Why the erebus nerf makes sense

from Stardock Forums

To think that the nerf was done soley based on pantheon is a rediculous conjecture. There are a lot more statistics that I am sure Stardock and GPG have at their disposal. Also, If you look up posts on the damage/ heal to mana ratio of erebus's bite it starts making even more sense. Keep in mind, alot of pantheon games are not just 1 v 1's.

What do you guys think?

I play erebus like 80% of the time, i dont see the nerf affecting me raping other demigods when im at levels 8+. This nerf will just add to the enjoyment of reading the .. " Good job you killed me as erebus, im real impressed /sarcasm".

Ther nerf was done soley because of whining forum crawlers. If you read my thread "Why the erebus nerf was foolish" you will see the exact reasons why. Nothing besides the pantheon statistics are relavent. He is mid range. He does not need a nerf.

Erebus needs a nerf, but not a nerf to bite damage.  Mist needs to be fixed.  It should not allow any mana gain, it should not remove all negative affects.  Bite should not slow.

I'd argue against your point but you're too far gone. You actually think it's only because of the forums? Wow....

If they were appeasing the forum crawlers, then spit and towers would have taken a big hit as well.  They haven't been touched.  Erebus's bite is clearly an issue that's been isolated as special and different.  Before the information confirming the balance change was released, Erebus' bite was discussed roughly equally with these other issues.

While I would not say they nerfed it completely because of forum activity, I would say that I have been seeing Erebus threads and rage alot longer than rook tower/spit threads. In those threads, you usually have the majority agreeing that tower spam is fine and that spit is not a real threat.
