Support support support I feel like all of these changes together could potentially make him OP, since a crystal or WP saw still has a pretty good damage output. However, a mix of these ideas & adjustments to them (which the devs could easily figure out) could definitely bring him back up to par in the right way. I would like to point out that saw (like krul) is a noob wrecker, so any buffs to his playstyle could have him dominating those poor lower tiers... But even then, these...

Glad to see you're full of ideas, but... Some of this stuff is REALLY overpowered lol

This^ I was recently matched in casual against a crystal saw... In not bad bronze... While I'm in SA silver. I was a tad bit confused. In casual, I've been seeing everything from guest instalock saws to sick pinnacle gold players that wipe me clean... Also, what you say about the relation between timing & matching is something I've noticed. On the longer waits, or the times when there's clearly not as many players on, I notice A LOT of matches with players that aren't anywhere...

I don't feel like she's overpowered simply because of how rarely I see her used amongst SA & pinnacle players. I almost never see her used in ranked & only occasionally in casual. Players up here tend to bandwagon any overpowered hero, & the Rona bandwagon hasn't happened yet, so yeah lol. Her ultimate is pretty good, but it makes her a really easy target & it's easy to avoid if she doesn't have shiversteel. Even if she does get one, it takes away from the gold she could be...

So 145k glory got you 3 skins? Ouch... Thanks for the info, & congrats on the hard earned skins. I was wanting to do the math on how much glory it would cost to get a skin, so that sure does give me a rough idea of how much it would be. About 48k glory for a skin... Goodness

But really though, has anybody gotten one just through matches & purchasing the boxes with glory? I love the look on some of them, they just seem impossible to get ahold of. I guess SEMC just wants us to use ice... Which brings me to another question- do tier 2 & 3 skins cost more ice than tier one skins? Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems a little strange that the skins cost way more ice than the heroes. Doesn't seem like a good business concept to overprice the skins. Thoughts one...

True; I suppose the lack of bursty damage could result in a few easy takedowns. & yeah, I'm a huge Rona fan, but she's an easy target. The second idea would be problematic, because krul & ardan would take quite a while to dish out real damage while Celeste is picked off. Also, the team would be heavily lopsided crystal. After some thought, I'll have to settle on ringo, koshka, & ardan. There's a good damage output, 2 good heroes to protect the laner in a team fight, great...

Everybody loves ringo... But forreal, he's always been the most stable, reliable laner. One of the best damage outputs when used correctly.

The Rona, Celeste, ardan combo would struggle because Rona & Celeste are both easy to pick off. There's not a lot of speed, & aside from Celeste, there's not enough bursty damage. It would do great, but I wouldn't say best. The second combo would also be pretty nice, but I wouldn't say best. Celeste is good, but she's easy to pick off. I'd prefer a glaive, ardan, & adagio combo. All of their ult's in the same area, adagio's heal & attack boost, adagio's and ardan's slows,...

Thank the Lord. I was worried I'd have to keep seeing your rants...
