      lol regen meta just died. time to go back the ole reliable 6 tangoes in lane. and RIP Meepo too

      ScaredyCat

        Useless Snapfire nerfed 7 times in a row. My Jakiro thrashes him hands down.

        ScaredyCat

          After one buff patch they repair it with one nerf patch zzz

          Violeta

            Why? Snap is literally the same bro. 20 less damage on all levels of Q is irrelevant compared to all the utility she gives. She still has an insane ultimate, longest spammable stun in the game and reliable slow on an insane range. She needs a couple of nerfs tbh(nerf the stun by around 0.25 and slow to scale from the distance you get hit, maybe 50% to 125% if you get closer to get that value pick) because she's still super strong pick at the 4/5. Still a good first pick.

              Strong 3 or 4 patches ago. Sorry, unless you got good synergy with lockdown heroes like faceless void or underlord, his damage is quite poor. They reduced his base dmg by 10%, his 2nd and 3rd skill by 22% at lvl1. They nerfed so many things, imagine how much gold he became handicapped at lvl1. Stop encouraging people to play snapfire pls.

              9o_o6

                good meepo exploiters will finally derank.

                  @Dreadnought325 Useless Snapfire? No wonder why you are Archon lol. Snapfire is one of the most broken heroes in the game. Her ulti automatically wins the team fight unless countered.

                  ScaredyCat

                    @exeqtor. Lol, then why didnt you play snapfire 3 or 4 patches ago? He was broken in the past but now is shit. Go play snap and prove it then.

                    Pale Mannie

                      lol dead game only nerfs haha XDDDD

                      Jack__Attack

                        I still cant believe they buffed lycan a few patches ago now they nerf him every mini patch realizing their mistake.

                        Violeta

                          Lycan a bit balanced now. He still has his power spike early but you need to play careful since your ultimate is one of the longest cd in the game at lvl 1.

                          kowareta

                            LOL that hawk would give a lot of xp and gold to enemies, is that a buff now?? who even cares about blocking camps :/ most pos 4s doing it themselves

                            i dont know why they dont change/nerf snapfire ult, just fucking make that hero balanced, its not about Q W E its just his ult tha fucking broken

                            ETd

                              Why don't they just move Meepo's ult back in line with the rest of the characters, at 6-12-18

                              Tyski

                                Guess kotl + medusa is the meta now

                                Riki

                                  Aura still good

                                  Meia Vida

                                    @ETdAWESOME I agree with you, they should just make Meepo ult 6 12 18 like the rest.
                                    The hero is probably still broken

                                      @ETdAWESOME, meepo will die in the meta lol. he needs that early meepo clone so he can farm fast and do stuff. meepo is literally a walking creep before his ult. moving it to 4/11/18 is ok because it delays a little bit but he's still a good cheese pick. he just hits so slow at early levels compared to before

                                      ETd

                                        The only other change I can see them doing to balance him would be to require Aghs for the stat share, like it used to. And I say that as a former Meepo player.

                                          i am trying hard to keep myself back from answering to this mental comment above

                                          ETd

                                            @Cowboy
                                            say it. I'm not afraid to take criticism. I know my comment is dumb to other, better Meepo players.

                                            free mmr wen

                                              "Why don't they just move Meepo's ult back in line with the rest of the characters, at 6-12-18"

                                              -it was actually this comment of yours that is very disturbing. cause meepo depends on his clones v much so he has to have it earlier.
                                              so they buffed it way back to 4 and then even to 3.

                                              "The only other change I can see them doing to balance him would be to require Aghs for the stat share, like it used to. And I say that as a former Meepo player."

                                              -Whilst on this opinion of yours i am pretty much with u. give back aghanims and geostrike. id be fine with that. bring back old stats share only with aghs.
