Did I miss something? What buffs? Or is this reddit...

There were some reworks.  Ram got a bit easier, Lion a bit tougher.  Haven't noticed much difference myself.

Ram's duel bar is less, and doesn;t reflect as much damage as it did before if it's under fear

Lion had a skill go from conditional aoe to always aoe, and it ignore's 100% of def.

Ram form also had it's acc boosted, and that's been causing a lot of problem for people in my cluster who weren't already running with block debuffs and/or high res champs

Was that an actual choice or lack of options?

Mostly it's the less advanced players who are having a lot of trouble with stuns from ram.

I didn't even notice Ram's acc got buffed myself until people started asking for help improving their teams.

The lesser reflect dmg is nice, but unfortunately the part my team still can't handle on auto is ... Viper I think? The one that steals buffs. Easy enough on manual, but on auto it's insta death. 

My normal team includes Lamasu, but I sometimes experiment with other comps.  With the Lion Form Damage Buff, Dec Atk is almost required on UNM, so no more experimenting w/o Lamasu.

Viper yeah.  Can definitely be a pain if you dont bring a stripper.  Especially on auto. 

Suicide on auto if you also have a counter attack champ like gnut, unless you lock it out on base form

I've just ran the same team on full auto pretty much since week 2, haven't noticed anything since the update except my damage has increased slightly. I did swap one champion a few weeks back.

I lock out the A2 in base form indeed.  Doesnt really provide all that much utility. 

I have mikage, and I guess maybe I could set the ai up to switch her to alternate and remove buffs ... might give that a 

Are u all running chimera on auto? 

I do it on manual, but most of my clustermates just auto. Several semi-auto, keeping an eye on it and taking over manually for when it switches to viper.

Also on team semi auto for now. I am looking to change the team to an Androc one soon, but that's gonna end up being trickier I suspect.

i

100% full auto. Used to have Oelia instead of mythical guy. Get good enough scores but pretty bad trials. One of these days I'll work something out to get more trials done but never gonna sit around manualing.

Im running arabis on main now, pain in the effing ass using both forms. At least with aphidus it's only 1.

Yes way too much time in Game as it is. 

In the immortal words of Trips...git gud 

That's cuz his 2nd form is a total dud
