PVP Updates: We're going live! PART 3

[VROOMIGoRealFast]

Hello again Arlorians!

Again we'd like to thank players for their feedback and discussions on the previous PvP posts. After much deliberation, Design team has decided on the first change that will be going live:

1) The "Spinning Freedom" upgrade of Razor Shield will now also apply on un-charged Razor Shield. The description will also be updated to reflect that Spinning Freedom grants immunity to stuns and freezes.
2) The Charged version of Razor Shield will now last an additional 3 seconds, which will stack with the "Increased Duration" upgrade.


Why this change?
We are carefully making this change as a first, small adjustment. This change is meant to help increase the survivability of Rogues while having minimum impact on the overall game. We're intentionally moving forward with small improvements and then monitoring their effectiveness before taking more action.

Please note that Spinning Freedom already grants immunity to stuns and freezes, it just wasn't listed on the ability upgrade description so we're adding it for clarity.

This change will be coming to an Arcane Legends near you this week!

ok, but rogue use it? I know nekro is standard, no one will want to miss an attack skill to use this skill. So the complaints of 10% damage reduction this skill in exchange for armor loss.

Sorry not trying to be rude but is this suppose to be a change? Most pvpers know that this upgrade ignores stun i believe

For those who already know the effect, the change is that it will apply to uncharged Razor Shield, not just Charged like it does currently.

This is more useful in pve, as I said before rogues use nekro.

shadow piercer, noxus bolt, aimed shot and combat medic. These are the default skill to rogue should change these. Maybe changes in masteries to do better for pvp.


Good old days of rogue

Ty vroom this will help but we usually have time to charge razors, not trying to sound rude but will there be another changes?

This is it for now, but after this is released we'll continue to monitor and get feedback and then make any additional adjustments as needed.

Vroom. Hope next update. We can have upgrade on pierce or the masteries of aim and pierce? Thanks

Tbh rogues will never appreciate if they are not given 300% . They are already one shooting Mage now they want to one shot warrior too. Or they want mages shield which is absurd. They are not realizing how unbalanced game will be for others.

Anyways back to the topic. This update will surely save their 2-3 seconds which will ensure not getting stunned by lava pool or mage's fire skill. Also note that Mage has to charge their fire to stun so certainly it will give edge to rogues on clash and also doin vs with warrior.

I am pretty sure it will certainly give some survivability to rogues.

[Safiras]

So what's the difference now between charged and uncharged razor shield? What do we gain from charging the skill?

[Breakingbadxx]

Trying very hard to understand how this increases rogue survivability in any way.

Right word here is: nothing

This update it's not what we were looking for, doesn't add any survivality in PvP, any skilled rogue knows that always should first charge razor and then aimed, is senseless to use this skill uncharge in the middle of the battle in PvP or PvE, no one single rogue will feels the diference.

Thank you for this. Can you tell us if this will also work in pve? I use razor in elites in between nekro shields and it's very helpful for survival. I think it will help those pvp rogues who are having a hard time.

I don't think it will actually make a difference because rogues don't have a problem with charging the skill, they will still die even with charged or uncharged razor, it just doesn't increase any survivability since it's the same skill as before without any buff.

thats not even tickles if you ask me

so we will give up on nox to use this because its supposedly "buffed"?

why aren't you try your very first suggestions vroom im sure you had your reasons to come up with them

i see mage sabotages worked

Us giving our opinions isn't sabotage and honestly how is nerfing mages and tanks gonna help achieve balance?
