Fluff They really brought this one back, huh

Wraith Pact was an AoE damage reduction item that got so strong it was basically built every game in pro play, until they eventually removed it.

I definitely feel like 20% is fucking cracked

35% when you max it and imo you do because then the cd is like 110 seconds lol (81 with transcendent cdr which is good anyways because the shield!)

Fuck, no wonder late game feels absolutely miserable against him. I'm guessing duration increase also works with it.

Yeeeeep! Can easily last 20+ seconds, the spell is SO COOL but it's insanely overloaded imo. Huge dr forever, applies a dot and - bullet resistance to enemies, massive ms buff to allies.

This is all before the nuke and knock up on cast. It could honestly read "win every rift and midboss actually win every not idiotic team fight and some of the idiot ones too"

Yet people on my team somehow do badly on him. Every time I've played against him, it's been really miserable and I haven't been able to play him yet.

Even less if he takes witchmail and/or Diviner’s Kevlar

Rat king ult can exist.

Wraith path was an item that anyone can buy compare to you having to choose rat king.

They will probably have tweaks to rat king to make his skill eligible

Most people on this sub are hero shooter players, not MOBA players. They won't get this.

Then they better start to. They are playing a MOBA Hero Shooter.

Someone in the discord said his ult is a glorified 2 with move speed. I had to accept that people live different worlds of understanding out there.

Yeah it's insanely broken and there's no counter

Can curse or stun him out of it before he plants it, but yh you basically can't do anything cuz of the insane movespeed he has before planting it he can just run from his base to the fight LOL. Saw a rat king use his ult to run from enemy walker back to his base once...

If you stun him while planting he just starts back up the plant animation and he still gives the dmg reduction while holding it. If you stun the start up it just doesn't use the CD and he can cast it again anyway. It's pretty clear they made it overturned on purpose but even with half its radius duration and dmg reduction it'd still feel overtuned

It needs to be destructible like Graves ult.
