Just for my own amusement as well as some nostalgia and in-sight on how many mistakes (or ventures) Hi-rez has made. This could be base for discussion so I guess I'd put it in here, but if a moderator finds this more fit in the Off Topic section, then by all means move it.
To start it off;
Easily one of the weirdest calls Hi-rez made was adding stats to the game that you could level up individually.
Also, early release Fenrir: with a Potion of Physical Might and Brutalize he could get a 100% guaranteed kill at level 1. Criky.
Oh yeah, cripple on Hades' ult was also purrty annoying!
Ne Zha was also pretty messed up on release, her steroid then + decent build was just ludicris.
Ne Zha is pretty much back to release now though :)
Old Ne Zha
Child of the Lotus (Passive)
When Ne Zha dies, his indomitable spirit is reborn from a Lotus at his location, healing nearby allies every second while increasing their protections. Ne Zha�s basic attacks also utilize a four swing chain, with the final attack in the chain dealing damage to all enemies in front of him. Heal per Tick: 10% of Ne Zha�s Maximum Health. Protections: 30. Duration: 6s.
Universe Ring Toss Ne Zha throws the Universe Ring where it bounces to nearby enemies. Each hit deals damage, applies a stacking physical protection debuff for 3s and slows the enemy for 1s. Each successful hit also applies a stacking movement speed buff to Ne Zha for 2s. Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+15% of your physical power).. Bounces: 5/6/7/8/9. Protections Debuff: 10 per stack. Slow: 25%. Movement Speed: 4% per stack. Cost: 50/55/60/65/70. Cooldown: 12s.
Flaming Spear Ne Zha empowers himself with fighting spirit, igniting his spear for increased Attack Speed and Critical Strike Chance for a short duration. Attack Speed: 15/25/35/45/55%. Critical Strike Chance: 15%. Duration: 6s. Cost: 55/90/65/70/75. Cooldown: 18s.
Armillary Sash Ne Zha throws out his Armillary Sash hitting the first enemy god in its path. The target is stunned as Ne Zha yanks himself toward the target, dealing a powerful blow to all enemies in the area when he arrives. Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+150% of your physical power). Stun: 1s. Cost: 75. Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14s.
Wind Fire Wheels Ne Zha dashes forward. If he hits an enemy god, he knocks it skyward for 4s, unleashing a combo (successful clicks during the combo allows some hits to be critical strikes), then smashing back to Earth, dealing additional damage to enemies in the radius as he flips back to his starting location. Damage per Hit: 30/50/70/90/110 (+30% of your physical power). Damage (Landing): 60/100/140/180/220. Cost: 80/90/100/110/120. Cooldown: 90.
Current Ne Zha
Child of the Lotus When Ne Zha dies, his indomitable spirit is reborn from a Lotus at his location, healing nearby allies every second and increasing their protections.

Ne Zha is pretty much back to release now though :)
Ah, fair enough. At the time she did feel pretty strong, probably due to lack of CC and balance of other gods. They have done some huge revamps since Ne Zha's release. It's either that or my memory is flawed. ;]
