Ah Muzen Cab thoughts.

Yea this is crazy, do they not test these new gods?
he needs to be removed until they fix him, at this point its a race to see who gets him. it laughable

I think the best way to nerf him would be to dramatically increase the cooldown on his hives. Once you get past his mana problems (meditation, transcendence, w/e), there is literally no counterplay for hives. If you try to kill one, he'll punish you with his insane DOTs and immediately place another. It's even difficult for ranged champs to clear hives he is protecting, and for melees it's suicide to even try.

angnam: the problem with higher cooldown for example in arenas is that he is soooo strong if you push other team ... but if you are pushed he is absolutely useless.
But yeah you are right. I think that they should allow less hives or lower range, but this will on the other hand completely change gameplay from most mobile hero to most static hero ...

btw. Does anybody know which nerfs they want to introduce ... I know that they want to add line of sight which will change things dramatically, but I am not sure if its enough. But this will at least force AMC to put them on place which is easier to reach. Maybe if they will connect this with longer cooldown ... for example 12 sec instead of 8 sec and it would be fine ...

its hard to tell..

I think he should be based more on lasting damage from his bees and not on instant damage... His 2 and his ult do way too much damage.

Finally played him when I got matched with him in an assault match, and wow. Dude is insanely easy to play, and yeah, definitely a bit OP. I never had to look at my health once, except for the time I wanted to die to go back and buy stuff, and it took a bit for me to get killed. Granted, the enemy team rarely took down any of my hives, but as soon as they did, I'd pop another right back up. His Swarm is highly devastating, his Honey is easy as hell to get a slow/bees on. And speaking of bees, damn they helped out a lot. Honestly, like a lot of people were saying, I really didn't care much about his ult because I was doing perfect without it. I'd use it every once in a while, but rarely even bothered picking the stinger back up. In that entire match, I died once, mostly because I wanted to, and used a total of 3 HP pots.

He's definitely a fun god to play because his skills are a lot of fun, but I definitely am looking forward to his nerfs. Hopefully these nerfs coming up will be a good start, but I kind of feel he might need even more later on.

I checked the patch notes and I think that this will not hit me hard when I will play him in arena :-)
