⚖ Passive Balance Discussion: Disable Minion Abilities

[rho]

@Quinn3

Pretty much. I’ve given up on trying to track all the new heroes and just accept that we’re going to get OP heroes with OP passives. I suspect the next batch of heroes are going to have specials that suppress all the passives which will be the next heroes to chase.

Just going to quote myself here:

Luna – Beta Info & Stats (extremely likely to change)

Rarity: Legendary/5*
Gender: N/A (Owl)
Power: 838

Attack: 819
Defense: 803
HP: 1442

Class: Wizard
Element: Dark (Purple)

Mana Speed: Fast

Passive: Fiend of the Familiars
When a Minion is summoned to any ally, this character gains 5% health and 5% mana. This effect can activate only once per turn.

Passive: Wrath of Pets
When a Fiend is summoned to any enemy, this character deals 85% damage to all enemies. This effect can activate only once per turn.

Special Skill: Lunar Blessing

• At the end of each turn, all allies shoot a Moon Beam at a random enemy for 3 turns.
• Each Moon Beam deals 120% damage.
• Each Moon Beam reduces the mana of the hit enemy by 3%.

So now that the Lunar New Year heroes singlehandedly destroy heroes like LotL and Waterpipe, they come out with THIS mana cutting mechanic Absolutely speechless

The “counter” to these LNY heroes already exists in beta - mana reduction tied to special skill once again and not minions.

I’ve a feeling Luna will dominate the purple tank meta if she is released in her current form, and thus will probably be “balanced” soon after release somehow. It’s just all so predictable.
