[quote who="Epiphenomenon" reply="10" id="2468764"] What part of 1000 damage every 10-15 seconds from nearly anywhere on the map (depending on SoR and celerity flags) is bad, exactly? The problem is that Bishops can heal for 1000 damage every 5-10 seconds. This will work against an Assassin team, but few people do that. [/quote] Well, I guess I can't argue with that. Pack it in folks, you might as well give up. If
[quote]2) More then 1 point in snipe is worthless. Use it to kill/assist fleeing DGs. Other than that, everyone will have too much life around level 7 for it to be even worth shooting it, even at full level. 1 point will fulfill this use through the entire game.[/quote] I see this opinion frequently about snipe.

The mobility actually makes him quite formidable. Instant mobility means you can take greater risks before being in the same danger another demigod would be. An Erebus player can chase another demigod much deeper without being in danger than any other demigod can. That kind of risk mitigation alone is very powerful, not to mention the fact that Erebus himself can take basically any other demigod in a stand-up fight. The freedom to take more risks gives
The problem as I see it with Erebus is that it takes all of three skill points invested (2 bat swarm, one mist) to make him the most mobile demigod on the field, to the point of near-invulnerability. Similar mobility skills do not see anywhere near that level of return per point spent. Diseased claws? Permafrost? Fire aura? Inner grace? Warp strike I think comes closest, but it's a one-way port, requires a target, and can't typically be use

Designing favor items with price point as a balancing foil is an awful idea, imo. Favor items should all be designed with the same relative power in mind, not based around how much they cost since, as we all know, cost is completely irrelevant in the end. If all favor items had the same item budget, there would probably be a lot more variety in items actually seen in the wild. Haha,
That "50% chance of performing a critical strike" is really 40%. and it's not a real crit, it's a 50% damage crit. The reality is that his passives are a straight 5% boost (10% chance to deal 150% damage ends up being exactly 5% extra damage,) which is not in line with what other demigods get for passives.
Deep freeze should pretty much never be used for damage. If you've put more than one point into it, you're giving up something else that's much more important for pure frost, and there's always something more important to do than doing a piddling amount of extra damage and removing all of your critical debuffs. Not to mention frost is so hard to get away from in general, stopping to cast while chasing someone is just asking to let them get away.

[quote] 100 equals 100. Not pathetic. You can describe 100 as pathetic. But it is not equivalent to pathetic. [/quote] Your pedantry is failing you again. In pure mathematical terms, Pathetic as a variable can be any number you want it to be. X is not 100, but X = 100 is a valid expression. Ergo, the arbitrary assignment of 100 to Pathetic is a perfectly valid expression, when evaluating 100 = Pathetic. Additionally, If you we

[quote who="JagerJack" reply="62" id="2406241"] Besides, I was not talking literally, as you are. "The difference of" is a synonym for subtraction. [/quote] [Citation needed] [quote who="JagerJack" reply="62" id="2406241"] The subtraction of 100 from 200 = the difference of 200 and 100 [/quote] "The subtraction of 100 from 200," is not a sentence, try again.

Mathematics. the operation or process of finding the difference between two numbers or quantities, denoted by a minus sign (−). Difference can be used in the place of subtraction, but subtraction can not be used in the place of difference, unless you are refering to math.

Is this really the argument here? The difference between 200 players online, and 100 players online is the difference between pathetic, and pathetic.
Then clearly a demigod that has a lane to himself, and two other demigods that are sharing a lane will be the same exact level as the game progresses. Right?
I'm surprised you people rebind keys, but don't make Z, X, and C useful keys. Do you really need to be able to bring up the character screen instantly? The idea of rebinding is to put things closer to your default hand position during a game, ideally you shouldn't be moving from that position in the middle of an actual fight, where milliseconds of reaction time matter. In my case it's WASD, camera controls are too important in a game where you can zoom out to infinity, and

[quote who="Lugh" reply="20" id="2256031"] Quoting Irahi, reply 19 I actually prefer going for a bracelet of rage as my endgame item with a BW beast. I haven't mathed out the pain, but the +300 static bonus alongside the 65% boost is basically instant death to anything that doesn't or can't run away. Isn't that static bonus only to your friends though? [/quote]
