[Suggestion] QT or not QT

from Demigod Forums

The QT is.. IMO.. really underpowered..

Shamblers are weak, don't hurt much and if you want to have a lot of them and more powerful ones you have to spend so much skill points.. (Yetis are much more easy to use, summon and support)

You can summon only 2 by 2.. If you want to heal.. it's complicated since they can die easily even if you have just summoned them..

Switching mode is a bit slow. She should at least be able to switch while running, really (since scarabs are running for her ^^)

She has more skills and not more points.. and Compost should... for a plant, heal her slowly..

The good point is her big area spell.. she happily has this one because the spike wave isn't a good spell.

The shield is good, and combined with eating shamblers it's ok but it s not (globally) effective enough because you need to spend skill points for shamblers, eating them and shield to tank. Sedna's spell use less and still do 200 area damage at highest level.

And finally the skill for structures.. now works better with compost but do less base damage than before (2000 now).. ok it s a distance spell but when I see Rook dealing the same and healing in the same time...

I don't know.. tell me if I'm wrong, I feel weaker than others when I play her.. even if she is really pleasant to play..(and could be more ^^)

Shamblers need help, but I'm wondering how much of that is psychological.  You don't see them doing anything unless you look really hard and notice the little chain of spikes rippling out from them doing...37 damage.  I vote for a slight buff on shambler damage and improved animation showing that they are actually hurting your opponents - Shambler punches front legs deep into the ground, spikes ripple out from there...

Also why does one of QoT's abilities reward her for killing her minions?  It should be the other way around - she can feed a chunk of her health to her minions or sacrifice one minion to buff the others...  

That said -

I have seen some effective QoT play without minions. 

Especially with Bramble.  That ability is awesome.

I too think that the Queen of Thorns is too weak. I played her in some games against the ai and it's exactly as you said, the minions are too weak and the AoE skill seem to be if at all as strong as other character's skills, so she needs a buff with her minions or with her other skills (or a bit of both)

And changing form while running is a good idea and healing with compost too.

I prefer to play her without minions. And that's sad for a general, especially when she can't support..

She could, for example, have an aura giving a 5/10/15 damage back shield or a spell which can root,immobilize, and deal some damage over time.

Even if we have to sacrifice Spike Wave for this ^^

QoT is the weakest by far. She can't do more than 150 damage to other demigods. Her one saving grace was Compost and tower sniping, but they nerfed that to only benefit minions. The spikes are decent, but they can't keep up with the spam later on. Shamblers are useless.

Indeed agree. I vote for a little love to the queen.

Besides being very weak in every aspect, Shamblers are probably the dumbest minion in the game, yetis are dumb but Shamblers are dumber. Most of the times, when in a corridor, they can't get position to hit targets.

if you have more minions (melee, ranged, priests), Shamblers can't get past them to get in range and hit enemies, they just stand there running around the same place and leave to find another target after a while.

Every sumonable minion has problems with responding to attack commands and keeping attacking their target till it is dead.
