Numbers are really what will tell in the end though. It should impact a lot on her "sustained tankiness", as the use of CDR and mantra management to get out as many heals and shields as possible in a short time frame made her godly at keeping someone alive if he couldn't get 100-0'd by the enemy team. The new mechanism for her mantra recharge probably won't allow that—which isn't necessarily a good/bad thing, it'll just be... different. And yeah, Riot envisions her as a support, the way Nami/Morgana/Orianna are supports: "my abilities are here to help/enhance my team", but this doesn't mean they don't want her to be able to solo lane (iirc they specifically said that they wanted her to be able to solo lane). I'm sad about the loss of her old passive, though. I thought it fitted very well with her "inner strength" and "determination" themes and heal/shield-based kit.  | ||

It's targeted though. Plus the mantra bonus. I think the number one spot for "most similar abilities when compared in a vacuum" has to be given to Annie's E/Rammus's W. | ||

Thought the exact same thing, except it's probably a targeted spell instead of a skillshot and has the DoT instead of two pops of damage. Edit: Mantra E could be really strong depending on the size of the AoE and shield, just makes me think of Locket. | ||

The loss of her passive and ability to heal others are the biggest changes I think. | ||

Try casting q twice before popping w when clearing camps, you'll get twice the q dmg for the heal. I still run 0/9/21 on Hecarim, I still have a KDA over 16 with him in ranked, and he's still one of the strongest if not the strongest jungler around. The only thing that's slowed is his first clear and not significantly enough to make anyone cry about it. If I'm not first pick (blue side) I make sure the horse is banned every game. | ||

We should probably take this to the Hec thread, but what are the benefits of 0-9-21 over 9-21-0? | ||

She seems like a really hard champ to do well with, but I guess I just never understood why her kit was inherently bad in a way unfixable by smaller changes.It's a shame that she still seems unexplored (to me at least), but it'll be nice to see more of her after the remake. | ||

But yeah, the loss of her old passive will possibly make her feel a lot less clutch, along with the loss of her AoE heal. Her "stack resistances and CDR, grab blue and pretend you're the delicate and refined version of Mundo" style may be obsolete, sadly. | ||

not a fan of the passive either, generally i dislike abilities that rely on maintaining low health since i don't feel like the benefits are that worth it unless it's final fantasy 8 and you can spam skip turn to get limit breaks. in a game like lol (or dota with huskar) it is extremely difficult to balance the effectiveness of a skill when you have to be at low health. | ||

I mean, it's fine, it's not going to get in the way of her being played as a support, but it's kinda lacking in creativity. This seriously the best they could have come up with? Should have just left her with her old passive and stick the new passive as part of the mantra skill itself, bleh. | ||

Same could be said with Syndra. I don't remember who, but somebody said regarding her that putting such things in the passive is a way to keep the skills themselves strong to compensate for it. I don't know to which extent it follows Riot's design practices, but I guess it makes sense ("Udyr has no ult and gap closer, so let's give him better base stats and strong spells"). | ||
