IcePhoenix posted:hopefully that makes beastmaster "normal" again They're looking at metrics across millions of players and slowly dialing in to some desired outcome. Making numbers up, if Hoodwink is at a 48.5% winrate and they want to nudge her toward 50%, they'll give a teeny buff to one ability, watch the metrics for a few days (weeks?), see if the numbers improve, and go from there. If they just slam an extra full second onto the same stun it would probably overcorrect and swing her wildly to, say, a 52% winrate. If you're trying to carefully dial to 50%, you want to avoid those big fluctuations.

Hey after Simply TooBased crushed Sadboys last night they asked Monkeys Forever about Brood! He basically gave an evil laugh and said, "I expect her first or second ban from here on out, one hero just cannot possibly deal with her once she gets going." BTW TooBased looked loving awesome in those games, Boris was like a horror movie slasher.

IcePhoenix posted:also lmao adding a tenth of a second to hoodwink's stun I will never understand changes with an increment that small They generally make changes like this because it allows you to chain abilities without the enemy hero being able to respond/blink, I d on't play hoodwink but can you maybe get her ult off now?

It's super funny to me that zfreak got poached from what was essentially Monkey's friendship stack and now Sadboys has failed to win a single game whereas 2Based has looked pretty good.

Hoodwink is a good support.
Tranquils Euls Maelstrom You can buy some other support-y stuff if it makes sense (like Glimmer, Force Staff). I think she's legit at a 4/5. e: go Acorn --> Net --> Scurry --> Max Net You really, really should take the scurry point at level 3. It's an absurdly good skill and completely changes how the hero skirmishes. This works out in the laning phase because you shouldn't be spamming skills anyways. Just use your autoattacks.

The .1 seconds doesn’t matter for her ult really, the bigger thing is probably the projectile speed on bushwack. Small duration buff, increase in reliability because bushwack is faster, and makes the bushwack then acorn combo a lot harder or impossible. Haven’t tested it tbh

She went from 47% overall winrate to 50% from it.

Bush-->Acorn is now impossible. You can't do it with Aether Lens and/or Seer Stone, either. The fundamental problem is that the Bushwack projectile is now as fast as the Acorn shot projectile -- You can do it if you have quicksilver amulet. I mean, overall it's still a buff.

Is Meteor Hammer a thing on Hoodwink? That extra .1 might help get that chained.

Honestly making Bush to acorn impossible probably helped her win rate because it was so unreliable

If this is like any of the other times w33 got kicked from a high profile team, we can probably assume he will end up getting second at TI10

Jenkins bitching that WK skeletons have the temerity to keep chasing and attacking you instead of being easily re-aggroed. Next up: Jenkins bitching that you can’t dodge Laguna Blade.
