Regulus' Wings should increase movement speed

^NT

 

heck, he even says ""I'm slower without my wings"" Yet he has no movement increase with them.

 

They should add something to it, first thing i felt was wrong when i played him "Hmm, wings, wait why am i going just as slow"

i agree. but then it needs a slight nerf. maybe more mana or something

Oh, that's a good idea, let's make him even more powerful. Btw, that was sarcasm, I mean the guy's waaay too perfect. I'm not a really good player, I can't beat Tournament in SP with Rook, but with Regulus, it's just so easy, and if you think he's too slow, just buy boots of speed or something, I've never had money problems with him.

Tournament on hard mode, forgot to mention that, I can easily beat easy and normal, even though the ally AI is retarded

Yeah,

 

no...

The last thing a regulus needs is more speed. It's one of their most beneficial stats to have when it comes to survivability, and their main weakness is survivability. Buff speed through wings and you have just made them both strong and enduring.

I think the wings should make him faster but at a cost of mana.  For one he says "This would be fast with wings" all the time.  If the wings made him faster at the cost of more mana, it would make the wings play much differently.  Currently, I can play him with wings on constanly as long as I have the velmish faceguard.  This gives him a bit more options.

You see, there's this thing that's more important than fluffy flavor...

It's called gameplay.

I'd rather see Angelic Fury turn into a giant gaudily bright rather than make AF make Regulus go faster.  If AF increases speed without a significant and constant mana drain, it would be too powerful. If AF did increase speed with a constant mana drain, I don't know if it would either make AF still too powerful or make it a pain in the neck to use.

In any case, is it really necessary to make AF increase Regulus's speed? I somehow doubt that.

Im not saying give him a straight buff, like reply 1 and 6 , take something away or make it cost a lot more.

 

If you have wings, you go faster *period*

He even says he is slow without his wings, yet he is the same speed *period*

 

Im not saying he should be buffed, im saying he should have it added and tweaked.

There are times when game ballance get priority over realism, this is certainly one of those times.

Maybe there isn't much wind where ever they are, or maybe his legs are just as powerful as his wings causing him to go at the same speed no matter if he is using legs or wings.

I personally also agree that Regulus is fine as is, and adding speed to him would definitely impact the balance in this game.

it should be last in tree

He's good enough as is thnak you

 

Next you'll be suggesting that he be immune to all but ranged attacks while using wings or can flw over the gaps in maps.

I don't agree because stacked movement speed already = no deaths most of the time.  We don't need a character with a lot of range and an annoying kiting ability also having a movement speed enhancing skill.

this would free up a slot though.

 

i think maybe current stuff should be lowered and myabe this could add near 5 at  end of the tree

He'd be too good at chasing people do.. :/ and kiting.

Well, uh, yeah. Because that's how wings work.

There are two parts to design: gameplay and theme. Theme is important. Without it, we might as well be moving colored squares around on a black screen filled with numbers. Telling someone with wings they can't avoid a grunt's sword or fly over a short gap in the lanes is like telling someone with a crossbow that they can't shoot with it. It just doesn't make any sense.

You can't throw theme out the window to satisfy game balance, you have to work with the theme. Demigods with wings should be able to fly, demigods with legs should be able to walk, and demigods with bows should be able to shoot. Period. If those demigods then become too powerful because of those abilities, either nerf them in other ways or don't give them wings.

Edited to Add: LOL scyldSCHEFING, I have no idea how I missed your post, saying pretty much the same thing, and much more concisely :-P

I'd be okay with him flying over gaps if when the wings run out he falls to his death... oh wait with the right combo of items he'll never run out!

Regulus is one of the best demigods in the game and, unsurprisingly, one of the easiest to play.  While I agree getting wings is a little ... anticlimactic -- the angelic splendor really isnt there -- "because it FEELS right" isn't a good reason to put something in a game, especially when you'd effectively be buffing an already very strong character.

I agree, AF the way it is, making him faster would just increase an already OP character.  What I know would probably never happen is to redo the entire skill Angelic fury, and make it a one skill point skill only attainable at level 15 and have it a duration skill, locks down all other skills, and increases his movement/attack speed and does AoE dmg for a short period of time and has lets say a 60 second cooldown, because you think Aneglic Fury would be a short burst of angelic rage more than a seemlessly infinite rage if you have the right items.

Reply #21 Top

No...

Just make AF a halo or something and get rid of the wings.

...if it's that important, that is.

Ultroman, I like the way you think -- but then you'd have to have angelic fury sap mana by the second not by the shot.  HEY, doesn't sound too bad!  I think this thread is going places.

Reply #24 Top

Yeah lets give him more speed, because his mime isn't overkill enough, lets fucking hug them while we shoot ya?

Yeah, we could do that. But I already think there's good reason not to use Angelic Fury all the time, because if there's only one mob/demigod around, then its almost wasted mana already. Except for the attack bonus
