Ao Kuang Patch Notes 2014-11-19

I am really tired of this "at least they're going in the right direction" argument.

They have acknowledged a problem is there. And they technically are pointed in the right direction. And I do understand a fear of overtuning a god.

But that's not enough. For example, the "buff" to Ares' Shackles, letting them hit Arachne's eggs. They acknowledged he needs a buff, and they did give him a buff, of sorts, but there's no real progress.

I'm also fairly pleased with the addition of reasoning in their patches, but I need to say that to be perfectly honest, these "explanations" are pathetic. They're useless, laughable, and show no real insight into their own game. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that these explanations damaged the game even further, because they reveal just how incompetent HiRez can be. Don't say "if you don't agree with their reasoning." There is no reasoning to begin with. Not a single person in this entire forum will say Cupid has been doing well.

A "step in the right direction" is not nearly enough. Of course no one would nerf Cupid. But congratulating HiRez on buffing Cupid instead of nerfing him is like congratulating a murderer for not killing all of the barmaids. It's completely out of the question, and avoids the REAL problems - the murder and the lack of a substantial change.

Anubis' ultimate now hits with a 0.1 DoT. Cupid now has 8 stacks instead of 10. Apollo's knockup gets weakened by a fraction of a fraction of a second. These changes were all steps in the right direction, but in the end, nothing really changes. In the end, a single step, or rather, a twitch, in the right direction, will not ever be enough, and we should stop pretending it is enough.

Also, I'd like to point out that League has been giving reasons for their changes for years...and Dawngate has been doing it from the very beginning...

dacoqrs take it down 5 notches, aedar did NOT insult you and he is NOT sub.

i mean when ever some one says something bad about smite 75% of the time you will react by defending no mather if the person is wrong or not.

that is speaking in general and not just in this thread,

in this case you 2 are BOTH right. both of you have viable arguments that could stand, the thing that right now is making aedar more believable is the fact that your reaction was insults rather then defending your points.

he is just as allowed to critisize smite as you are to defend it. both are neccesary to listen to when creating a game, when one side starts insulting the other without any arguments the attacked side becomes more believable even when both sides can stand just as well against eachother.

go apoligise for the insults, take a deep breath and either be silent or argue or say that you agree to disagree.
