Dam what the heck Hirez is thinking?, that Ancile will probably break the game, and a lot of complaints on Polynomicon.

The Fenrir buff seems unnecessarry, they buff his sustain. There was a time i fought a Fenrir with Artemis on a battle of sustain (AKA lifesteal showdown) i won the battle with Transgressors Fate and Bloodforge, in this upcoming patch, i won't win anymore on sustain battle against this buffed Fenrir unless i have Bloodforge and Brawler's Beat Stick.

His power on his 2 got buffed, not the lifesteal.

Poly nerf, so lame. I was kind of expecting a downgrade (a lot of crybabies in game complaining about mages burst with no Aegis Amulet bought of course) to MAYBE 75%, but 50%?

So much for chromos' and Nu Wa's burst. I really don't understand these changes, what was so overpowered about that item that it needed a nerf... twice. It really baffles my mind.


It did need a nerf, it was just stupidly OP. Late-game, it was an easy 400-700+ damage just for landing an autoattack, and on gods like Ao Kuang who get insane amounts of magic power, it could even be over 800. And then look at the physical counterpart for that item, Hydra's Lament, which will usually only net you about an extra 100 damage, maybe 150 if you're building a ton of damage.

Now, Polynomicon will only be about 200-300 damage, and that's balanced as is. It's still a great item. Aegis Amulet wont save you from something that comes up like every 4 seconds.

Yeah but Fen's will have a high sustain win. But doesn't his 2 grants him lifesteal?

I'm fine with poly Nerf, besides I have used it power with Scylla and witnessed it's opiness, at least the warrior Nerf is not gonna be useless.

IMO, Poly wasn't the problem. It was the several billion mages who kept getting extra MP, like Ao Kuang, Scylla, Hel, He Bo, etc, that made Poly broken. Now Poly will be useless on 90% of gods except for those, which it will still be decent.


This, it was absolutely ridicules on Ao Kuang.

Instead of decreasing it to 50%, maybe they should have simply capped the Poly damage at like 400, that would've been okay. It would still be really strong, but it wouldn't be broken.

Everytime we wait for new skins to it is always for the newer gods who get priority, so many just have a recolour and thats it where as Ra-bomination has ludicrous amounts, and before i go /rant
Just watched a video about the new skin "ra-merica" and omg is it a just a poke in an eye to non-americans... "The usual we're number one no matter what anyone says, booya". not a fan at all.

AMERICA! FOOTBALL! GEORGE BUSH!

I don't see how having an American-themed Ra skin is like saying "we're number one no matter what anyone says, booya," if anything, it's poking fun at American stereotypes. Anyway, I just saw the Russian-themed Athena skin, and that skin is just a poke in the eye to all us non-Russians. amirite?

Or the Christmas themed skins poking people in the eye that don't celebrate Christmas?
Or the Feaster Bunny skin to those who don't celebrate Easter?

As for the skin in question, I like it because of the skill changes. They look pretty cool with all of the colors, and I like the little fireworks that shoot out on his basic attacks. I've seen plenty of people stating that they're not American, but like the skin for the same reason. If you don't like it, that's fine, but if you feel the skin is a poke to your eye, then I find that to be quite sad for you. And if you also feel this skin is saying "We're number one no matter what anyone says", you're reading way too much into something that's not even there in some goofy skin.
