    Flair Ruckus

    The Worst of Friends

    Affiliation: Flair Neutral

    Lore:

    While toiling in the gold mines, a particularly wily and inventive goblin named Ruckus stumbled upon the long-lost mind-stone of a fallen war-golem. He installed the relic into his mechanical digging suit, hoping it would provide the suit with enough power to outperform the other miners. He was quite surprised when the ancient sentience reawakened and brought the suit to life. Though it resented its situation, its pilot, and the name it was given, Bolt nonetheless agreed to a tentative partnership, one that freed them both to scour the Realm in search of fame, fortune, and upgrades.

    My Thoughts For Tank Changes

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 04:02 PM PDT

    Hello. I am Samaran, a former T2/T3 competitive player. I have 2300 hours in the game, with the vast majority of it being competitive play. I have been a purebred tank (primarily point tank) main throughout my entire lifetime with Paladins.

    It is undeniable that tank is an unpopular role. Furthermore, with the large nerfs that have occurred within Season 3, it only makes my passion for the role make me want to write what I think are possibilities for changes of every tank, along with reasons why.

    Some suggestions may be completely open-ended and some may be half-baked. Nonetheless, it is food for thought for, primarily, the developers and AoC members. If you're not one of those, then it may just be interesting. I'd like to say this is purely conceptual ideas, not numbers. I may say a champion is fine when they are actually very weak in the meta and need drastic buffs.

    ​

    Ash:

    I honestly can't think of anything pressing that needs changing.

    ​

    Atlas:

    Atlas has no negative scaling with his shield. This is very infuriating seeing as there is minimal counterplay to it. As such, the % size of the shield could steadily decrease (so that Temporal Divide is also equally affected) for the amount of damage that goes into it. It doesn't need to also get buffed by wrecker, 'cos that would make the shield completely useless and removes the point of the shield being unique.

    Second Chance, additionally, can fee very much as a tease of a kill that you've worked hard for. I think this could have a similar window of usage as Talus teleport: the rewind has a windup that, if poorly timed, will lead to you being killed before activating it. There's now a reason to try and CC and burst an Atlas, because he might actually be burstable.

    ​

    Barik:

    Add Tinkerin to base kit and add a new talent. A million times more interesting to play with than the normal blunderbuss. The only reason I can see this is to make it easier for console players[?] but that feels like a weak argument.

    Allow Barik to cancel his Rocket Boots but using another ability. Though I am completely used to it, it hurts with flow to have to cancel your ability even though you're about to use an ability that should stop you anyway. The artificial "skill" required to do this is not fun and completely unnecessary.

    All of Barik's talents are quite boring stat buffs. They should change the way the champion is played, if even a little. Something off the top of my head is making Fortify instead reflects the damage Barrier takes, or making Architectonics make mini ult flamethrower turrets or just anything that isn't just "buff an' cooldown".

    Fuel Efficiency is useless. 99% of the time, you cancel your boots before they are even done, so having something that extends it means you've got additional time for something you don't need time for.

    ​

    Fernando:

    Nando is my most played champ, so I've got some stuff I've wanted for for ages.

    After using Charge, Nando should, during the dash, be able to increase the duration of the dash while in the air (perfect jumping on flat ground gives around 0.5 seconds?). This allows for some interesting movement around the map (as Nando can essentially bunnyhop in a straight line) and make Charge feel like a much more impactful ability for travelling around the map. Also makes moonwalking far more rewarding for players able to pull it off, as they can disengage much better. Would make Launch potentially viable.

    Reduce the lockout of Charge after using Fireball, or remove it altogether.

    Flame Lance should deal increased damage to an opponent if Nando has been using Flame Lance non-stop on the same person without missing if directly on the crosshair. Making the damage ramp up over time. Currently, it is optimal to only tap Flame Lance at people: that shouldn't be right. Giving the choice of reducing damage to be able to move around or dedicating on one person. This is a risky one has Nando has actually got a lot of hidden depth to him, and making this change could screw all of that up, but it would at least be worth a test.

    Pyre should be reworked, as it has a similar problem to Barik's Rocket Boots. It is currently optimal to use Nando's Fire Lance down until it is a 1 tick, before stopping and letting it reset (instead of using it all and reloading). Pyre is, in a way, a reload speed card. When Nando's reload is so fast, Pyre has no place. I guess Pyre could be reworked with the change above to increase the rate that Flame Lance scales up, but that would make is really powerful so it's hard to say.

    Unstoppable Force does for Nando something that he doesn't really require. What is the point of knocking people back when you're playing a short range champ?

    Aegis is a complete noobtrap of a talent. It's encouraging players to play incorrectly.

    ​

    Inara:

    My main wish is putting some of Sacred Ground into base kit, to make Warder's Field something the enemy actually has to deal with and something you have to think about.

    Inara's card are, frankly, a mess:

    - Crag, Plateau: What is the point of healing yourself/getting a shield when you're bringing Impasse up? Impasse (usually) means you aren't getting hit and means that your support can heal you uncauterised.

    - Living Stone, Whetstone, Lodestone, Shear, Insurmountable: Inara does not need five cards dedicated to ammunition. She needs one or two if you really want to. Not only will these never be used in the same deck, but it takes up space for interesting cards to exist.

    - Cloudbreaker: Same with Barik Boots: you never use all of it. Completely useless.

    I love using Mother's Grace as much as much as the next player, but it doesn't fit it today's game: CC immunity on round 1 is too much, and saves the Inara 1200 credits she doesn't have to spend on Resilience. This argument could also be used for the DR. As a replacement, I think the following replacement could work, with it still maintaining the vibe of the original Mother's Grace: Take 30% of damage taken as a bleed. 50% of this is gained as a shield. Honestly, Mother's Grace is very low down on the things that need to be changed in the game.

    ​

    Khan:

    Make Overpower an ability that winds up: you stand still and have to be aiming at a target after the wind up to pick them up. It feels really hopeless, especially as a non-tank, to have the absolute minimal counterplay that is Overpower.

    Hold the Line! is not needed for Khan in any way. Only see it working in its current form if that increased healing also affected teammates.

    ​

    Makoa:

    Everyone has said it already but Leviathan needs a full rework.

    While Salvage exists, a very interesting card, Lighter Cannonballs has no reason to exist. It's boring.

    ​

    Raum:

    Subservience is really weird. I get the point of it, but you've got a support, and this is really not built for a main support Raum. It's a worse Grover that only works some of the time. Just rework it to something else to peel (effectively and consistently) for whoever Raum is tanking for.

    Raum has also got very messy cards:

    - Raum's Ignition makes War-Torn Plains absolutely useless. Furthermore, Raum having 500 ammo makes Infernal Reload as useless as it on Ruckus. Nobody is ever going to pick these so they should be changed for something viable and interesting.

    - Declaration of War makes no sense as a card. Why would knocking someone up a little bit extra be helpful?

    - Subjugation (of which the text of it is not really well written: it should be Increase the duration of Juggernaut by X%. Anyhow, it suffers from Barik Boots problem in that you usually cancel Juggernaut before it is over.

    ​

    Ruckus:

    Quick Loader, Extended Magazines and Regenerative Alloy are useless. Ruckus doesn't need 3 ammo cards when he is a champion with 200 rounds.

    ​

    Terminus:

    Old It Waits was so much better than the new one: sacrificing siphon for charges was great, and make the Terminus decide if he had time to get a siphon or not.

    Some cards, namely Blood and Stone and Powerslave, don't fit Terminus' playstyle and are just insanely niche cards.

    Have some sort of self-siphon recharging method like Abomination, Forsaken or It Watches in base kit.

    ​

    Torvald:

    Obviously the bloke with the most change needed.

    Make Recharge actually require some thought. As of right now, you use Recharge if you have no shield, and no other time. A potential change is that the next Protection or Nullify he casts is empowered, such as a stronger bubble or turns the Nullify into pre-rework AoE Nullify + extra damage?

    Make Thanks, Grandpa turn him into pre-rework super fat but low range Torvald. Additionally, change Direct Current to something that Torvald can actually use. If my first idea was to go through, make it so that the empowerment from Recharge is greater? Having these ults be different means he has got different playstyles and purposes in a team, instead of Bubblebot 1, 2 or Newbie.

    Torvald does need 4 ammo regeneration cards and 5 healing/shielding cards (not including max health).

    ​

    Right now, the main problem with tanks is that there is minimal skill expression with them. You can play Torvald with only half a brain cell because you aren't being challenged. The main thing I think would incentivise people to play tank is to add things to base kits to make it challenging to play. Nobody plays Torvald ever because you aren't experiencing the great trials and tribulations someone like Evie would. Honestly, it's midnight when I'm writing this so I probably missed some important stuff.

    Post your ideas below and I'll try to respond. Happy to start a conversation.
