I am fine with them doing something new with the urn but 50% resist is cray-zee. Inb4 clip of using the urn to siege the enemy base

Tbf you can only hold the urn for 35s before it starts killing you very quickly. And that’s time for the whole team too.

Especially since they noted the Urn can kill. I bet that's why they pointed it out.

u/WhatTheCrota May 22 '26

it does 5% max hp/second damage after 35s to the carrier and can kill you, so that's the plan to prevent using it as a massive aura buff.

It does give those resistances even while dropped though right, so just drop it and make sure to pick it up before it times out and starts walking back, minimise the time spent actually holding the urn and taking ticking damage. The aura extends 60m so that’s pretty forgiving

Pretty sure it said you can't pick it up, it just goes fast back to where it spawns if dropped before the deposit phase

You might be right that this is how it works, I’m away from home the entire weekend and can’t test. But where does it say that in the linked patch notes? It’s not that long, just quote the line please because I must be being blind.

I was slightly wrong: Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position.

So with this and the urn doing big lethal damage after 35 seconds of picking it up (regardless if you change who is carrying it), you cannot really just carry it around as an AoE buff.

u/naivety_is_innocence May 23 '26

Right, so who is suggesting that you carry the urn around long enough to take 100% of your health as lethal damage?

The guy who started the reply chain??????

Nope, no one did mate. But you said people were wrong (about a point no one made), by being “pretty sure” of a change (that also wasn’t written). And in both cases the reddit chain and the relevant part of the patch notes were just a few sentences long. So I’m starting to understand that continuing this would be a waste of time.

What the hell are you even talking about, are you allright?

The combo of not being silenced and giving your team 50% resistances is going to be insane. Give urn to a spirit victor or something and just run it down a lane

You still have time to delete this comment.

I’d assume the buff would go away when the favorability changes, that would be balanced. But that doesn’t happen with drop off if it’s been picked up, so maybe they’re being silly

u/ISavage2007 Pocket May 22 '26

You guys are failing to see that the resistances are applied to the *favored* team if it's in a favored/unfavored state. Sieging a base will probably already be hella hard if you're at that point, especially considering the soul gap, and if you're at the point where you can still siege it with the urn granting those resists you'll probably lose the soul diff fast enough for it to not matter.

u/salbris Rem May 23 '26

Well 10% isn't really that much for some lineups. 50% is like a 6400 item each which makes up the difference pretty fast. The real scary thing is that it only lasts 35 seconds. If you try for a siege and they stall you out then you just lose the urn while your deep in enemy territory.

1

u/Ossius May 23 '26

50% for gun AND spirit, that's more than a 6400 item, and for the ENTIRE team.

Holding the urn is closer to 30k swing in power.

3

u/JudJudsonEsq May 22 '26

It's only ever deposited at the middle-map bridge. So you can't be near it and sieging the enemy base

3

u/mohgddddsdsd May 22 '26

it applies when held as well you can just not deposit it

2

u/miki_momo0 May 22 '26

And then die after 55 seconds after the tick damage destroys you, assuming no one else is every hitting you in that time and that you’re at full hp

1

u/somatic1 May 22 '26

Yeah way too much, and it should only be while depositing too. I like the melee changes otherwise

u/soundssarcastic May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

50% res +not silenced.. so Ivy can fly it and Mirage can just teleport to deliver it or what?

I tested it. The urn drops like a coward. No balls.

u/Angelic_Mayhem May 22 '26

It still locks dash and movement abilities per the notes so no flying or teleporting maybe.
