Here's the catch: based on currently commonly accepted DG tiering, both QoT and Occ don't really need to be any more powerful. Of course, Reg = epic fail late game, unless a better player wants to handicap himself. So maybe really giving Reg an interrupt is a more pressing issue, so to say. In other words, Occ with interrupt will become T1, QoT will be a very very very high T2 (I think she's a low T2 as it is), while Reg... well, he will probably become viable in more matchups than he is now.

That's for Pacov to answer

Well, so he wants three interrupts for Sed. Is that a sin, Hedgie?

Uh no interrupt on any of those DG's.

If you want to buff them:

Give reg 6.3 movement speed

Give QoT + 500 more mana at level 1

Impliment the UberFix changes on Oculus.

Give QoT + 500 more mana at level 1

Well, it will make playing QoT early game, when she kinda struggles w/o helms, somewhat easier (another GS I-II/BS I-II is nice). Won't change much in a global perspective, though, and Blood QoT is no slouch early game anyway, so dunno...

what does giving reg 6.3 movement speed do to increase his viability late game?

pretty sure frost nova is both a stun and interrupt. 

Oculus does not need an interrupt, he simply needs all of his broken/useless skills (everything BL-related, Sacrifice, lightning proc) buffed to usability.  He's already a multi-target damage machine; adding an interrupt to one of his abilities would necessarily make him excessively powerful.

Regulus should have a guaranteed interrupt on snipe when he has Deadeye.  Same with Impedance Bolt.  This would make these abilities much more worthwhile, and give him a long-range albeit somewhat slow interrupt that would work against capture locks and teleports from ~50-80 range if noticed soon enough.  This (along with MotB) would solidify his role as an ability-disruptor.

I think he's also weak enough to justify activation of any of his own MotB on a target hit by his snipe.  At max snipe and MotB, this would give him a two-part, high mana cost nuke for ~1650 damage, part of which can be 'safely' pre-detonated via sigil, potion, port, etc.  But I doubt there would be consensus on this.

Ptarth and LO's QoT mod adds an interrupt to Spike Wave, and I think it works fine.  I'm not sure I approve of how they boosted Tribute or Bramble IV (immunity needs to be ablative with the shield), and I don't think the mod does enough to her 'siege' ability (can't remember the name), but otherwise I think its changes are mostly positive and could not possibly be considered 'overpowered'.

There are a ton of little boosts like this that would make many demigods a lot more varied and would give them a much greater number of viable builds and strategies, but I'm not sure how much consensus there would be on the specifics, since everyone seems to have greatly differing opinions about which demigods are weak and powerful (other than the obvious ones at each end of the spectrum, e.g. UB and Reg/QoT).

While I was actually playing DG, I played around with a lot of these useless abilities, and thought about releasing a balance mod, but wasn't really experienced enough at the game to do so with any kind of assurance that it would be used.  My motivation is pretty low right now, but if there's actually interest in this, and if any kind of consensus could be reached on how to boost some of these useless abilities, I could probably do the coding.

consult with hedgie he has a pretty good idea about the game and especially the numbers!

ps: never listen to cow, he's a good player but has no idea what he talks about 99%

ah - so that's the distinction - gotcha.  Thanks for clarifying. 

I vote Hedgie for Commissioner of Balance. 

We all agree that the game needs a little balance tweaking and since we all can't agree on the specifics, I think we should have Hedgie decide what should be implemented if we could ever go through with Pacov's plan of getting a patch automatically available to everyone.

1) His understanding of the game is the equal to anyones. 

2) He wouldn't overdo it and overbuff or overnerf anything, which is just about the worst thing that could happen from this.

3) He's not the biased type.  Sure he loves Sedna... but I doubt he'd even change anything about her since he considers her the ideal of a balanced demigod.  Well... aside from her yetis.

LOL Zen go fuck yourself.

My main problem with this post is throwing interrupts on all the DG's will make the DG's feel bland. Every DG does not need an interrupt or stun, thats just silly. I like a bit of diversity in play styles. If this is intended to balance demigods then this is a terrible way to go about it. I will go into what I think needs to be done to balance this game.

REG

If you think regulus is not viable late game you haven't played him enough. Every reg turns into an AA reg, get ashkandor is #1 goal for reg past getting giants. Reg is the man in large ganks, if you watch Orchin or my play as reg late game we are in on ever major fight laying mines and marking people like crazy. Reg offers up a huge amount of burst damage after level 10. If your goal is to make him into UB, Oak, Erebus or Rook you have the wrong idea. He is not ment to stand there and tank damage that is his unique identity compared to other DGs.

6.3 movement speed would give reg extremely good kiting through the entire game and will keep him out of trouble for the most part.

DA

I think that DA also needs a base speed of 6.3.

He will be able to approach faster making him even better at suprise gank kills. Thats what he is designed to do.

Remove warp areas level 15 ability and replace with a damage increase of 250, DA now throws smaller units into the air at rank 1 of warp area. Decrease Warp Areas mana cost and increase damage to level 1 500,  level 2 750, level 3 1k

This will help DA's biggest down fall AoE damage.

QoT

I would argue she does not need a buff.

If anything would be done to her increase her base mana pool by 500, she will be a monster early game.

TB

Increase Frost nova's "Freeze" effect by .5s for each level.

That is all.

LEAVE THE REST OF THE DEMIGODS UNTOUCHED    

ofc uberfixes need to be implimented for oculus though

@my master Hedgie:

QoT struggles early game? That's news to me. 

That's because there is no QoT in DoW2, I guess

Now, seriously, if you consider my whole post instead of focusing on the words "QoT" and "struggles" exclusively, you'll also see that I said: "she kinda struggles w/o helms" and "Blood QoT is no slouch early game". Struggles w/o helms = very mana-intensive with relatively costly lvl I-II abilities (400-560 range). I clearly didn't mean to imply she is weak early game, just that her mana consumption is a bit too high.

@Thunder: 

I vote Hedgie for Commissioner of Balance. 

Yes. I tend to disagree with his claims/evaluations sometimes, but he's highly analytical, objective and always cares to elaborate. In fact, I think he's wasting his apparently academical mindset on being a programmer instead of writing a doctoral dissertation in mathematics, but I suppose you have to eat something, too...

@Zen: 

ps: never listen to cow, he's a good player but has no idea what he talks about 99%

Heh, I assume it was a joke There are some good players that just don't have that analytical streak to them. Cow likes to talk like he's 14 y. o. sometimes, but he clearly is an analytical type. He amazed me several times with quite radical and original, but clearly well-thought ideas/suggestions (for example: "Sed, you are useless!!! Silence that Rook, ffs!!!"... nah, just kidding! )
