Phenoix ashes the 5 star legendary gem is one huge pile. What comes along with this gem is a story of how after people spent real money on a gem, they nerf it to be really a dead slot that can only really be overlaid. I feel like they need to either revert this to original or give us a refund for this gem. I would have never ranked up this gem, given the cooldown time now. That is shady practice buy something then change the deal after the fact, has this been done with any other 5 star gem ?

That sounds awful. Sorry to hear this and I hope Blizzard / NetEase do the right thing and address this issue. It sounds messed up and shady as hell. - JJ -
Yes, with Blessing of the Worthy in September 2022.
The gem originally had text on it about doing retribution to enemies based on the hero’s maximum life. They altered that to be based on the hero’s current life, i.e. the more HP you’d lost, the less retribution damage the gem caused. I recall quite a lot of outrage on Reddit at the time due to the bait and switch.

Bruh, this happened over a year (almost two years!) ago now. No one can complain at this point.
