Scylla Reaction Thread

Put your opinion of her here, and any suggested changes, and why plz. Just for posterity.

I honestly don't feel the "super op ridiculous god of doom that must be used or you will fail." Like I did when Nemesis and Chaac were released. I'm not saying she's balanced(although I don't know what I would change), but she isn't so broken that you want to shoot yourself when you see her on the enemy team.

Only played 3 matches with Scylla so I can't say much.

The only change I would do to her is taking away the ability to Poly twice with Sentinel. Once when placing the sentinel and once again after activating it.

Her ult seemed a bit too strong at first, but it's not that easy to hit as Grasping Hands for example so it's fine in the end. Easily countered by Aegis or a simple dash/ leap.

As for teamfights, she has quite some usefulness with her 1 maxed, and if followed by 2 and ult she is a weapon of mass destruction.

Will add more as I play... if I can get the chance with everyone trying to do the same.

Ah, and also your reactions and suggestions about the non-new god stuff, like the item changes. How are the items?

The malice/rage thing. I don't know how to feel. It seems like they made malice useless and all the ADC's are just gonna have to go rage now. Or build all the crit items, which doesn't seem good either.

They took out focused voidblade and focused voidstone why? These trees are eliminating a lot of favorite picked items and don't really have a reason too. They pretty much eliminated the items that built stacks based on time. Not sure the purpose. They seemed useful if you were having trouble building stacks, or on assault.

BoV doesn't have mana at rank 1. Sweet. That's a really powerful item. A little nerf could be used.

**** you Ao Kuang. I'll never be scared of not moving again! *Nemesis creeps out of the jungle*

You can beads out of a Cupid ult now? I'm going to go pout in my corner now.

I'm actually running more fps finally. They did a performance update that helped.

Did I mention that added counter to Fields Of Love?

Okay. She's not OP at all, the only problem I see with her is her ''Sentinel'' thingy. The only mage that can escape from Odin's Ring of Spears. Not fair at all! I already hate Agni by his dash, Scylla might take that place soon. Why not change the Teleport into a Dash? Much fair, while she keeps similar aspects.

Otherwise I think she's fine. A good burst mage. I still hadn't the opportunity to play her, but I'll soon.

Eh, Malice will be really strong for gods like Odin. Or god, Vamana, dealing stupid amounts of damage as an AoE tick attack.

Golden Bow and Hunter's Bow are still useless.

Bplate still is too strong, IMO.

Ao nef is most welcome, although I still think the slow duration needs to be reduced.

And you could always BEads out of a cripple. I'm not sure what the change did, but I recall beads-ing out of Shackles pretty often.

The hard CC change feels weird, to be honest. Personally, I think they should have kept roots and whatnot as hard CC.

Gem of Binding is gone, so is Hide of the leviathan, ankh of the golem, focused void stone and void blade and the 2nd branch for Magi's Blessing (the one with 35 protections, can't remember the name right now).

T1 BoV has no mana but it has 20 phys protection now.

Just now read the part about the cripples stopping a dash. That's really cool, oh wait. Poseidon's vortex of doom kiddy pool. I don't like this anymore. :c

It would seem my predictions for Scylla's gameplay were quite accurate. The only thing about her kit that I'd deem overpowering if anything is her sentinel teleport. The fact that it can trigger Polynomicon twice is most likely a bug that will get patched out quickly once HiRez knows it exists. Other than that, she's balanced and quite counterable if you're not a complete idiot when facing her.
