they shortened the frames, but macro-level timing still is functional from what I’m understanding. They’ve gone from high skill, high performance people being able to do it more or less consistently, to “This still works, but you need a macro.”
The culprit is as, I think we’ve always said. reverse archon. Fix that crap to make Archon stacks affect only Archon damage, and this macro-level timing Archon crap goes away. Yes, Vyr is going to get caught in the crossfire when Archon no longer buffs Chantodo’s damage, but this is also a GOOD change, because Chantodo’s is too good and Archon damage itself is too low.
Wizards just need to keep the same level of performance overall. I bet someone good at math could probably come up with an accurate number, but I'd assume we'd lose about 300% damage roughly? Wouldn't then tripling Archon damage make sense?
