Why did they nerf Aldous?.

PhilYan

From 300 to 330 base damage in his skill 1 sounds good right?.
In return they reduced the damage gain from stacks by 1. So from 8 to now 7 right?.

But no its i nerf its not a buff.
In lower stacks its ok. But in max stack 500.
He just loss 470 dmg in his final stack.
It's so unfair.

to me it seems like a buff, he needed some extra early game. and his late is kinda broken so its pretty fair to me

The nerf is in advanced server not original server

500 * 7 = 3500

His max damage from stacks is 3500. Previously it was 4000.

This is not a big difference in game. If you have 200 stacks, then his previous damage is 1600 and new damage is 1400. This is not much nerf because 1400 is also high damage.

But if you add critical chance, then it is a big difference. His previous damage with 2x critical chance is 8000 but now 7000.

Items like Endless battle and blade of seven seas will also deal lower damage because of the nerf

In short physical build Aldous is nerfed while not much nerf for tank build Aldous. Since most players use physical build, this is a big nerf

I m not a Aldous user so cant say properly but i think that wont bother u at all just .. Before u have 200 stack now u have to make 210 stack something..not a very big difference..on other hand early good farming that will help u gain xp faster...idk maybe a nerf ?

In the patch notes they don't say it's nerf to him but an adjustment coz there are increases and decreases as well, although it does look like a nerf

I personally think its fair. This season we've seen alot of hyper Aldous and it really works well. Aldous wil always be much stronger than other heroes in Late game and even with this nerf, I dont think it will change by a huge margin.

Aldous is one of the best late game ever, he still can do a lot of damage in late game, of course in early game is really hard because he need stacks before see a huge difference.
Don't you worry Aldous is a good hero for those who love him and always played this fighter

He is not meant to be physical build but more tanky.

I know. But many players are using endless battle, blade of seven seas, raptor machete and malefic roar.

They are taking around 2 or 3 defense items. Most of the time only 2 defense Items. It makes him a little tanky with more damage. Now his damage output from endless battle and blade of seven seas will be less than before
