Not actually that hyped. All these broken cards just means the TTK is going to be halved and some champions are going to shit on everyone else. Introducing so many drastic changes at the same time is going to result in a clusterfuck, what are they thinking?

Maeve is still gonna be so fucking strong though isn't she.

Pounce has a cooldown of 10s now. But hitting Q while having that pounce cooldown reduction card will still let you instantly pounce someone a second time right?

It's like in smite, they have character that they will never nerf even if they deserved it, or that they will randomly buff even if they don't need it.

pip was already super strong as a flanker with acumen + side tanks.

the explosive flask legendary card will make it even better.

Don't worry, here's the latest extremely easy PvE strat: just find a guy to queue up with, one goes max cooldown on heals Mal'Damba, the other a frontline. The fronltine buys Rejuv 3, Blast Shields, just rushes the point and shields as much as he can. Meanwhile, Mal gets Chronos 3 and lobbing Gourds and Mending Spirits from the crack in the wall onto the point.
It doesn't matter how retarded the other 3 people are, you're gonna win.

Drybear did actually say some stuff about an event after the patch comes out. I think he said "save your gold" so they'll probably discount the radiant chest for awhile after the patch

>>168631728
There is a ton of stuff like that already in the game though. 2 seconds is a pretty small window. The 3 second cards makes a big difference, surprisingly.

They really need to allow stacking of certain speed effects for characters. Could make for some more interesting builds.

Drogoz: 3
Evie: -2
Fernando: 2

yea i would take down bk to 4 probably but deleting all shields can be fucking ridiculous. torv, koa, ruckus, and nando beware.

File: Makoa.jpg (38KB, 373x353px) Image search: [Google]

38KB, 373x353px

I would like to take this moment to mention how ridiculous his Makoa's Half Shell talent is on paper. 16s cooldown on Shell Shield. With Barrier Reef 4, and people destroy it, that's -8s. Then with Choronos 3, that's another -4.8s. Since it's no longer channeled, the cooldown ticks away as it's deployed. This means, if your team is turtled up and enemy is forced to shoot it down, if they don't destroy it in under every 3.2s, you basically have a permanent indestructible shield, and you can move around and do other things during it. The counter to that is to not shoot it, but then if you have Ancient Resolve 4, that gives you 6 seconds to do whatever you want to the enemy team.

>>168645017
>heals an insane rate
worthless when you have a team who does no damage.

>>168631615
Señor, I will never forget you.

>BK can take the whole shield from Torvald by pressing Q

Literally unplayable, you mas as well throw the match if you get matched up against a BK. Almost the same with Barik, he can even fuck up your ult by pressing Q.

What is the wisest way to spend crystals and gold as a new player? Gold for champs Crystals for Radiant Chest?

FAST DROGOZ IS BEAST

>>168646779
don't ever spend crystals on anything you can get with gold is really the only requirement

>>168646779
Save crystals for skins you really want or counter jew and wait for skins to go on sale

>>168646272
Oh boi the last stretch

>>168647097

I don't care much about cosmetics, net yet at least. And it seems if I wanted to buy everything with gold it will take a lot of time.

Rarity - Cost
Common - 500
Rare - 1250
Epic - 5000
Legendary - ???? (They're all unlocked on PTS)

Can't currently buy chest with gold and they didn't import new accounts so I don't have any crystals to see how much you get out of a chest.

>>168647357
Buying a champ and playing them for like 5 or 6 matches has them pay or nearly pay for themselves, buy cards for the characters you like and save the gold for radiants this coming patch.

>>168647357
I'd say champions + cards would take 60-70 hours of playtime with gold only
It took me 100-ish because here and there i spent some gold on some gold-purchasable skins

member Cassie?
member Androxus?

>>168648410
movement speed affects air speed actually, thats why nimble is a good card for drogoz

also its a vry good move to nether step into the ground because you have more acceleration to adadad strafe. in the air you're vulnerable.

despite all of this 2 seconds isn't that good tho maybe with extra dashes its alright. deceleartion from that 2sec wearing off might be bad for your aim. overall its an interesting card

Nah, it would require things like Hi-rez not hating tanks, and it will never happen.
Also, Barik's shield is 'deployed' too in some way, but it still counts as shield.

Rarity - Essence for duplicate
Common - 60
Rare - 250
Epic - 1250
Legendary - ????

I spent 25k gold and got 2740 spirit

okay you can buy essence on PTS. here's the breakdown:

3000 gold for a radiant chest. i bought 20 chests and got just about 10k essence. you average 500 essence per chest at the level of unlocks I am (it might be different for a new player vs old player, not sure). so the conversion is

1 essense costs 6 gold.

when some cards cost 5k essense, this means that those cards now cost 30k gold. WTF?!

>>168652651

Which aren't very good either. His damage got nerfed twice in the same patch.

Speed card isn't fast enough and you give up damage and fire spit. The guy showing it was even using maxed wyrm jets.
Direct hit damage bonus looks bad, it's really hard to land a direct hit as Drogoz and you have to be really close while also being slow.
Fire spit is good and probably the only usable.

>>168653438
So, what do I need to buy before the patch?

>>168652350
You are able to do so now, it was disabled before PTS went down I think

The introduction of legendaries is great.

Now instead of just arguing over which character is the best/worst we can also argue over which legendary is the best/worst.

The sole issue is that it adds even more things that will need to be balanced.

Nice. So for S1 we should save every radiant chest but spend the gold on cards because they are more expensive if you convert gold to essence.

Nerfing base rocket damage and removing thrust bonus means you've lost about 1/4 of your damage right there. With Fusillade you're barely doing more than before, and that's only on a direct hit.

you might want to buy every card in the game. don't buy just anything that's not terrible because cards can change in the future. my current numbers suggest the most expensive cards cost over 26 times more than on the live servers, and NO CARD is cheaper. the cheapest cards are 500 essence which is about 3k gold, like 3x the amount on live servers.

the most hilarious and horrifying thing about all of this is that full flank + damage teams are very likely going to be a thing
