Elladan Nerfed & Elrond Release Drama! - LOTR Heroes of Middle Earth

[@ripslabcheek]

"If you'd like to not give us grace for being human, that's your choice..." Mistakes happen, but speaking from personal experience, large customer-facing errors earn criticism. I'm glad they caught it quickly and communicated openly about their process. But this is so needlessly passive aggressive.

[@McMole2TheRealMcMole2]

Yeah, the messaging is a bit off there, but Haem was getting harassed a bit on the discord server yesterday when things went down. She was trying to get things ironed out and there was a lot of needless tagging and I think it got to her a bit.

[@dawsonking7893]

The devs were being verbally attacked for the errors made. Not saying it was handled correctly but there is some missing context there.

[@ripslabcheek]

@@McMole2TheRealMcMole2 Definitely the double-edged nature of having to be that accessible for her role when she's trying to both communicate and help fix under a barrage of tags.

[@aidynoconnor582]

That's become pretty standard for EA, rather than take critical comments in stride, and attempt to improve, they act offended that people paying for their game/keeping them employed, would dare to take issue with a broken or bugged product

[@simonfrayberg3064]

Not sure about the human part, but this was definitely very unprofessional. 99% of other devs out there would be handing out 100-200 gem gifts to reimburse for the mess ups. And this is definitely not the first time they botched things. Sam still cant participate in his journey and lets not forget the tutorial that soft locked the game for 10th of thousands of people via forcing Frodo gearing after a player already put the gear on. I believe there was also the other Sam fiasco were his NPC skill kit and player skill kit did not match up and the official response was it was reported as a bug and was being looked into, and yet here we are again!

My theory is what they showed us for both elrond and elladan kits were the units at Ability level 7 which isn't out yet. They brought down the abilities to level 6 which aligns with what's in the game currently. The large jumps in damage and guarenteed buffs seem to be the next tier which won't release for a few months. Whoever made the website page just copied what the characters have on their end, which is much farther than what is released to us.

Oh, this is a good theory. Excited to see if you’re right

[@craigmontgomery9105]

Scopley gives you a world class experience and 3 chewy shards. You will like it or the bugs will continue!

[@wolfstfox]

to much nimble will definitely be a bad thing, players won't be happy if elf v elf teams are timing out in arena and Elrond isn't the only one with nimble in his kit

[@gamerstudio994]

Good video.thanks

[@aidynoconnor582]

With the release of Elrond coming, and his original kit having been toned down a bit, I would hope this means they also plan to nerf the data mined version of the Witch King before his event, otherwise there will be a significantly overpowered/poorly balanced tilt towards that team

[@dawsonking7893]

Still think Elladan is probably the strongest Rivendell elf next to Elrond.

[@jamesgangmember]

The nerf was to balance things out, it's obvious not everyone is going to be getting him the first time around so I think the nerf as everyone calls it, is a good thing for f2p players who come up against him

[@missionsb98]

Hmmm not as excited.....2 main marquee characters nerfed from the original post. Will still get them and test them out at 5*.

[@GodTorak]

Elf teams going to be useless in arena now. **chance** to gain nimble and no more team defence?

[@McMole2TheRealMcMole2]

Nah, I think Elves will still be very good. The trick will be making sure debuffs stay on the team
