I find it pretty ridiculous that Oggok together with Zeffi control vortex by making your entire team immortal, allowing you to fight for 20 minutes every time. Completely trivializes the encounter and forces players to have them in the team.
Those 2 heroes together throw competition out of the window, strategy? Not required, just throw 2 heroes who alone make the entire team immortal with a 100% uptime.

The suggestion? Something has to change with how vortex handles this. I don't have a decisive answer to this fix, but at the moment what those 2 heroes are doing to vortex can be considered a game breaking issue.
Why? This is a game based around seasonal ranking races and it is a strategy rpg. Those 2 heroes are breaking any form of strategy and are required in order to compete.
If you have them? Easy, only other people with them can compete with you.
If you don't have them, then it is impossible to compete against people that do.
Both ways breaks the competition.
Perhaps make it so that Poseidon ignores immortality. There is only one thing the immortality buff is used for and that is to cheat death and continue living. This mechanic breaks a game when you can have it active 100% of the time which is why rpg games never do this.

I guess it would also be an option to restrict vortex to 10 minutes while keeping the current difficulty.
That way it becomes "who can deal the most in 10 minutes?" Instead of "Who has Oggok and Zeffi?"

It's not just vortex. On my server grave of venom opened a few hours ago, and there's already someone easy farming stage 8 abusing immortality while only very few others reached stage 6 yet
And yes I'm aware that whales with fully inspired team can sht on the PvE game but I really think having an option to have a permanent uptime of immortality defeats any balancing
That guy btw also reach first place on vortex with way over 10m on the first day using oggok and zeffi

I don't think it's that big of an issue tbh, you can only run to 150 stacks anyways. Many normal teams with good comps can live for similar amounts of time. The top player (aka biggest kraken) in the world only used Oggok so he could fit 4 DPS in his team.

As for abusing the pair to hit high level Venom way before you should be able to, I still don't really see it as an issue. He's just able to hit it a few days before others can.

That guy also clearly whaled an exorbitant amount of money tbh, even without Oggok Zeffi he would be 1st regardless, just looking at his champs. 2 i5 exclusives and likely even more. No way anyone is gonna be able to compete with that with any form of reasonable budget regardless.

You are bothered that whales are able to farm some content earlier than you than don't play a p2w game mate, you are not competing against the big spenders you will never beat them but the big spenders are super minority on your server i bet there are not even 20 big spenders on your server.

#

it's not like 100's of people will farm venom 9 , heck i bet you it's gonna be maybe 3 people that will farm venom 9 early i promise you that, if you are bothered by it for whatever reason i think you should just play non p2w games
