More stats and abilities with really questionable balance. Loki with the same base stats and scaling as Osiris, Thor with more stats than any warrior not named Hercules- but they both retain their ability to slam with the aspect????

I asked the other day why Anubis 1 had a 10 second CD but Hercules had the slowest shittiest CD in the game. As expected, I had some good informative ball knowledge answers mostly based on feels.

But most didn't realize Herc was sitting at a 53% winrate when he was slammed- they would tell me he was the best God in the game. Anubis right now is at a 63% winrate.

Look at these abilities and stats.

What do you notice about Loki? Despite having a giant deployable circle that slows and provides damage reduction- his ability comes online FASTER and is on a shorter cooldown than judgement tether.

Osiris passive is still somehow weaker despite requiring management in game- and gets nerfed by his in kit attack speed stim (showing they don't actually know how to balance their own characters that they made because more attack speed = less uptime on his passive).

So Loki is tankier, is more consistent, doesn't get trolled by his own passive, and still has his 3 which SLAMS base damage at max rank is 385 + 85% scaling with str. ON A 9 SEC BASE CD

Meaning even if you stood with him face to face with any warrior and tried to bully him in lane, he would just bully you by being tankier and out clearing you all skill level equal.

Thor's base stats are tankier than Bellona, Amaterasu, and Osiris despite them being melee bruisers that literally have to walk up and punch you over and over.

Thor can teleport, stun from across the lane, and has a global ultimate.

That's why Bellona and Ama feel so awful. What's the point of playing a melee bruiser when you're not tanky enough to even do the basic function of your role which is to walk up, auto attack your opponent, and out sustain them in a fight?

EDIT: I forgot assassins also have the base movement speed of 380 so they can just kite most people.

When you feel useless on warriors, your perception isn't off. They're nerfed. This balance is not good.

Sara ☹️

She was making such good progress.

She should know by now how full of shit this place is, why would she backtrack ☹️

She was literally just talking to Elgin about how the place lies. Now she's gonna believe em? And who does she care about? Sophia the girl she just met?

I think it's cool that it sort of insinuates that the MIY or whoever else is talking to her is mostly full of shit when they start manipulating and threatening people- and that it relies on mania and belief and not supernatural intervention, but not at the cost of Sara backsliding into being a puppet.

I don't wanna watch her character get destroyed by bad writing.

It's also making me believe he just knows how the magic of the place works and how to invoke it rather than him having the power to control everything.

I'm engaged with a fiance. She's genuinely very sweet and a great person so please don't judge her based off this one instance.

But she gets upset if I send my sister/mom money. I come from a poor background and I was blessed with the skills and opportunities to leave that life and I have a great career. So I support my family whenever they need anything because I remember when I needed help.

Most importantly my niece and nephew, I was going to start a college fund for them and my girlfriend got a little upset. So I got upset and it was a whole thing.

She believes as a husband and hopefully father, I should put my wife and household first and plan for our kids. I believe they deserve a better life than I had and I'm in a position to help.

I don't expect answers so just looking for other experiences
