S2 Balancing - ITEMS (UPDATED 2/26)

Interesting on heroes.

Now what items are S2 most looking at?

Right now, the main item the designers are looking at is Sacrificial Stone. We actually talked a bit about this during the last Honcast podcast found here: http://www.honcast.com/video/2011/12/15/honcast-weekly-podcast-episode-40-w-s2-staff-discu

It's a very underused item (actually the least used, according to the statistics on the HoN website!) and is far too expensive for the benefits it affords. It used to be a solid pickup on heroes like Defiler and Soul Reaper but has since been pushed aside in favor of other options. Basically we're trying to "resurrect" the item so it's actually used again.

At the moment, the designers are still looking closely at Helm of the Black Legion. It recently received a major rework and thus they're keeping a close eye on it to see if it requires any more adjustments.
