Title, I'm beginning my second playthrough of this game and damn... its so good. Bloober has been doing great work recently, both Cronos and SH2 Remake have been great!!
I'm super excited for their SH1 Remake, but I hope we can still get a good DLC content for Cronos, such a great game man, I just want more of what it offers.
Title, basically throughout my second replay of DS1 Remastered (first one was back on release date and didn't have any cheating issues that I remember), I didn't encounter any Red Phantom that was blatantly cheating... until I got to Anor Londo... wtf is this? I've encountered like 4 different Red Phantoms, two of which were blatantly cheating and 2 were just sus, but could've been lag/desync issues.
One guy invaded me 4 times in a row, called Juggernaut, he doesn't take damage (literally 0) nor stagger from my Ricard's Rapier +10, hits with his bare fists for 4/5 of my health.
The second guy was completely naked, invaded me once. His bare fists could hit me anywhere, I was taking damage from invisible hits while he was attacking from meters away...
The other 2 were super sus, but I won't mention because could've been massive desync issues... still strange since I didn't have much of that throughout the rest of the game... but Anor Londo has been a true hell so far, wtf?!!
Anyone else feeling the same?
Ever since Dota 1, Silencer has been my favorite hero throughout all of his phases:
I love him mostly because he was always that sleeper support who could eventually scale into large amounts of damage and worked great for 6~7k pubs. But now?
Now the hero is barely playable and not fun at all to play. Everything he has can easily be dispelled (ok, that has always been the case), but at least before his Spells were strong enough to make up for that... now he is a fucking joke. Glaives deal magic damage which doesn't scale nearly as much, he continues to have no way to farm as always, but at least when his spells were actually impactful, you could get away with 3 items and still be playable.
Right now the hero is shit unless you're playing as an Ultimate Bot... but the worst of all? He is not fun anymore. He can't scale, his ult is super strong but quickly outdated by the thousands of dispels available (but was also beyond broken when it required 2 dispels), his stats aren't nearly as good (I miss getting 3.0 Agi per Lv), he continues to be super slow whereas mobility powercrept a lot during these years (even Zeus has a fucking jump!!).
So yeah, please IceFrog, decide what do you want the hero to be. Give the bouncing glaives for free OR make it silence with 4 hits again, give him at least 1 undispellable spell (maybe Last Word can be undispellable if it pops from expiring), increase his Intelligence steal or give him back his 3.0 agility. You can nerf his fucking ultimate, I don't give a shit, even rework it since its lazy-ass design, just make my hero more than a walking R, I beg you.
Idk man, just give me back my favorite hero :(
Rant off.
TLDR: Silencer is shit and not fun, give me back my favorite hero IceFrog, or at least rework him entirely to fit your concept for what he should be.
EDIT: Changed some wording to make it clear that my main point is the hero being super unfun as a Walking R at the moment.
