Looks pretty cool, just some constructive criticism. I think the walk/run whatever you want to call it animation could be a lot better. Make it more monster like, takes away the seriousness of the character. But good job omeda, thank you.

[@AidenWildie]

I think the community forget this isn’t a AAA Studio. They’re doing the best they can with the resources they have, could it be better? Yes. Give them time. I for one am enjoying the game. There’s lots to change and a long way to go, just enjoy the ride and stop complaining about everything, if the game fails you’ll be the reason it does

You do realize in order to help these people make their game better. We do in fact, have to complain. Otherwise, if you do not complain when there’s something wrong with the game, how can I fix it? Your heart is in the right place, but your logic is a little contradicting.

[@TheKakuchu]

I also don’t feel sympathy for the same studio that gaslit an entire community of PS4 gamers into possibly wasting, who knows how much money and Microtransactions on a game that will now cease to exist on their platform. Sounds familiar?…Why even bother releasing it on a console that they know they were going to stop supporting one day I feel like that was a greedy tactic

i hope his basic atacks have good sound cuz the animation is kinda weightless

[@metalxmetalxmetalxmetalx]

For a game like this at this stage we need more prominent character design. Waiting 6 weeks for things like this isn’t going to be good for this game. At least with the OG we knew when a new character came it was completely fresh. Heck back then they didn’t have passives and characters are unique. I wish I could become a director for character design cause I had some great designs and ideas

[@metalxmetalxmetalxmetalx]

Game at this stage needs more prominent characters . Needs it own version of yasou from league . Its own Caitlin own jhin. Ezreal . We need to be pulling players from other mobas if this game wants to survive .

[@jesser4221]

2:29 It would be cool if the ultimate also had a visual effect in vegetation. Like he gets power from all life sources with the ultimate, but the plants looks exactly the same. It's visual thing and it doesn't matter too much but an effect where the plants begin to die around him would be cool.

[@xReedzZx]

i would also appreciate the entire map for everyone to get a little more sinister looking shifting to darker colors

[@macklinwright3966]

Honestly i can see that becoming a thing however the issue with that is that they would have to put in a lot of time making that concept a reality and thats assuming that their won't be bugs to high heaven. last thing they need is to create a bug that completely visually breaks the game for everyone or worse accidentally create a ult that forces the match to crash.

[@NobleVagabond2552]

I love the ability kit. I want to preface this by saying I love that every one of Omeda’s originals have added something new to the game’s “move pool”. But my only vicarious regret is that while Mourn is a monster and I love that, he is still a bipedal humanoid. I know the two legs are easier to animate. But just imagine if instead of two root legs he had a whole mass of roots that carry him around

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

That all said, his mesmerize effect and ult from the opponents' view look really cool!

[@dozegame]

Mourn looks badass. Could've made the basic attacks look a little more like a "hit" but damn that kit is loaded

[@JustBeliBel]

Riktor from the woods... exactly what we needed...

[@frieza2013]

you fool isn’t nothing like Riktor he’s Sylvanus from Smite which we don’t have a play style like in this game.

[@Zyconetic]

@@frieza2013 its riktors pull with a cast timer, morigesh's swarm that heals teammates and and a lighter aoe style phase blind as an ult. Design is cool but its not kits we havnt seen before, is what they are trying to say.

[@frieza2013]

@@Zyconetic I’m sorry to say, but the only thing that’s similar to Morgash is the bugs Everything else about the two is different or is copied from another game it’s still copy just not from a character. That’s already in the game Sylvanus releases wisps that seek out nearby allies and enemies. Allied gods are Protected and all allies are Healed while enemies take damage over time. The initial wisp heals allied gods and damages enemy gods for twice the normal amount. This ability does not create seed pods when hitting minions. Damage: 14/20/26/32/38 (+10% of your Magical Power) every 1s for 5s Heal: 10/14/18/22/26 every 1s for 5s Protections Gained: 10/15/20/25/30 for 5s Minion effectiveness: 35% Healing and damage Effect: Mourn vomits magical bugs that attach to nearby Allied and Enemy Heroes. Mourn and Allied Heroes hit restore 8/13/18/23/28 (+12% Magical Power) Health every second for 3s, gaining 5 (+10% Physical Armor) Physical Armor and 5 (+10% Magical Armor) Magical Armor for the same duration. Enemies take 20/30/40/50/60 (+15% Magical Power) magical damage every second for 3s and have their Base Physical Armor and Base Magical Armor reduced by 5 and their Bonus Physical Armor and Bonus Magical Armor reduced by 20%. Same thing as the Smite character Mourn Channel for up to 3s, Slowing yourself by 25% and wind up your vines, increasing their range over 1s. After 3s the ability will be cancelled and go on a 50% cooldown. Confirm to unleash a torrent of vines that collide with the first Enemy Unit hit dealing 100/150/200/250/300 (+75% Magical Power) magical damage. Enemies hit by this ability are partially Pulled towards Mourn and Slowed by 90% for 1s. Sylvanas Sylvanus's treant launches his rooty hand out in front of him. The hand stops at the first enemy god hit, Stunning them with no diminishing returns and pulling them back towards Sylvanus. I can come and see what you’re talking about about the pull but the one is still too drastically different from Morgash.

[@Zyconetic]

@frieza2013 dude I am not talking stats lol you said "mechanics". We aren't seeing any new "mechanics" here. A swarm that deals magical damage. Throwing something to pull someone in. An ability that makes it hard to see but has no really cool effect to make up for the blank screen. And some more CC. Cause we really don't have enough of that lol

I expected him to have 4 legs and 3 arms 1 on the right and 2 on the left with one being the tentacle

“Bipedal humanoid”. Because they’re the easiest to animate. Only ones who are not in the whole game are Sevarog and Iggy (kind of, he’s still bipedal technically, but not human shaped)

[@WhereWhatWhenWhy]

Was the initial reveal that weird lovecraftian looking spider creature? I wish they stuck to the design if that was the case it was more unique

[@Vtr-e7v]

Hi Omeda, Played the update yesterday night. It really feels good, multiple steps in the right direction!!! Congratulations to the team! I kind of have one recommendation: Please, bring more skins that change the hero quite a lot such as Grux and Murdock in this last one. I was disappointed that Kwang received a recolour in the DINASTY update. Kwang is the most recommended amongst those to have a legendary skin and he got the most common one. Where’s Shinbi and Feng Mao? Those are the ones most important to have a legendary skin in the DINASTY update. Of course, I understand Murdock, Grux, Khaimera, Gideon are quite popular more than Kwang and Shinbi, but they deserved some love, especially Kwang. I want to spend money on skins, but I’m not inclined towards a recoloured. This is not a criticism, only my honest opinion. Omeda has been doing a great job towards quality of life, game changes, items changes, and that’s awesome to be honest. Having an *extra* team focused on skins (more than just recolours) would be great. I don’t necessarily mean legendaries only, but some tweaks in the visual are welcome.

Looking forward to playing him. While a few of the animations are a bit weak-looking, the animation on Beguile looks really cool: good job, guys.

[@messedupperfect9367]

The design is great... Visually. Basically everything else is a miss. The kit is horribly boring, you don't have to be a AAA studio to make a creative kit like all these people in the comments defending this are saying. (by the way, you aren't defending anything, nobody is attacking the studio, this is constructive criticism and it helps the game, what you are doing is what really hurts it.) Did we really need another Riktor hook? Was a mez the best we could do to make this character useful? Did either of these things actually make a unique character that makes new players want to flood to the game? Not really. I don't think the animations are all that great either (especially the auto attacks,) but gameplay is much more important and that is why you SHOULD tell them when they are doing a bad job. If you want this game to succeed, stop blatantly defending every decision they make. No studio is perfect.

The design on this heroe is ok but the movement and ability animations could do with some more work!!

[@NinTheLost]

Can’t lie, pretty disappointing. He shares too much resemblance with Riktor. A hook is all y’all could have thought of? The animations & poses are pretty similar too, this could’ve easily passed as a legendary Riktor skin or something. The kit seems a bit bland.. but I will admit, visually it is the most interesting Omeda original thus far. Patch looks exciting. But as the others have said, the animations seem to lack weight and this character has some missed potential to be a bit cooler and more intricate in the kit design. Could’ve done things with vines and whatnot.. idk. He falls a bit short aesthetically, not as much as Skylar did (another generic white character) but still. Looking forward to playing 1.3 though, thanks for the continued work on Predecessor. Hope Omeda makes great strides in 2025 and a tough push to really get this game out there. The spirit of Paragon lives on.. but only if Omeda locks in and gets serious. We need greater changes. A new map. Devs can’t get complacent. Should strive for the best. Regardless, much love ❤
