You know there are items to make it so it doesn't kill in one hit?..

Yah but you can pick up an item that alows for unlimited warps in a small area around you, with a small cooldown time. With Rook, you just rip people apart, you rip the enemies apart, and more importantly, you demolish the enemy base.

The point is, it's just another way to use Rook's overpowered abilities to their best. He's just built to defeat his enemies, and with the items in the shops he basically becomes too strong, compared to the others.

cause already everyone is 2 strong if anything nerf rook and make the minataurs archers and the fat chair guy stronger killing them is 2 easy

I don't see a problem with Regulus. It's all about build . The mines could use a little buff but my snipe / stats build works great with 50% attack speed and +200 dmg from items he's ridiculous.

QFT.

Games that are decided on team composition before you start to play are annoying. There should be a way to do well with any demi against any other demi, otherwise 1v1 won't be fun, and it could be fun, and it would be a shame if it weren't.

Of course the question as to whether or not the creeps are sufficiently powerful is an important one. The Rooks big advantage here is that even at level 1 he can clear an entire lane of enemies about as swiftly as a level 20 hero in DoTA, and I can see how that might be a bit jarring. His basic attacks having an AoE effect might certainly be problematic, especially once generals are brought into the equation. I think the general consensus is that the creeps should generally be a bit more powerful, but this is all stuff that is extremely easy to balance once we hit, you know, the balancing part of the beta.

I had to laugh a little, because those are major freaking nerfs. Getting the base +damage coefficient nerfed from 200%>125% alone is a massive change.

Not that I'm saying it might not be needed. Actually your post made me think of something that's kind of interesting... I never have mana problems in this game, and I'm not exactly going for hefty regen items. Mana definitely needs to get worked on in general to be more of a limiting factor.

Mkay.. its me again, the Dota comparer

I think the Rook is not that Op. As a few said before, you can dodge the boulder with a bit of training, it's even better, when you get some movementspeed. A bigger cooldown is also a good suggestion, since 5sec. of stun to more than 1 guy, if you hit well is pretty strong. I'd say use it like an "Ultimate" ability. Yes, these exist in Dota, and can only achieved at a higher hero lvl - such skill also exist here, which are also as powerful as those in dota, some are nearly the same. And these ultis - since the gamespeed is only a bit slower than Dota - got normaly CD above 30sec. Because in a teamup 5 sec. of stun can be enough to change a 5v5 => 5v3..

Frog, you say, why not make everyone more powerful.. Well, there is just one problem with that. A perfect balance will never be achieved, so where is the limit in powering up Demigods, whenever one is stronger than another? At the end, the whole game is just a 1 Stun + 1 Ability = Kill, so everything that counts is who can burst his combo faster... and then we''re on the way to Dota, which often is like that. And nobody wants that.

The Teleporting Scpeter is reeeeally cool. Again, there exist also an Item in Dota, called Kelen's Dagger of Escape which does the same. Also same cooldown but a little more range than here. BUT it wasn't a good items. Games on high lvl play were full of Daggers + they went nearly twice as long as normal games, because of crazy escape mechanism. Blink (short range teleport) is really powerful, and should be used with care. So, all Icefrog did, was nerfing the Port-Stick so it could only be used as an initiator. It still ports you, got the same Cd etc. but it gets disabled for 3sec. whenever you take a hit. Makes it impossible to escape with it, but its good for slow heros or tanks/demigods who need to initiate the fight.

PS: See, such a statement, like the one to the Artifact, can only be made by comparison to Dota. It was one of the bigger mistakes in the Dota-History, and Demigod does not have to do the same.

Edit: Abrahams shoul be more expensive imo. -25% cooldown is veeeery strong, he should cost also +10k. And they could add more damage items than only 3 (2 gloves and 1 ring right?). Didn't count the stats on artifacts

So long,

Aspartem

hammer smash damage is FINE.

It just needs longer cast time, which it's getting.

And frankly, i'd LOWER the cooldown on the hammer smash.

There is nothing wrong with Hammer smash really. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.  It targets the ground.
It's that you can stun people forever and easily hit them with it that makes hammer smash seem so powerful.

your argument about moving doesn't work if you're in the middle of using a skill

Well also one reason why the stun+hammer is so strong is that the ranges in general are very small imo standard range should be that of an upgraded regulus. (i.e. give all ranged units +4 range)
