Hey guys,
Ok, so i learned today that clan wars has favor items disabled. This worries me considering i am heavily dependant on my favor item, and also because my favor item (BotS) saves me gold, i basically need no mana items with it. I talked with my clan and they said it was because the Generals favor items compared to Assasins favor items are completly imbalanced. The Assasins favor items rock basically and the generals favor items are next to useless because the minions themselves are useless.
So, we have Oak, Erebus, Sedna and QoT with minions. I know for a fact that an Oak without minions is a weak Oak. Im not too sure about Erebus's minions however i have played against a minion erebus and it seemed quite effective. That leaves Sedna and QoT. Their minions aren't even worth getting, they are so completly useless that when i see a Sedna or QoT putting points into minions, i know my team is going to win that game. Now, Shamblers may be a bit useful but only as a sacrifice to heal the QoT, and mid-late game they don't scale well at all.
So im suggesting that all minions should just buff up the Demigod, just like Oaks minions do. It works for Oak so why not for other demigod? Also, i would like to make it so that the minions each give a different buff. So Oaks minions increase his damage, QoT's minions could increase her armor for each one she has up and Sedna's minions could, well she already has a ton of health and all that so i think Sedna's minions should just get a good damage boost, maybe something similar to the siege archers. I would say more damage than the siege archers since they are melee minions, but maybe a bit less health or something like that. As for Erebus's minions, im not really sure. Like i said i've played against a minion erebus and he was pretty decent but i was a noob at the time so things could be much different now.
Also, instead of making an entirely new post, i just want to talk about generals favor items. Honestly, i've never used a single general favor item, probably because i play TB exclusively. But the point im trying to get across is that because of the minions in their current state, most people dont even get Generals favor items, because they play generals like assasins, and therefore just get the universal favor items. So, if someone who has more insight than i do on the generals favor items, please put your input on what you think needs to be changed, if anything at all, i may be wrong about the generals favor.
So thats all for now, tell me what you think.
