I know shes somewhat broken so before flames about who cares, I mean honestly she's fun to play only god where I actually feel like I'm controlling who I can heal specifically (Besides Aphro Obviously but it's different) I just mainly never play her because the skin is so ****ty to look at. Comments/Concerns/Etc?

She used to look better last year before a stealth update messed up the way her face looked.

And sometime after that, they broke her cooldowns so much that she became borderline unplayable.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

For someone who never played Hel: Why is she broken?
Had her in several Assaults, but only focused on heal and poke.
Seemed to be okay for me, why is everyone saying she's broken?

Because Hel is the slowest god in the game and has no kind of escape whatsoever, combined with her long cool downs, makes her completely useless. I'll still play her occasionally for joust, but almost never for conquest anymore. If you go against a competent team, Hel will be completely shut down.

It's true that Hel is fairly lackluster in Conquest, and I believe this is mainly because of how unsafe her farm is:

1. She has get in close to include all the minions in her Repulse / Inspire
2. The shared cooldowns prevent her from being able to heal after she clears the minion wave.
3. She lacks a press-to-win escape, and has the slowest base movement speed as well as the lowest base health in the game (and no scaling magic protection to boot).

On the plus side, she can push pretty damn hard early game because she can heal her minion wave back up to full. :D And once she has a few points in her Repulse, she can insta-melt all the regular minions.

Personally, I would hate to see her kit changed as it works wonderfully in arena. I'm pretty close to my 2,000th worshiper on her, so a major overhaul will take a long time to get used to.

Also, I quite like her skin (although the face change was unwarranted and terrible). And as much as that disc *needs* to go, it will be weird playing her without it.
