Obviously I think Norog is long overdue for a buff.  That's why he is much earlier in the thread, along with Ignatius, whose non-100% debuffs and long cooldowns are a crime against all Ogryns.

   

Uggo having a better kit is an afront to BigPig.  But yes he absolutely needs a buff.

For the job of block buffs, Umbral also has a better kit.  Just turn off the A3 and let her rock out.  Two Epics outperfrom the poor OG Skinwalker.

Make that three epics. I pulled Ostrox today during the Odin boost, and he can keep Block Buffs up better than Norog too.  

Big Pig needs help.

Uugo is just so much better than Big Pig

But yeah, Ostrox and Umbral also in the conversation. Who knows, at this rate there will be a rare that pops up that's better. Haha

Big Pig finally gets some love.  Not a Whole Lotta Love....more like runt-of-the-litter leftover love, but hey, he could at least be usable for Hdyra & Chimera now, depending on your other options.

Here's what I'll say, given how slow and spread out reworks are, we should have more options to unbind champions even if we don't have duplicates... like a lot of leggos you pull and it's like the donkey prize in Lets Make a Deal.

More options at the token trader OR maybe something like with Souls, where you can sell leggos for currency to get another shard or something? I mean there's leggos that I would trade for like 10 ancients or a few voids even...

though I'm doubtful of any changes similar to this happening (and if they do, happening before 2050) I shall pass this along

also it's tragic that big pig didn't get a bigger buff.

There's just no money to be made by having existing champs get buffed. If anything, it actually would discourage spending, since people would be more likely to sit on existing champs hoping they eventually become better / usable.

And yeah - Norog is still largely useless. Oh well.

Feels bad that's he's still basically less useful Uggo.

Whoever is in charge of the recent lego buffs is really missing the mark:

Wurlim got his 2nd (maybe 3rd) buff and he is still vault material.  

Norog was possibly the worst lego in the game, and after his buff he is roughly equivalent with an Epic for Block Buffs. His buff certainly wasn't enough to justify anyone switching away from Uugo...I may throw some gear on him and give him a whirl, but only because I already have him booked. I didn't have a lot of Block Buffs options when Hydra first came out, so it was Norog and two Umbrals for me back in the day.  

If they woudl've given Wurlim full team Pefrect Veil or 100% AoE Freeze, that would've been enough to make him viable.   

Norog needed at least one more thing to make him truly viable because his signature move is no better than that of an epic....Hex or Dec Speed on the A2 would've gotten it done.    

They used to get it right sometimes. Eva went from Campaign Farmer to legit WuKong counter.  Teela went from vault guard to A-Tier Hydra Hex/Burner/Support.  However, I am not sure the last time they buffed a Lego that actually became useful, except when they totally broke Trunda.

Gurgoh comes to mind as a fairly recent good one.  Though he never displaced the meta really.  Agreed they are on a bad run again.
