I'll agree that lvl 1 snipe and maybe level 2. I'm not sold on lvl3 being useless. I've seen too many people sniped by it.

150-300-450 I believe is the progression. Should the lower levels be raised? Maybe make it 300-400-500?
But I think that gives the ability too much application due to the range. I think the damage needs to be somewhat low but not to a point of uselessness.

Thoughts?

Well, honestly, thats exactly why I asked here.

In playing with someone in a 3v3 as Reg, he did a DAMN good job. The snipe alone was one of the most influential abilities of the game.
I can see when creeps actually aggro on you how his mines will demolish them. I do think he needs to be buffed, I just dont think hes the mess of a Character that he seemed to be at first.

There will always be those rare few people out there who can take an underpowered thing and play it so it seems to be on par.

When I'm playing them, at least, there seems to me to be a clear power difference between Regulus and the other ones.

He either needs to be brought up to speed with the others in terms of abilities (mildly better snipe and way better normal mines) or the items that made him unbeatable brought back in. Also i rekon his slow should last slightly longer and his sinpe scope should add a minor damage bonus. I agree that he isnt as bad as he origionally looked, but he still needs buffing

I miss Regulus

I loved how Regulus worked before ON MY TEAM.
Knowing the mines were always there if I needed to retreat into them. Being able to call SNIPE to a friend is fun as hell. The tracking? Simply amazing.

Playing him...was a different matter.
The mines were great, but not active enough to be a fun ability to use. The snipe is great, but the uses are sometimes far between. His range is great, but it's not fun to just watch your character shoot.

So my question still remains: Is his utility worth the fun factor exchange?

Isn't half the point behind him being a demigod in the first place that he got his wings chopped off and his fellow angels rejected him?

Yah i agree he does need wing time more often. Maybe a move or something that makes him fly around aunit dishing out damage on it while dodging all attack on it or something.

Quoting GameReplays,

Descended from a race of angels, Regulus was one of his race's mightiest warriors, leading the angelic army into battle after battle. Betrayed by his second-in-commmand, Regulus was turned over to an enemy Demigod who brutually tore off Regulus' wings. When Regulus returned home, he was immediately ostracized by his fellow angels, who felt that he had shamed them by allowing his wings to be removed.

Banished from his home world, Regulus began to carve out an existence as a dark avenger, exacting revenge upon all of those that would harm others.

Doh.

Yeah, I know his story, which is why I feel the ghost of his wings would look cool, just for the look.

LOL AT SPIDER MINES! that would kick so much ass, id laugh if the chased indefinatly and u were low hp, get  to ur base, and BAM 3-4 run into killing you. Although getting past lots of towers might be hard.

In terms of his mines, I think they should be activatable, 2 types, walk in and boom, or wait hit a hot key to detonate, I hated laying a few mines in a row and what now, only to have 1 or 2 minos take them out...

Yah they would only chase for a step or two, and be assigned priority when visible for any ranged unit like archers or towers.  I'm thinking this or a trip wire - something that really allows area denial as well as harrassment - would make minelaying more dynamic
