    • @TheRosgath
      @TheRosgath หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      ​@shadowseek27 Pocket almost always would go for an early Veilwalker because he's naturally very squishy and has built in negative spirit resist (something that Shields ignore). Veil Walker would dramatically improve his durability (particularly in middle lanes where there are a lot of veils in arms reach of lane creeps).
      Technically it's not a direct nerf to Pocket, but it is a Nerf to an item he relied on heavily for mid-early game

  • @NineConsonants

    I honestly think the t4 item change was primarily for aesthetics, since they previously changed the t3 items as well to a more rounded number. 500, 1250, 3000, 6000 is pretty clean. I know I'd go to the shop sometimes with 6000 thinking I could buy something, and trying to save up for a Berserker + Frenzy I wouldn't instantly think it's 7450.

      It's possible but I would be surprised if that is the case, considering they lowered it from 6500 to 6300 to then 6200 to now 6000 - to me it seems like just buffing the relative power of T4 items. Can't know for sure what the devs are thinking though!

      That's the point of that change. Being able to go for a few t1 shields boosting items, get a barrier or two and then rush vw for 3k is rather way too cheap for such selfsustain and gank / escape potential that'd carry you through the midgame. Esp diving and sniping chars it feels most paralysing to deal with

      It really needed the nerfs. It was the bane of high level and competitive play.. It was always optimal to get a bunch of shields and veil walker because it was super high value for the time frame in which it comes online. It was a case of "if you aren't doing this or your hero doesn't work with this you are throwing"
      If anything it will probably still be picked up and complained about.

  • @rooster3103
    @rooster3103 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm gonna make a prediction here. Since most games last 30+ minutes anyways, bullet armor and spirit armor have always been more OP compared to shields for closing out games, in my opinion. Shields can still be strong early game, but why bother when most games go late game anyways. Especially with shield regen nerf, why build it at all now? With this change, people are only going to realize sooner rather than later that shields are overrated compared to armor. Veil walker is completely garbage now, since lategame the shields are trash. I think it's only a matter of time now till Bullet- and Spirit armor is gonna get nerfed, that is my prediction.

    @d3layed หลายเดือนก่อน

    shields had no resists and practically got melted through mid-late game, it was a way for squishier characters like pocket and paradox to stay in fights longer by getting shields back as well as faster movement speed for rotates. i personally think they should’ve nerfed the T2 barriers instead. Veil Walker would only be worth it at T4 if they buffed the shield + invis duration more because by time you get to a T4 item they have movement slow and more movement items to catch up to a slippery player. Although i believe something could’ve changed with barrier builds, i don’t think this was it and I disliked this veil walker change heavily.

      It was OP but it was needed because it’s obnoxious and half the e shitty noob vindicatas would snowball early because they win lane for free in low elo lobbies and then go 30-1 even when to they’re dogshit ends up lining up a infinite range body shot is something even a monkey can do.
