Which Demigod is NOT overpowered ?

Since everyone seems to name a different demigod thats supposedly OP I thought we should maybe concentrate on DGs that are not OP.

After all, if everyone is OP, then that means it's balanced. :)

So ... I think Queen of Thorns is not OP. She sucks. Ok, nice creep killer spell and the bramble shield is very very useful... but she's got nothing to kill a high level demigod. And the bramble shield is annoying at best, but it gets taken down easy enough. I suspect it doesn't benefit from DG armor, so it easy up the whole damage and collapses soon enough.

A shame really ... with such a nice rack of .. thorns I'd like to play with her more often (hurhur) but I don't see a winning stragety for her.

I'm pretty sure her ability to absorb and sustain quite a few hits should amount to something. A nice gank or two would be much easier if you can absorb the stuns they throw at you. It might not be as preserving as Oak's ability to make himself invincible, but you actually might last longer with the Bramble Shield. Bramble Shield will probably save you from a few Reg's looking to Snipe you as you run away too. And the nice creep killer spell shouldn't be overlooked. It doesn't do a crapload of damage, but it does more than a normal attack and is an AoE attack. You'd be surprised how vulnerable some Generals are without their minions.

She's quite good actually...

They ALL are OP in their own regards.  Just because you don't like a certain Demigod doesn't mean they are OP.  I say they are all balanced quite well, something I wasn't expecting...then again, I'm no expert (or addict) like some... :p

Imo, Regulus and QoT. Regulus has very low base dmg and it's base movement speed is too slow. It doesn't have any chance against any other demigod, 1v1, without some uber items. He needs those uber items to shine. And they cost money, a lot of money. Is fun to play with him though...

QoT is good only vs structures, but not as good as Rook.. Her shield is good at the beginning, but it's kinda useless later, when it only takes 1-3 hits to take it down. Her wave attack is weak also. The most boring demigod there is. The only one, imo, as i don't like to play with her at all..

QoT with a minion build is better than Rook against towers, and has more staying power.

Torch is easily the most underpowered hero. He doesn't have any shield or immunity, no heals, a movespeed increase which he has to be in a form that offers no control over heroes, and spells never scale as well as physical attacks or +life items will. Takes until mid game at least to be truly useful with a frost/fire build (which is imo the most powerful)

Contrary to what it says in the OP, Queen of Thorns is definitely OP - especially on Dominate - because she's darn near impossible to kill thanks to absorbing all the damage and hence can cap flags constantly and its hard to do anything about .

Not OP:  Regulus, Unclean Beast, and Rook.

UB is deff underpowered, no question about it. spit needs to be stonger, stun twice as long and he needs more dps.

 

k thx bye!!!

Torch Bearer can be extremely powerful, he just requires alot more management to avoid damage. Rain of Ice III is devastating to entire armies late game but Fireball definitely doesn't scale well once you start going up against higher level Demigod's. I typically stack as much +Movement items and the max out the buff just to stay from Unclean Beasts which are a TB's worst enemy.

I really hope "overpowered" starts disappearing from the forums some day. I'm not saying opinions on the subject are irrelevant, they've all had very good points, but Demigod is a game based on team play. 1v1 of course some dg's have a better chance to survive the outcome but claiming it's op is really hard to judge because it was just 1v1. I dunno, I just like the game the way it is now, maybe they can tweak some things but there are no dg's in the game right now with "sure win" stamped on their forehead. Just my opinion, I don't mean to offend or anything :sun:

For as long as there are people playing a game who can't accept their own failures for a lost game, there will always be the cry of OPness. Thats like online gaming 101 or something.

Totally agree, Rain is a great spell once you've hit rank 2 even cause it pretty much kills an entire non-upgraded wave (who upgrades troop like at lvl 1 anyways?). I feel fire isn't all that great though, frost nova does at range what fire nova has to do more upclose and personal. And circle of fire to me just seems like a useless spell, where I could just use Rain or Nova to do the same thing, in a much larger radius and range without putting myself in harms way.

Played QoT last night a few times and either I just don't understand her, or she's just really underpowered. She's alright for support, that shield is abusive but outside of that she doesn't seem to offer a whole lot. It could have been the team makeups, or the fact that it was an hour long game, or  just that I'm just REALLY bad with her, I just don't really see where she's better than an Oak or a Sedna instead (not referring to Pantheon mode)

From my casual forum browsing, I vote that this is the correct answer.  And QoT.

Some losses are just unavoidable. depending on map/DG's and opponent strength, sometimes you're knackered right from the start and it no failure of your own play. Some DG/builds/maps are just unbeatable if your opponent plays beyond a certain skill level. Ive had games I've lost, and while not claiming I couldnt have played better, I would be prepared to claim if I had it wouldnt have made much difference to the final outcome.

 

2 Rooks spamming towers on prison for example is extremely hard to beat. Not impossible of course, but thats assuming a less-than-perfect opponent. Perfect play against perfect play may be a forced win. Im not sure of course, and this is just 1 example.

Queen of Thorns is basically the only demigod I play, and for a good reason, I think she' honestly the most overpowerd demigod in the game.  The problem is she's 100% reliant on teamwork and good partners, I have 1 friend I play most of the time with and we have never lost a game, played our share of good team players and other premade teams. I lose probably about half of my randomly joined custom games with her though.

No DG is overpowered but Lord Erebus with heavy gear.

UB does need a bit of "fixing".

 

TB and QoT prob. could use some fixin too (minor buffs)

 

all the others are mostly fine (and please don't say the Rook is UP, he's just perfect and can make many wins or losses depending how good/bad you play him)

I agree completly with this. She is my choice demigod for custom games with people I know on vent. Why? Because in an organized setting, your team can become very, very, very hard to kill with her around. She is definitly not a good choice for people who want to kill everything, and win all of the kill, kill streak, etc., awards. But if you care about winning, and you care about teamwork, and you like knowing that you are the reason why your team almost never has to retreat from battle, then she is the character of choice.

Regulus seems weak in 1v1.  Try playing 1v1 Dominate on crucible.  You want to build up a killer snipe level, but there's no place to grind grunts in peace, and going head to head with UB, even early on, is hopless. 

So, while I wouldn't say that Reg is underpowered (enough with the double negatives already) his power seems to be biase toward the latter game/levels.

well, the guys at gpg said their number 1 goal was to make every hero feel overpowered, in that, no matter hero you choose you feel like your just too damn powerful
