he has a good point guys seriously, right now generals are playing like assassins, if none of you realise that generals should rely on there minions more than themselves being awesome please think through it again.
almost all competative generals i've played have ignored minions almost entirly apart from monks, comeon if im playing a general i want it to be viable to play almost exclusivly with my minions.
slurple isnt saying generals are op, hes saying there not playing like generals
and i dont think slurple could suck so bad, i mean he was in the beta for a quite a while..... and hes possibly the biggest troll of all time.
but my view of generals being generals remains unwavered..
Eh, I personally think that if you're relying only on your minions then the game is going to get boring. Just sit behind towers and send your minions out to attack? How would the playstyle of four generals differ? They get four different units in total, and only one of those four units is unique to the general. Also, if you buff minions, how are other players going to feel about that? When you get minions with 2k health being healed by monks it's gonna get a little stupid, and repetitive. It's not like you can control anything beyond the movement and targets of your minions either, they don't have many activateable abilities, and speccing for minions isn't going to go beyond getting gear that gives +HP to your minions or +damage to their attacks. Not to mention how vulnerable minions are to AoE... minions get stunned for a good five seconds with some skills, and they're not going to be doing much burst damage to anyone.
I wouldn't mind having one general that was pure minions... but changing all four to be more minion oriented seems a little silly to me. Maybe a future Demigod with only have skills related to minions?
