They're screaming he should get nerfed.  I wouldn't pay them any mind though.

I hope your right man )

My bet is there will be a guaranteed champ in a month or two who will counter/nullify Capn Jack.

Horsey kinda already is, but he's not exactly accessable to most players.

Unicornhorse is very accessible for almost everyone

...he just takes time to get. :)

I fully expect the A2 to be changed from "steals" to just "reduces".

We're not planning to nerf Armanz, don't worry. 

Thanks for the clarification Ronnie.

So, you are intentioanlly releasing another toon to further break the arena?

Well, now you will be able to have two copies of the most broken fusion yet.   

two copies he will not even build lol

Why would they nerf him... Ok his a2 is maybe a little strong in wave content. Sure. But what abour Karma Burn? They never nerfed that and it's on an epic.

As for arena, Armanz is NOT gonna break it. Not even close. If some dude picks both Armanz and the Monkey, there is zero chance i ban Armanz instead of Monkey. Everyone is so scared "I'll never get a turn". Dudes, that's what Stoneskin is for. In which case, Armanz will revert to his a3, and only take one of your champions out, not all 4.

Why would they nerf the A2? Let me make it simple: List the champs in the game which have an AoE full TM reduce.

I'll do you a favour and do that for you:

• Karilon the Ringer - full TM reduce IF they are frozen by the A3. 3 turn CD.
• Rhazin - 100% TM reduce (NOT the same as a full TM reduce) - 6 turn CD.
• Tomb Lord - 100% TM reduce (NOT the same as a full TM reduce) IF they are under 50% HP. 4 turn CD.
• Warlord - 30% chance for a full TM reduce. 4 turn CD.

And that's it. Four champs in the game who have a similar ability, all of which are either conditional or worse. Literally the only comparable champ is Karilon, and his is conditional on a freeze.

Armanz? 3-turn CD, essentially non-conditional. And not only does he fully reset the TM of everyone on the other team, he also STEALS it. Which means that 3-turn CD is, for all intents and purposes, 2 turns.

I'm not even joking when I say that means he can literally solo EVERY non-boss wave/dungeon. All those annoying Sintranos stages? If he's available, they are instantly completed.

As for live arena? You'd be a fool not to ban him. Stoneskin? Let's, for the sake of argument, assume the TM steal doesn't apply here - though I'd be willing to bet it will work. Armanz will still shut down anyone on your team who isn't in Stoneskin, so now all they need to do is pick ANYONE else who can deal with that, whether it be by removing the buff, or just placing bombs instead.

He is utterly bonkers, but it's not an accident and I dont think it will be nerfed

What I expect to happen is a month or two from now they will introduce a champ with a passive that nullifies his ability

They will make it a p2win event to get the champ most likely

The Kraken's will max out their credit cards, and throw money at plarium to get the champ. Mission accomplished 

Ill try to do the fusion and probably will succeed as i had a fair amount of shards piled up, but man they need to stop raising the bar, they are not rebalancing older champs fast enough to catch up with power creep xD

This is the most Trips thing that ever did Trips.

Just for reference you can't TM effect anyone under Stoneskin.

4 piece now an essential part of arena, period.

As far as Armanz making Sintranos easier for people, isn't that a good thing? I'm all for champs that help everyone complete the PvE part of the game if they're struggling.

Not wrong.  I've been moving that way for a while but Hydra Clash drops are not cooperating.
