I was happy to see that you still feel that the QoT needs a boost, but disappointed to see you think she is actually a "powerful demigod in the right hands." I play the Queen as much as I can, and in about 75% of the lobbies my picking her brings either groans of disgust from my teamates or threats to quit the lobby if I don't change demigods. If the situation is right, I can usually change peoples minds about her, but I'm getting the chance less and less nowadays.
You see, the QoT is like the goofy looking white guy who's really good at hitting the 3 point shot in basketball. As long as he's playing with allstars, it doesn't matter that he can't handle the ball, play defense, rebound, etc. If he's on a mediocre team he should stay on the bench as much as possible.
Queen is the same way. I'll only play her if I have two tier one Demigods on my team and at least one "support" (some would say this is a synonym for underpowered) Demigod on the other team... or one tier one on my team and two "support" on the other team. A good Queen player shielding a good Erebus or UB player will help get a lot of kills on mediocre players playing mediocre demigods which I believe makes her seem more competitive than she really is. However this early game advantage is easily countered by playing safe until later in the game where her lack of stuns, inturrupts, and low health make her a horrible liability in the flag lock wars.
I really hope that GPG can give her a real buff next update... something simple and doable like raising her base speed to 6.3 or giving an inturrupt ability to Spike Wave II? A tower under the affect of Uproot can't attack? I think she needs some significant help, but maybe I'm just biased and she's no worse off than any other "support" Demigod facing The Holy Tier One Trinity Team of LE/Oak/UB that seems way too popular nowadays...
Merry Christmas and thanks for reading.
