Almost. I use them on UB for instance.

Most of the top tier players. Well I'm not one of them.

They're a usefull consumable, sure. But in the end a sigil will only give a weak pusher a little more oomph to beat a superior lanecontroller. But it comes at a price, and 500 goldpieces is quite hefty for an one use item if you ask me. If you died because the other guy popped his sigil that's your wrongdoing, you shouldn't be so low anyway or so far from base. Bottomline: great item for high health characters with few escape options but very costly.

It's a 500 gold item that's more effective and reliable than artifact potions. Everyone decent uses it virtually every fight, it needs to go.

hehe deathweaver is a follower of the sigil school=]. still not using it.

If people actually start using potions then you may actually see a bit better competition from the currently weaker ones, as they tend to have lower max HP and potions don't benefit you more heavily depending on the size of your health pool. Also cataract would be a bit more interesting with the slightly lessened benefits of the HP flag.

if you nerf the duration of sigil you give a MASSIVE buff to Spit.

Huge. Massive. Gamebreaking.

Unless, of course, you can dispell it: Oak, Erebus, Sedna.

Why? Sigils work like this:

I have 1000 hp and 5000 max hp. I sigil, and my max hp increases by 2500. So does my current -> 3500. For simplicity's sake we'll assume that you have 20 hps and there are no monks on the field (or other forms of healing).

Let's make the duration of sigils to be 12 seconds. So, over 12 seconds you would heal 12 * 20 == 240 health. While fleeing the combat, I take 800 damage from autoattack over 5 seconds, and then I get spit on with Spit III which does 150 damage on impact and 1150 damage over ten seconds (115 per tick). So, right before your sigil drops you would have 3740 - 800 - 150 - 7*115 == 1985 hp. When your sigil drops, you would drop 2500 hp, dropping you down to 1 hp. The last three ticks of spit kills you. If the duration of sigils were 20, you would have been fine since it would have worn off before the sigil dropped. 

Spit isn't an instant kill right now because we have 20 seconds of regen AND it's hard to remain in combat with a sigil for long enough to get spat on again. Now, if I see someone sigil and I have a decently large spit... wait a sigil's duration - 5 seconds, spit, walk away. Get a kill. Wash rinse repeat. And trust me it shouldn't be too hard to stay in combat for 7 seconds.

The fact that this item is so superior to even artifact potions that you wouldn't even consider the possiblity of someone using one of those instead shows how broken they are.

This item is total bullshit, completely overpowered. Doesn't even do what the tooltip says it does.

I've never played a game that let's you more than double your current health INSTANTLY with either an inexpensive item or ability.  This is just retarded... it lets you escape death so easily not to mention even get an extra kill. Fighting against someone who you're winning against and are about to kill and having them pop this bullshit is so annoying and cheap and lame.

The item doesn't make any sense at all, if it increases your total health by 50%, why the hell doesn't it do the same to your current health?

Ie if you have 5k max health, but only 1k current health, and pop it, it should increase your max health to 7.5k and current health to 1.5k, NOT TO 3500 WTF IS THAT, it should be consistent so it applies the 50% to both current and max, why the hell does it increase the max by 50% and take that value and apply it to current, that makes no sense whatsoever.

I actually made a thread several months ago pointing how that this item doesn't do what it's supposed to, but got flamed by idiots who were like "its not OP because you can buy it too", you're a complete retard if that is your argument... if there was an item costing 1k gold that lets u instakill a demigod within 30 yards, the game would degenerate into who can click on the button to use the item first once within range. Would you say its not an OP item since everyone can buy it..

I mean wtf artifact potions are completely obsolete.

Sigil must be nerfed hard, or at least, give us BANNED ITEMS MODE.

Make it an assassin Favor item if you ask me. THat way we get a counter to priests. And it isn't truely broken. Make it 15 seconds. * but make the buyable item 1k for 20 seconds *. TO cheap for what it does. SO many ub's and Oaks pop it and run.

Now you just sound like a moron.

I believe 500 dollars for a single use justifies its power because you can waste a sigil just as easily as you can waste a pot, tp scroll, gadget or any other consumeable. I find myself saying wtf did I use that sigil for when I could have just tp'd out, used shield etc... etc... its a skilled item and if you use it wrong there went 500 bucks.

If you have to rely on a Sigil constantly to stay alive, you're a pussy and deserve to die a horrible death. Sigil's are for complete noobs.
