The new anomaly was anounced, what do you think about it?
New Nexus Anomaly - Gladiator’s Medallion
You’ll have to tell us what it is.
I’m fine with it as is, but I don’t like that this opens the gates for every League fanboy to ask for more items…
Items can be fine if they are map related. I wonder how this anomally will work alongside nukes, turrets and stuff.
This is something I never really liked much in WoW, especially because clarity of durations was always super weird because of having to keep track of what CCs were on which diminishing return and knowing that someone hadn’t used their medallion yet. Moving to HOTS and not having to deal with that was honestly refreshing.
I like these kinds of things as options like talents, but once it’s baseline, then it’s just another layer of complexity that only overloads a kit and feels necessary because you didn’t balance your game in other ways.
If CCs feel oppressive, it probably just means that people are doing too much damage in the time you are cc’d. I personally would have preferred talents like Lunara’s cleanse on non support characters.
I just have one question though, can you use it WHILE being CCed or does it need to be pre cast?
In my opinion it seems dumb and too powerful regardless of how long it takes to refresh. Would prefer a version with lower cooldown that only clears existing CC without the bonus of follow-up immunity.
Acording to this you can use it anytime:
Developer Comment: Our goal for the Gladiator’s Medallion is to give players more opportunities to commit to aggressive plays and relieve some of the helplessness felt when players get stuck in long CC chains.
Yeah, that’s what I feel like. Anyone can hop in the PTR and test it?
I am not sure what to say about this “item” or talent. I saw it, when I did the tutorial with Uther after installing the PTR-client. I wonder if this item can be used as an cleanse effect, if not then it will probably not impactful at all for the most players.
Thanks, gishki. That means it is an cleanse for everybody like an pvp item in wow? Then it’s obvious powerful.
They should just stop those anomalies that give buffs to heroes. The weather one already failed hard, now another one that gives an ability to heroes that did not have those abilities before. There obviously is a reason why not every hero had a unstoppable talent before. So why add it now through the backdoor.
I just tested it against a Brightwing in try mode and could not cancel the Polymorph, it follows the regular rules of ability activation and you have to to activate it before stun or silence hits.
Root and slow though can be removed even after.
Well BW has a transform effect, it’s different than a stun. Did you try it, when you was stunned?
Oops, so it’s not an pvp item like in wow. That means it’s probably crap for the most players.
Honestly, my first opinion is that it feels like a totally pointless button which will be only confusing players. It has 5 minutes CD, so you will be able to use it 4 - 5 times if you spam it, but realistically only once or twice per game.
It will be useless for bronze players it will be useless, because they usually aren’t very god at dodging spells, so they are hit by CC very often and one self cleanse every 5 minutes won’t help them at all.
Imo it’s kinda funny.
But it will last like that until I play a game with that new stuff…
The influence of the Wow and its bgs is too much felt now.
The games will already look like bgs of Wow.
Then it will follow that we earn honor points to build our wrathful set. 
This is what every butcher was doing and they are nerfing him now 
Some form of indicator would be great for Supports to see.
It is not even a self cleanse at all, I tried it out in an a.i. match and etc stunned me with Q, but I couldn’t use it, you really have to use it before you get stunned like rcw said. This talent or item will have no impact at all for the most players.
But the confusing thing is it’s called “Medallion” like the pvp item in wow, but it’s obviously not.
Love it. Self Cleanse is amazing
