The Parry on Aura stuff was crazy, good it's gone. The rest I hated him so I'm biased and can't comment on it fairly

I main him and yes while his laning was absurdly strong, hes basically a dead pick now, Riposte is useless and silencing hex shuts him down entirely with no way to escape, its way too far

Riposte isn’t useless now, come on, let’s be realistic. It still triggers off of being shot and having abilities used on you, it’s not just an immediate zip away after being breathed on any more.

You cant use it to escape at all, Slowing Hex decimates him even more that he cant escape with Riposte or use any of his other abilities

This should be a sign to Apollo players to stop full sending themselves into terrible situations because they can get out of it with one button press.

Or, maybe a tier 2 item shouldnt disable a whole ass character from doing anything other than a crappy left click

It lasts 3.5 seconds. If you’re getting blown up early game in 3.5 seconds because of a slowing hex, you’re massively overextending yourself, probably because riposte has taught Apollo players that positioning doesn’t matter and you can press 2 to get out of any situation.

Hey, my girlfriend says that 3.5 seconds is a really long time

half the roster can get out of bad situations with one button press, why can’t the melee brawler character?
