I like how every time Blizzard makes TLV free, they also make Kael free. They're such trolls haha

Balance Patchis out today. I'm starting to think Blizzard devs are like CSGO devs that don't actually play their own game and have no idea what they're really doing, or know what they want lol

KT got nerfed so can't complain that much. However they aren't fixing the fundamental problem I have with the game where it is extremely, extremely blow-up and burst. When I first started loving this game in alpha fights were drawn out and it took a ton of focus to kill even an assassin. Anymore even tanks can take such a trucking from AP that they can die to a pretty simple combo.

I think the changes are okay, but it is kinda weird that they're making Jaina more bursty. No changes to Li-Ming is kind of a wtf, but they're still working her apparently. Minor nerfs to Rehgar should make him less godlike.

I think it makes sense because they want the mage archetype to suck at AD and excel at AP. But like I said above the game currently favors AP.

Right. I was agreeing with you. Jaina's combo could already blow up squishies if she gets the drop. So I didn't see the need to improve her burst.

But I guess I could see a future where auto attack assassins are favored over mages for prolonged objectives like Battlefield of Eternity?

I think fundamental changes would have to be made. Right now APC are basically erasers. At the very worst you're going to trade 1:1. So now an APC can jump on someone, erase them and back and you're now in a 4v5 scenario. Since the game favors deathballing and everyone being grouped I can't think of a reason you wouldn't want to grab an APC and just blow someone up. Unless the ADC is wildly overpowered like Raynor was.

Not nerfed enough, they missed the one fundamental thing that she can still outrange towers, sgt. hammer etc.

How they didn't nerf her Q and W range by ~25% or so is kind of mind boggling.

Li-ming nerf's will help a little.. but not much. IMO, they need to reduce the range on everything. She does too much damage with 100% safety. Also, increase teleport cool-down to like 15 seconds with some talent to lower it.

Also, the Anub shield buff is a joke. 40 shield increase at 20 (55 with 40% talent). Not sure why they think that will make any noticeable difference at all. They need to boost that significantly more, imo.

You would need to make Calamity @ 7 reduce the cooldown by like 10 or 11 seconds if they did this otherwise her teleport build is complete trash.
