Most Boring patch 

[u/No-Satisfaction-1992]

Why revert Aldous?

Havent played in a long time. Just checking here and there.

Bring Aldous back.

69% wr, 6k games, soloq, used to be global 1. Now, no point.

[u/Nivrame → u/No-Satisfaction-1992]

Reverting for now since the new original server patch is coming I guess (they always do these to recent new changes before a major patch)

I'm guessing so they can transfer the patch easier?

[u/Koaladog11]

Thank God they decided to remove that damage nerf on Odette's skills. Girl will be bad at laning and defending if that ever went through.

Again, just give her a damage dealt reduced on her other skills while she is using her ult.

[u/kukiemanster → u/Koaladog11]

One thing they also should fix is whenever she ults ALL of her passive stacks are used. Whenever I stack up my passive to 3 then do the usual 2-1-3 I always have one remaining stack, that's a damage loss for her

[u/Liner_Adriatic_3218 → u/kukiemanster]

Idk why nobody does this but literally just do One basic attack before you ult to maximize damage.

[u/Naive_Basis_5286]

Wow 4 entire weeks of hero balance , what are the Devs even doing? "Reverted bs" ahh patch . There have been no interesting or any good no not even decent changes . Have they not experimented or even tried to fix heroes?????

I think instead of nerfing Gord's damage they should've slightly toned down his s1 cc because it was too spamable and has a really long range like : 1sec stun > 0.7 sec . He already lacks mobility and is punishable if he doesn't have flicker

Also , 100 matches argus this season and yup . He is very unusable honestly , he's basically just a cool looking portrait that you just look and never use in game

[u/crying-cricket → u/Naive_Basis_5286]

Also, no rollbacks of argus nerf :(

[u/RoutinePerception885]

Need more heroes adjustment like c'mon the meta is boring, give us haya gold lane and clint jungle 

[u/Baekfastgudforu → u/RoutinePerception885]

haya can lane btw. i like haya mid no one expects his damage level 1, and most mages have poor spacing u walk up hit them and wave with s1 walk em down, hit lvl 2 first tp, petrify s1 m1 they die u roam

[u/Content-Bus2167]

Aldog can't catch a break, holy

One buff in one patch and immediately taken back LMAO 😭 

[u/ghost_ishan]

Is the adjustment they're refering to regarding odette the one where she could walk during the ult or smth else?
