The devs. explained how they wanted to lower Weapon power Adagio because as you all might have encountered, is pretty dangerous and annoying, however as a sole crystal power Adagio user they also explained they wanted to buff him. I was excited at first for Adagio is my main, and I loved him because of how useful his abilities are to his allies and himself, but I quickly realized that they in fact "de-buffed" him. His heal is significantly almost useless now unless I have my complete build, which now in the Hotness ranks doesn't happen because matches usually favor one side pretty early. They said they did not want Adagio to be as a carry, but that is what made him my favorite, I have been in situations where my two partners were sub-par (not to say I was doing so hot either) however I can quickly change the game around by supporting and carrying, which bought my team time to get their items par to the enemy's. I feel like this update while not completely breaking him, it severs his early game strength as crystal power Adagio takes time to become a threat. I certainly tried not to complain and tried to accept it but I cannot, I am wondering if anyone else feels the same way, open for speculation maybe can get the devs to change it back or buff it more at least. I forgot to mention that the issue is more apparent when I am in the jungle and cannot sustain my health constantly having to recall.

Hey man, are you trying to blind us?

Seriously, I don't even see words - it hurts my eyes to even glance at that massive wall of text.

Is his heal now useless? The impression I got from the update notes suggested that his heal is quicker and stronger now.

Basically, they made Adagio highly benefit from building crystal. Although reduced duration of heal (Without Crystal Power) his scaling of the heal is increased, meaning that IF you build crystal, he actually has more burst heal than before. Thinking it through, they basically weakened adagio building no crystal and buffed adagio building crystal by 2, bringing it back to gift of fire's original strength.

EDIT: deleted a long post about this because my math was completely wrong.

I haven't seen many successful adagio's lately; they all seem squishy & not much of a threat. As far as I know, the crystal was buffed... However, I'm afraid it wasn't a good enough buff to keep him relevant.
