The Bellona Problem :: Sodsboy's Blog

+Rep | Report

I've been trying for a good while now to get used to I touched her briefly in S3 and took her for a spin in Season 4 where I'm saying she's falling drastically. It's a shame that....She's being forgotten....Again. (PUNS!)

But for the most part the problem I see with her is that she wasn't the "I can box you for days mate!" With crit being so prominent she cannot box many people and being herc then what's the point?

Another major issue I'm coming across is her takes so long to wind up and it's rather annoying. The fact that it takes like 1-2 seconds to secure bot forms of damage can be quite annoying and if the enemy has got CC then good luck landing the slam.

And her Oh my word...Can this be anymore pointless. Oh yeah, 50 health. That'll help you in a boxing situation. Sure we can consider the 2.2 second disarm rather useful and the damage is rather nice but it's less then her so I wonder at times whether I should just max her 1 over her 3 to at least get reliable damage.

So what can we do to help her out?
Firstly, we need to adjust the wind up of so it doesn't take a month and a half to slam someone into the ground. Secondly buff her healing on her 3 so that it actually provides some form of effect. Add scaling to the damn thing for all I care at least make it somewhat useful. Her ult is perfectly fine and her passive is great for boxing but the rest of her kit needs a tweak. And as always...

I think bellona got a bit overnerfed tbh, and with the changes on the meta and some warriors rising to the top ( ), she got a bit disfavored now. About speeding up i think it isn't a good idea because that's a way to counter her good lane clear, but maybe a knock up/knockback immunity just to make it not that easy to interrupt. Imo they could just revert the nerf to disarm ( it was 3s now it's 2.2s ) and maybe the nerf to the bonus damage of ( was 30%, now 25% ), then she would be fine.

I said the same thing about the CC Immunity for that ability, but in reality if you do it for one, you're gonna have to do it for all...'s reacts the same way as does to CC.

The CC immunity just effects so many things in the game that if they did that... would have to be change to a Jump so it would react correctly against other God's Ultimates such as, , , etc.

Yeah, but you can use more safely because of it's higher range, so maybe it probably wouldn't be op if had some immunities ( not for all cc, but for one or two ).

Hey Sodsboy,

In my opinion, I don't think it's falling, it's more of other Warriors like , , (arguably) are just really strong right now and in the spotlight.

It’s not really a time issue with , I mean it does do AoE while she is spinning which is good…the issue is she can get CC’d out of it very easily just like and her . I really don’t think there is much to change there to be honest besides maybe CC immunity, which would be overpowered.

Now with . The Healing on it is a minor aspect of the actual Ability. is more focused around Disarming the enemy which is helpful in taking Hunters/Auto Attackers out of the fight for a couple seconds. Yeah the Heal on it could see a little love, but it’s not the focal point of that Ability.

At the end of the day, has a Passive that Stacks Protections and Movement Speed, a 35% Slow in , a 2.2s Disarm in , an Area of Effect and Bonus 25% Slam Damage on each Enemy God hit in and a 1s Stun in that’s a pretty insane kit with a lot of tools at your disposal.

I think she is still a strong pick, but she’s just having trouble finding her place in S4 right now.

Bellona used to be really strong, I wonder what happened.
