FENRIR PATCH

New God: Fenrir!

Unbound Runes (Passive) Fenrir gains efficiency as he attacks. Every hit from a basic attack activates 1 rune, up to a max of 5. Each of Fenrirs abilities gain an additional benefit when used at maximum runes and the runes are consumed. Enemy gods that die near Fenrir will fully activate all his runes.

Unchained Fenrir leaps forward, dealing damage to all enemies when he lands. At full runes, the leap stuns the enemies hit. If the leap hits a god, the cooldown is halved. Damage: 95/155/215/275/335 (+80% of your physical power). Stun: 1s. Cost: 65/70/75/80/85. Cooldown: 15s.

Seething Howl Fenrir rears back and howls, inspiring himself with a physical power and lifesteal buff. At full runes, the buff is increased by 50%. Physical Power: 10/20/30/40/50. Physical Lifesteal: 5/10/15/20/25%. Buff Duration: 6s. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown: 13s.

Brutalize Fenrir pounces to his ground target location. If there was an enemy in the radius, he strikes them 4 times, dealing additional damage with each strike while being immune to knockups. At full runes, each strike deals 75% damage to nearby enemies. Damage: 10/20/30/40/50 (+30% of your physical power). Cost: 70/75/80/85/90. Cooldown: 14s.

Ragnarok (Ultimate) When Ragnarok arrives, Fenrir grows massive in size, becoming immune to crowd control while moving faster. Fenrir bites enemy gods, dealing physical damage and carrying them away. Biting a cc immune target deals the damage but ends his ultimate. At full runes, his protections double. Damage: 150/225/300/375/450 (+120% of your physical power). Movement Speed: 50%. Carry Duration: 2s. Cost: 100. Cooldown: 90s.

Gods

Seething Howl The amount of physical power gained has been reduced from 10/20/30/40/50 to 10/15/20/25/30..

Wall of text crits you for 100,000,000,000 damage, you die.

Oh god....Vamana is broken after all these unessecary changes. Three ranked abilities? Kind of stupid. Really stupid.

I'm temporarily archiving my Vamana guide.

Well Ragingstorm, we were right. Vamana has Hel syndrome.

For those of you who don't understand that, it means that THAT ******* BABY IS GOING TO BE BUFFED SO MANY TIMES THAT HE WILL END UP LIKE HEL. BROKEN AND IN NEED OF REWORK.

Edit: Wait just a damn minute, this rant is not over. WHY THE HELL WAS HE BO BUFFED? That ******** mage does not need a damage buff, he is perfectly fine where he is!

Ranked abilities? That'll die really quick.

I LIKED RA'S SKIN DAMMIT! They should've just changed the Alienware skin! If anything, at least make the original a skin for use.

That buff on Hercules is unnecessary. Why does Hi-Rez INSIST on buffing Gods that DO NOT ****ING NEED BUFFS?!

The rest is good. But god DAMMIT does this piss me off! Rant over, initiate forum rebuttals.

Seriously? Portal got removed? It's not like it was broken or anything, unless you were running a premade... in which case, it's an issue of the skill being too strong due to the coordination effect.

Motivate, on the other hand, was incredibly broken in the right hands. With certain team comps (Odin + Hel + Ares for example), there was no way to stop those boosted minions from taking down your towerd within the first couple minutes.

Making the active items work in work in ranks seems rather strange, and the fact that it adds yet another thing the players must spend gold on isn't a good thing when you conisder gold spooling is only 2g/sec. If the spooling were at 3g/sec, it might be fine, but as it currently stands, requiring 3500 more gold to max out will only make carrying players that much more difficult to fight back against.

I agree. If a team has a good thing going and uses Portal, then that's not a problem. It was a good active and I don't see why it needs to be removed. It can be a game changer but so can all good items, so if it's used well then that's a sign of good play.

I really dislike the ranked actives. Even if they increased the gold spool again I still see problems with it. We shall see I suppose.

if they allow you to sell actives then ranked ones will be good

I doubt they will, but we'll see. I think the general idea behind it was that they wanted actives to scale as the players do.

FENRIR IS SUPER COOL

I hate the ranked actives though. Now, with the same price, it is less useful, you need 600 gold to have the same one with the old one

Fenrir looks awesome and full of swag! YEAH BUDDY <3 I just wonder why the **** they're going to remodel Ra? Is there a good reason?
