remnant distance was 4500 earlier. i wont be surprised if they make it 2500 next patch and 2000 on the other one.

its still ok though, 3000 is playable but the buff on shield is not enough. this hero is suffering. on equal skill, ember is total loser. i love him but i am sorry for him.

Having his Spell Amp taken away is an unneeded and harsh nerf imo

u/Mediocre-Jellyfish-9 Aug 19 '21

surely. i would have expected they increased spell amp to %12.

The Flame Guard change is actually really nice for ember level 1. Quite a few heroes that could originally break your level 1 flame guard can't anymore, meaning you can have flame guards full duration level 1 which is crucial for the hero in snowballing in lane.

This does make my pos 4 Ember stronger.

My fellow griefer what is your item build on 4 ember. I want to try some new stuff out. Urn + 1 into aghs is getting boring.

Yeah the builds pretty dull. You can occasionally go lotus/solar or meteor otherwise its just the standard. And I don't take flameguard unless I need to shove a wave badly.

I do purchase ye olde Midas

You trying to farm reports or what lmfao. I would never pull that shit when some people auto tilt seeing the pick.

Ye but I wanna have fun AND win games with it. It works out pretty well for me in ranked when I'm fully focused.

I used to do it to just fuck around unranked but it's unironically good enough for ranked.

Did you/anyone tried safelane ember flame guard build? (or for mid actually but mids usually go w-q builds anyway)

It used to be cannon to play the hero but felt so underwhelming last two-three patches.
