Buff/Nerf a hero pointlessly

General Discussion

For example:

Butcher
Fresh Meat

  • At 1000000 stacks of Fresh Meat, Butcher becomes permanently Unstoppable.

Or

Leoric
Undying

  • Now immediately resurrects if he manages to land a killing blow on an enemy Hero while dead.

Here’s a good example from another poster:

We agree that it feels bad to have your Trait interrupted when you’re low on Brew, almost like a 5-second silence. With that in mind, I’m excited to share that we’re going to modify Chen’s Trait.

In an upcoming patch, Fortifying Brew will change to grant 25 Brew immediately when Chen starts drinking, and then 30 Brew per second after that (down from 40). It will still take 2.5 seconds to reach max Brew just like before, but with a big chunk of that front-loaded it should be a lot less frustrating when you get interrupted early.

MattVi, I think that the Elusive Brawler nerf was too much for Chen.

We’ll keep an eye on this one. We were hoping to both offset the actual power increase (vs QoL) of the Brew change, as well as bring his Level 1 talents a little bit more in line in the short term. If the talent change does end up being too much, we’re definitely willing to make further adjustments.
…
think it’s problematic if he’s that dependent on a single talent to prop up his survivability. You should feel like you can choose the talent that best fits the situation, and if one of them feels mandatory 90% of the time that goal is being undermined.

Chen can only use his trait once every time he get a takedown. No stacking.

Murky
Living the Dream

added functionality: After staying alive for 2000 seconds, gain 75 armor and dying no longer resets the spell power from Living the Dream.

2000 seconds is about 33 minutes. So you would have to have a game get into the 35-36 minute mark, with Murky never dying. I think that’s a pretty pointless buff.

Vampiric Rounds - at 500 stacks, all ally basic attacks apply shrike as well.

This is pointless for two reasons - 500 stacks is basically unattainable, but even if it weren’t with that many stacks you’d basically be unkillable anyway, so allies applying shrike would be meaningless.

Chromie:

Once Again The First Time- Additional Functionality Upon reaching 60 stacks, spawn an additional clone (max of 3). Each clone now does 33.33% less damage.

This gives you an additional clone, but the overall damage of the echos remains the same (80% of a regular sand blast if all clones hit the same target)

Abathur can now clone himself with Ultimate Evolution, for there is no more perfect being in existence.
