If Jove with 530% direct damage at fast mana is not a sniper then I don’t know who is.
And I don’t follow the rationale that you have to nerf existing heroes to sell news cards. You can just as well sell more powerful heroes keeping old ones just as is
I don’t understand . They must be looking to end the empire.
Instead of launching new events with the money they earn, they continue in the same…
They launch a new hero, nerf…
Why don’t they innovate the gameplay? with what they earn, when an event so that players can use the cards of other heroes of their alliance members?
I give this a year as it continues… or even less
So you say Khufu is also a sniper? And Ogima shooting at taunt up is also a sniper but weak sniper, right?
It is not a matter of being surprised. It is a matter of being outraged. Just justifying this nonsense.
I completely agree. Zero innovation. Zero real change. Just releasing new heroes and wait for people to spend their money to nerf him. Ridiculous behavior. And people keep trying to rationalize this and convince everyone that it makes sense. Release new heroes if you want but STOP NERFING HEROES.
Jove is(was) indeed OP, so I was okay with the originally planned “big balance update” which should bring the SpecialSkill-Percentages back into line, because this update was planned to affect nearly all heroes. Turned out, they did not adjust the percentages but increased base-stats only…and left out Jove for that…also totaly okay with that…
BUT now taking him as the only target for the nerf hammer only ~ 3 Weeks after the first appearance of his intended Portal while previously he could wreak havoc for over 8 months…well… 
move
(they should have at least adjust his base stats to the other carnival of gods heroes with this update 
)
Don’t believe in nerfs and I am a holder of the Jove card. Tbh I hardly ever used him and didn’t find him that imposing. I wish you all luck in your quest for justice but should have seen this one coming.
Very sincerely: what are the arrows pointing to ?? My point is just that Jove (just as Lianna) can take out any hero with one shot, hence the sniper.
To SG: if you people really think that because of your little buff of Sir Roostley, you will see more of him in Raids defenses instead of Jove you are smoking on something really strong ! Nobody cares that you’ve buffed that useless hero.
I ain’t saying any of that.
Having anticipated this move does not make it any fairer nor does it gives it any sense.
Absolutely true and great point ! Jove has a been a problem from day 1. They released him during one event which they failed to renew for almost a year. And just a few weeks after making him available again for pulls they nerf him. Great timing SG ! Very well done. Please respect your client base.
Well, if you couldn’t understand the difference between what a snipper and Jove is, I for sure wasted my time. I hope your frustration about the nerf makes you leave the game and have a happy life outside E&P.
Sure he’s a sniper. Just a sniper with a mini gun as opposed to a sniper with a sniper rifle…
I have to say your idea of a sniper is wrong. A sniper is someone who hits one target, not everyone like Jove does.
Can his hit kill a single target? For sure but he still hits all enemies.
He is no different than any of the chain hit effect like Khufu, Winifred, Sir Roostly and others.
Lianna, Joon, in their original versions were pure snipers because they only hit 1 target, and it doesn’t matter whether or not they left behind a status effect.
Jove hits all enemies, and leaves status effects on all enemies.
Your idea of what a sniper is, is like a hand grenade in a room full of people instead of a single bullet.
Completely agree with you here…knowing a punch is coming dosen’t make it hurt any less and unfortunately it isn’t the first and probably won’t be the last.
Surely then he is still a sniper (huge damage to one) but he also lobs a grenade into the room (to hurt everyone else).
Im sure some NRA nut can describe a gun that does this in real life.
For me, snipers were not only defined by hitting one, it was the huge damage. A sniper aims to kill in one shot. SG decided we should have snipers that fire grenades.
I am of an older school where a sniper is a single target hitter, regardless of the damage generated.
A sniper could hit more than one target but in real life a sniper does not want to give away his position.
Jove is an AOE (area of effect) hitter, with a bonus to a single target. 265% to all others is the same as, or better than the older hit all heroes like Isarnia, Justice etc.
Jove was OP to begin with, and while his damage has been decreased overall it wasn’t the damage that was so severe, it was the status ailments that went with it.
To my mind they could easily have reduced the amount of the status ailment, and limited the duration.
530% damage to one target is not the problem, there are heroes who hit harder.
Don’t forget; lianna is standard sniper card, jove is very rare, they can’t make it to nerf him. With all those new heroes releasing.
its fraud, and few weeks after the promo its back step everybody with a knife in their backs! Illegal bussines
suck it up and move on,
