⚖ Hero Balance Discussion: Jove

I just don’t understand when “minor damage” turned into 500-600 damage per hero (LB2 Jove). Can anybody quantify the % of that hit?

I think that is half of full damage, so like 275%

Nerfing is theft.
Once they’ve made a strong hero, leave it.
THE answer is don’t make [edit]… heroes [with such an increase in power] again.
It’s WRONG to take back what players have pulled for.

I partially agree with you and totally disagree with the leave him be part and never release such strong hero again. So, you are saying, Jove should stay top5 hero in the game forever?

If there is to be a top five, then five heroes have to be in it. Why shouldn’t the current top five remain in and arround top positions? Why can’t new heroes fit in and around current heroes by offering a variety of abilities as their appeal without a continual rush of power “creep”?
Sure, release heroes that are as powerful, just not heroes that are x stronger than the ones before (which is the pattern that has often been followed).

Jove should be nerfed and all the OP heroes that made the whole game frustrating.

I voted he OP about 6 months ago, can’t stand a hit of him. Now I don’t know, not threatening that much. Even my LB2 Bear can take one hit (Jove LB2).

What cannot be is to nerf Jove and then create a hero like Gestald
Zynga stops nerfing heroes.

:warning: Mod edit: Beta images are not allowed on the forum.

Beta information about the mentioned hero

everything is done with premeditation. it’s theft. and illegal what they do!!

I’ve they nerf jove they are going to lose a big sponsor!!

Then i wil definitly quint playing this game. And after all they have no respect for all the people that playing empires. Because they will docit after the portal of jove.

They backstep people with knife’s in the back!

The crying babys win again, they just destroyed and another one heros, it’s shame of you guys (not SG but everyone that wanted this nerf), you don’t respect the outher players thah have give money, resources and time to get this or any hero that you are crying to be nerfed. If you don’t know how to play this game and want just to play a puzzle game leave this one go for something else.

Lmao. Cry babies. How about those who don’t have a clue how to play unless they spend their retirement to feel better themselves. Jove has be beyond broken for over a year now. He does the same damage as Winfried without chaining. Think about that.

The timing on this isn’t good but still, to say anything beyond he needed a nerf, either just hates nerfs or has him. Of course he was just on a portal a couple of weeks ago not as a feature so we should have all seen this coming. Aramis is next

FYI, he’s still a very good hero, just not stupid broken

1.-/ Nerfing Jove after all this time is just RIDICULOUS. Jove has been a force for almost a year now and you had never thought to nerf him. He was exactly as you meant it i.e., the strongest sniper in the game. So why try and act all shy now ? He was always meant to be a strong sniper snd now you have basically turned him into Neptune. They literally both have the same direct damage which makes no sense. Stop nerfing great heroes to presumably make the game easier for those people who can’t cope with strong opposition.

2.-/ SG - don’t think for a second that you are off the hook after that Big Balance attempted fraud ! If you think you will now be smoothly nerfing one great hero after another each month to reach the result you first tried to push on everyone then please think again. We’ll be back at it and amp it up.

Jove is not a sniper. His time on the top was always expected to be over just like so many other cards before him. There will be more to come for Aramis, Hippo and the other Meta Over healers too.

They nerf cards so they can sell the newer cards to continue business. This nerf on Jove does not make him bad. He is ok now from being an OP. I personally dont like the nerf, but I was always expecting it to happen.

It was inevitable and more to come, why anyone is surprised at this is beyond me.

This is what they do and will continue to do, so enjoy while you can.

I must say, people who say Jove is now useless, in fact admit he was insanely OP in his original form. That explains reactions like this one.
530% to one and 265% to four is insane and -65% healing is even more insane.
Now he is 450%\225% and -50% to boosted. That’s pretty decent. Could have left him like -15% normal healing
