Armodon

[Bloodaxe]

Sorry for not being able to spell this guy's name out correctly. Armadon is the right name. but i can't change the post tittle

After played 20+ matches with this guy, I either feel that he is too powerful, or that I am just getting lucky.

Match after match going 8-0 10-2 (not on this account) I feel that he is one of the hero's people do not play at all, but he is a really good hero.

If you rush the Helm of the Black Legion then Runed Axe , with some kind of boots, you can be almost unstoppable.. the snot and quill attack are spammable without ever going out of mana once you get a mana tube. no one can get away from you, the Snot attack just slows way to much, and the quills start to hit way to hard.

I feel like I am cheating when i play this hero, and I do think he needs to be tuned down just a bit, problyly makeing the snot slow less. I feel like as soon as I can snot someone, he is dead.

Anyone else have thoughts about this guy?

I generally try not to get a Helm of Black Legion on him but rather try to just get pure hp instead. The black legion reduces the amount of damage you take, which is good, but makes your quills go off less often.

[StealthFire]

not for spell daage.

[Darkstrand]

You did well with those awful items?

Yep, he needs a nerf.

Sorry for not being able to spell this guy's name out correctly. ARMADILLON is the right name

Isn't it Armadon?

[Krangry]

[Evilite]

Before the buff he sucked.... bad.... there was an endless stream of whiners. For good reason.

I disagree.

[twincannon]

you've played 20 games with the guy, and you get his name wrong not once, but twice, even after editing your post? gg

He's a tank, what else is there to say.

I disagree.

DARKSTRAND WHAT HAPPENED TO EDL?

I think his good now. The buff was definitely needed.

He played the non-existent games that he made up in his head to attempt to troll.

Bravo, worst troll ever.

[SWARM_THEM]

is armadon's damage absorbing -> quill shooting passive still bugged? Stuck at work, cannot test right now. :(

MasSamurai here.

Mark and Firewater gave up on it, most of the staff was inactive and nobody was coming to play anymore :(

Paid our winners though, probably makes us the best league around now.

Armadon is fine. It's all the player and who he is playing against.

[Triangleman1]

uuuh, pretty sure that was a lucky streak. he is not OP in any way, imo. the changes were very small. But if they fixed his bug in this patch then the difference might seem a little bigger.

[Guile]

bristleback has always been (well.. he had some downtime) a very strong hero if left untouched.. especially when he is allowed to farm.. also you might want to rethink your items.. BATTLEFURY? ouch

[Himura1]

these type of hero's seem op because we dont have many anti tank hero's around yet..... wait till necro is ported then tanks will be scared XD

[FracaDePub]

get magic stick/wand into this game and he wont be imba like he is atm

you could say that for any hero, really.

[Guile]

well bristleback single handedly can win games with less time than some other heros. I remember playing vs just a mix and winning the game for 45~ minutes but unable to get past there turtle in mym 9 and a bristleback just shitting on us

[Bloodaxe]

I'm not trolling.

Just got out from another game where I stomped.

The Helm of the Black Legion is a amazing item, and the Runed Axe is for the mana Regen and the +damage

Anyways, this is not a "how to play" Discussion.

I really do feel (and my friends who I play with) that this guy's slow (Snot Storm) seems to be a bit to powerful. One shot from this, and you can chase a hero down and easily kill him.

Another thing i noticed, is how restless is works, from what the tool tip says, you get a charge for every spell you cast, last 10 seconds. But the charges slowly fade over that 10 seconds. They should make it so it either does not fade, or the tool tip will say that the charges will fade over time.

I think the reason why he is more powerful in HoN because of the lag of casting spells. No longer do you slow down when you cast spells like spine burst and Snot storm, It just makes him that much better at chaceing.

[Killroy]

To me it feels that snot does slow more then the 20% to be honest. It feels a bit like the 20% + 12% per cast as in 32% right away.

[HonStinks]

To me it feels that snot does slow more then the 20% to be honest. It feels a bit like the 20% + 12% per cast as in 32% right away.Well the movement speed is always viewable so this can be checked out. It does feel a lot more than 20%.

On the same note it seems that NHs smokebomb doesn't do ****, as in, it doesn't slow and people seem to cast from within the smoke no prob. Doesn't his smokebomb has a slow that is like 20 - 30%? So it should slow a similar amount.

[ishmellow]

not true

i think bfury wouldnt be so bad on armadon, dunno. he has good int gain (+2.8), so the % based mana regen would actually be good for him.

[Garonga]

Bfury would be decent but there are alot better items for him to get.

[iNeuron1]

He is as good as Bristleback in dota. Meaning (and ill talk dotaish) get him treads vanguard hood fast and youre pretty much unstoppable already. Also, you shouldnt talk about how he is too awesome, when you play in 'battlenet' kinda society, where people quit after 1 death and never improve.

[AsAe]

Armadon is fine. It's all the player and who he is playing against.



QFT.

[Darkstrand]

Jesus.. People are now starting to consider getting battlefury on him now..

Please kill this thread

[Hibi1]

Armadon is only good if you let him free farm the game away. Other wise he's not that good.
