If the King of the Hill will be anything like the last roaming point game modes, I will be pretty dissapointed.

KotH is a very casual game, the randomness that comes from the point moving one place to another is cause for a huge power imbalence and can spoil the progress of a well earnt game.

How long have I been asking for Onslaught in Ranked... I feel let down here...

Don't get me wrong, I want a multi capture point map, or a capture both A-B to score and then it resets, something that toys with the area defence dynamics of the game. But making me haul ass across a map to a point that is always in flux is not going to make a rewarding game.

I guess we will see how it goes...

I just want imani to throw fireballs that explode on contact, deal damage and AoE size dependant on charge time, with apt area burning potential on fully charged shots, as base kit feature to alternate between damage types with utility instead of giving her a sha lin arrow...

Her talents are gronk.. her mana is gronk...

Rukus & Khan also have fairly good caut application and can sweep caut from afar, but have the dps to take wrecker and brake shields as a utility.

Whereas Nando is limited to a roaming cauterise hose, burning gives caut greater threat potential due to the afterburn damage through defence and normal sustain moves.

Grohk's lightning chainsaw is also VERY SCARY.

Fern just gets a cheeky overburn utility which gives him the foresight to oppress, chase and defend as a hostile control debuff function through the use of his weapon.

Burning is good at forcing people to retreat further away for self defence as anyone with a burning attack should have an agressive reveal window which they can briefly track their foes.

But I personally have my issues with that reveal superpower...
The reveal range of burning is limitless...
Thus it can track the use of movement and some teleports abilities with no hinderance...

This is something that could be mitigated to true line of sight after a certain distance from player or even using Illuminate as a form of burning wall hacks range threshold...?

Would be interesting to see illuminate being used as a burning reveal assist item for tracking reasons though.

Burning on top of Cauterise is a strong anti heal factor as it aids to nuke the sustain of over time healing such as most of the tank classes.

For example, 200 - 600HP/sec point sustain against %90 caut and burning.

Even when you deny the damage they are dealing, you are taking 100 damage/sec and your healing is reduced to 20-60HP/sec until caut ends, 1.5s after.

You can die by this healing denial + plus damage, if not dead then at least lit up enough that they know roughly where you are, due to utility DoT reveal reasons.

How do you comrades feel about Burning?

Dimitri Loves Burning... mediocure damage over time, does a nice job at applying pressure to foes.

However as a gameplay dynamic, it is somewhat lacking in its potential application. Too few champions inflict Burning as a kit feature dispite how many fire type abilities exist.

Burning exists as a Weak Damage Amp, DoT reveal, DoT zoning pressure and can work as an anti heal feature.
It has a myriad use of utillity for a form of damage application.

For this reason, it would be interesting to see light forms of burning on abilities, especially in the damage class who should do more to provide offence utility to the team other then attack damage.

I have a feeling that some of the burst combos could be altered and drawn out by the application of Burning damage and retuning of inhand attack damage to work alongside the Burn damage.

Furthermore, Burning is not very impactful vs tank classes. The time you are burning is fairly mediocure considering how much HP you have to burn through, a breif burning duration increase dependant on Player Max HP would allow characters with Burning damage to light up chunky targets for longer, thus aiding to counter sustain healing for longer periods if caut cannot be applied.

@marantzz Yeah ha, when they run out of skin ideas so they ask the community to make them.

There is many environment, lore, theme skins that ought to be done but.... meh.

At least I FINALLY GET A RUKUS SKIN....

SUPER UNDERLOVED SKIN CLOSET.

At least this one looks fun.

STILL NO PIRATE ASH
STILL NO PIRATE BUCK

Sigh

Dimitri's Stance on Aegis
A lower CD DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH DEFENCE UTILITY in its current state.
It was effective when the player could have a potential 5s CD on the shield if combined with card synergies. But this gave him too much HP to chew through too often.

ALL I ASK FOR AS A +60 FERNANDO PLAYER IS:

• Provides Self CC Immunity for duration of shield.
• Shield no longer has infinite duration.

Having a consistant anti CC defense option to deny every big CC effect that would be used to drop your massive CD shield instantly would the provide armour needed against CC abilitiy combos used against Nando when he is at his weakest and most vubrable moments.

Having anti CC tied to shield is not a big buff as the shield is already good at denying most forms of CC, however for defence utility Fernando has nothing to counter abilities that would pierce his shield, shield piercing abilities really hurt Nando more then other Tanks due to the long CD of shield making for a less reactive defence.
