Its an insult to the community that Rook has been nerfed into oblivion when people spent money on him for multiple seasons.
Even at I5 he deals half the damage Beldele does so what is the point of getting him?
He takes way too long to become active....

Multiple seasons?

Beldelle need to be fixing too?

And he was THE one and only DD for almost everything

No rook = no score

I actually skipped Beldelle in season Two to go all in on a Rook team. That obviously was a BIG mastake. My Rook with artifact can't do more damage than my twitch team on multi target fights.

When I say underperforming is an understatement

almost every CC said go for Rook but they didn't know he would be so nerfed,noone know he will need 5-6 min to start doing dmg so for me as f2p this is huge mistake that will cost me alot in this seasone
gear drop is rly bad in this game and alot of main flat stats (this also need to be changed )
all in all, by the end of the season everyone will be doing good damage with Rook but not maximum because not everyone will have perfect gear
so either you will stop playing the game that deceives you or you will keep quiet and suffer,I'm talking about myself because I'm thinking about what to do.

All they literally had to do was put a disclaimer in the s3 preview notes saying rook has been rebalanced, and then people would have known to be cautious and wait for content creators to test him.

As far as players who had already heavily invested in rook previously on reborn servers, they should create an item that is a universal inspiration that can be used on any exclusive dps and give people the option to refund their rook inspirations for universal inspirations to put on another dps.

The fact that the communication on this was zero means so many people have wasted their entire helio budgets and real life $$ going for a champion that no longer fulfills its purpose. This is a big deal to me, and I really hope the company would do the right thing and offer compensation in a major way to those who pulled for rook both currently and previously.

Create a universal inspiration that you can trade your exclusive dps and exclusive dps inspirations / artifacts that can then be transferred to a more deserving character.

#

Even if the only exclusive dps / artifact that can be refunded is rook specifically, something needs to be done, because you've left an incredibly sour taste in my mouth as I passed up multiple other powerful characters in order to summon multiple rooks.

Devs really need to buff him and compensate the players that summoned for him

False sales come to mind for sure, CN server showing huge damage, the OG he was showing huge damage, and yet when we go to spend out dice, and some went huge btw, we get something that is no better than some very mediocre DPS that sit permanently benched……..

Cn always showed him needing i5 though and numbers are not that bad....

It's not that bad until you compare it to the other dmg classes and the amount of investment needed. This makes him unplayable for the average player.

Not knowing how to build corrosion is not the same as Corrosion being nerfed.

this is also 30% poison week too though, either way his kit was changed from previous version by all accounts it was a nerf. They should have been forward with that information in pre-season patch notes so we would be cautious of the changes.

They WERE a nerf for sure, his stacks were reduced from “unlimited” down this……

Issue is the time needed to "activate" rook to enable him to do crazy amounts is both an issue with his kit and corrosion in general. Currently you need I5 on all corrosion characters to do "good" damage. But you´ll still be below the same I5 Beldele team.
And all of that is because of the buildup time and changes to his kit. You dont get to have fights that last 10mins. We get like 5 Mins at most in most if not all content. And where he should shine e.g in Vortex he doesnt. + the insane neediness of a stat requirement he and the other corrosion characters have is just the cherry

ROOK is designed to be the best in only one part of the game Vortex,but it seems it's not the best there either

# pine breach I dont believe so, no.

It is, as now he has the limit of consuming corrosion for 10 ults, then he doesn't consume it. So, after 10 turns (18sec x 10) = 3 minutes, he starts doing big dmg. This wasnt the case before, and they added this mechanism to restrain his dmg for long fights. Making him useless in shorter fights, and as you see the vortex battle time was reduced from 10 to 7.30 min. So, all in all, it is a nerf, period.
P.S. I don't express my opinion if I like it or not.

I think you all overreacting (disclosure I didn’t spent my saving on him yet). But the hero does need some tuning from devs to get him competitive with Beldelle. For example Everlasting Rot 10 to 15% increase per ult might be enough

Sure but why stop at Rook, Make Flora Great Again.

there should be a final wave with a huge hp boss in it that is nearly impossible to kill and your points are determined by how much damage you can do to it before it makes it to the end, or something similar

#

also monsters should be able to damage you there needs to be some strategic diversity

you didnt need i5 beldelle to beat flora in s2 , you shoudlnt need i5 rook to compete with beldelle in s3

old corrosion was just that broken

i suppose they need to lower his max damage but increase the damage they do early in the match... so maybe increase the corosion intensity but lower the max attacks rook can make?

I believe that the nerfed is correct. Rook is still top notch, but in i5. As a f2p player, can you get him ? The answer is yes. In 1 and a half season. If you are a spender, sooner. And to all fellow players that disagree and protest... Do you think that is ok to have a single copy of Rook and obliterate fully inspired teams ?

Don't act smart, no one here said that Rook need to be like before just a little buff to be able to compare with others on i0....what point to have Rook and corrosion setup when you need perfect gear on all 3 champ so you can do good dmg + you can use him just on vortex he is not like other to nuke dungeons and other bosses he is made for vortex only,and that means it has to be among the best in vortex
