[Idea] Rook armor focused not HP

Since rook can easily beat any other DG 1v1 in a slap fight or even with boulder & hammer and has no real weaknesses, How about giving him less HP, perhapse the same as UB but give him loads of armor instead. He will still win in 1v1 slap fights but spells can be his weakness. yay/nay?

Should be worth a try.

and generals are doomed with this. either way i think his hammer slam should just be toned down a bit. also he is only a real problem when he teleambushs and this imho has to change in future builds. tele ambush is just rediculous.

Even with a 25% nerf to HP the Rook is still stronger than other Assassins.

he's supposed to be able to take alot but a weakness to spells would be a huge weakness.

get rid of teleport items or at least make them more expensible slow the movement (even more) and he is balanced:

-he might be stronger then the other demigods in 1v1 but

-he is slow so when his health gets critical he needs a lot of time getting back and heal

-no teleambush so you can evade him or choose not to fight, since all other demigods are faster

-since he is so slow he would not be so flexible

-he would be what he was meant to be (at least in my understanding) a lane pusher, a giant walking castle

Teleport scrolls wont be removed, there will be a animation on flags as a warning most likely.

So everyone is ok with Rook's only weakness is being ganged? Even a bad formation of ganging can result in a boulder stuning everyone and the Rook getting away and the maps are basically thin lanes.

i think more armor really is perfect because it is probobly the biggest weakness a Dg can have, but still he should have more health than anyone else but by only a little bit.

Yea that was my idea. Rook to have more HP than other DG's but not a huge ammount. The HP reduction can be compensated by armor increase.
