No, you're not the only one who thinks that. I used to be an avid petal player, probably one of my favorite heroes pre-1.9 update. Then, 1.9 update happened and I think it completely ruined her. Her first two abilities are horrible. I hate that you can't stack the number of seeds and I don't like that her munions spawn on their own. Back to the stacking, it doesn't make sense that we can't heal the munions or have a little mini-base of healing seedlings. Then don't get me started on her second ability... Why. Just why. It doesn't make sense that her second ability is solely an escape plan. Be never seen an effective petal since the update. Honestly I feel that this new petal is just a liability to your team.

Maybe petal just needs heavy duty practice, but as for me, I'm keeping her on the shelf until the next update.

Petal is effective against non-AOE laners only. I find the biggest mistake people are making with her is mistakenly thinking she is a lane character - read the description. she is jungle. with no speed or range she can barely last hit at all, which means every second you are there the enemy laner is gaining on you and passing you in levels. if you can find a catherine who will roam her through the jungle and build up crystal and attack speed, youve got a chance.

so if it's saw or celeste or even joule on the enemy lane, petal is no good on the lane. saw is especially bad because he gets stronger with each munion kill so no amount of jumping is going to save you. if they show up on the lane, run to the enemy jungle and kamikaze that thing until your teammates are sufficient level to come help you. yes you are delaying the inevitable loss, but at least youve got 1/3 chance of surviving to the kracken this way, and you picked the most wrecked hero in the game, so you just gotta be creative.

Petal is useless and utterly broken.
They NERFED her CP and skills and ult while giving her the new kit.

She has been broken for a long time now, and maybe I'm salty since I mained her back when she was considered "OP" and she's been the joke of a hero ever since they nerfed everything she could use, and her munions are so easily taken out with any AOE damage she is handicapped by that when the munions are supposed to be the focal point of her as a hero. Instead she's useless to her team.

They nerfed her RANGE for crying out loud she was SUPPOSED to have the longest range out of all the heroes, and now she doesn't.

They better fix her next update. I'd rather have her old kit if I'm honest. They need to give minion candy back, and make shiversteel effective on ranged heroes since she still doesn't have a legit gap closer. Her B is useless and her current A you can't even use the seeds to heal since you walk two inches away they vanish from existence.


She has been useless for a long time, and even then I could at least work with her, but they destroyed everything that was her. She's basically a new hero now. Just weaker than before.
