decision to buy the crystals. I also had the pleasure of having my top 4 champs nerfed by 12.0. So Please understand that Kabam betrayed a lot of players trust and things like this "visual bug" bring a lot of bad feelings back
They didn't work that hard to though...if it was not fixed until the last update yet he has been out since 12.0 then that tells me that it was low priority and only recently corrected. Either way I have had him 5/50 since I got him near when he originally came out and there has been no noticeable change in his abilities. If anything I believe it has probably increased (which would validate the story of it being increased from 56% to 65%). It never processed anywhere close to 85% which makes me believe it was a typo.
