MERCURY PATCH

New God: Mercury

(Passive)

For every 1 ft traveled, Mercury gains a 0.1% physical power bonus on his next basic attack (max 50%). Mercury also gains additional physical power equal to 20% of movement speed from items.

Mercury moves in the blink of an eye, dealing one melee attack to every enemy within the target area. Each hit is considered a basic attack, may trigger item effects, and can critical hit. Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+50% of your physical power). Range: 55ft. Radius: 5/7.5/10/12.5/15ft. Cost: 50. Cooldown: 8.

Mercury increases his attack speed, ignoring slow and root effects for the duration. Attack Speed: 30/40/50/60/70. Duration: 3/3.5/4/4.5/5s. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14s.

Mercury dashes forward, knocking aside minions, grabbing the first enemy god he encounters and spinning them. The enemy god takes damage until the effect ends, and Mercury throws the god in the direction of his choosing. Minion Damage: 70/115/160/205/250 (+60% of your physical power). Damage per Tick: 10/15/20/25/30 (+15% of your physical power). Duration: 1s. Damage Interval: 0.25s. Cost: 70/75/80/85/90. Cooldown: 15s.

Mercury gathers energy for a powerful dash, with the range extending as he does so (max 500ft). He travels the distance faster than the speed of sound, dealing damage to all enemies, disorienting them and spinning them around in a random direction. Damage: 200/275/350/425/500 (+120% of your physical power). Disorient Duration: 1s. Cost: 80/90/100/110/120. Cooldown: 90s.

We really need to decide on who gets to post the patch notes. There's already a few topics on this now, and I'm not going to go through the trouble of reposting my entire synopsis of the patch in other topics. For those of you really curious as to my thoughts on it, check it out here.

Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

Mercury sounds fun to use. Mix it up with a lot of speed items and he can out run chronos lol.

I lately liked 3 of the newest gods. Mercury seems like he will rely on basic attacks which is good for me since I'am good with baka. I couldn't play Chronos right and I kinda blow with Tyr since tanks and wairrors are not my strongest characters. I get so much adrenaline pumped in my veins whenever baka gets ridicoulus speed and atk spd and melt every god I touch. So somebody like Mercury I hope will be somebody I can do good with and have ton of fun.
