Leek's Suggestions

[leek]

Alright these are just some general suggestions I have after playing Siege for a while.

-The game needs some money sinks, you can easily get ridiculous amounts of money and have nothing to really spend it on aside from spamming recruits.

-Hero skulls give 400/25 for a total of 900/26 for a single Hero kill near end game. I personally find this a bit excessive. The quest says hero skulls give 100/25. I think that the gold reward could easily be cut in half to 200/25 if you don't want it to be only 100/25.

-The new MK is kina OP. The main thing I see with him is that he has slow, stun, and super fast run speed with momentum. This makes it really really hard to escape from him so your basically a PK waiting to happen.

-This might just be me but for some reason it looks like the South has a slight advantage with terrain in their favor. Just throwing this out there since I'm not 100% positive about it.

-More quests would be great since the current quests could be finished pretty quickly in some games.

-Artifact items and the special shop items need a buff since at the moment there inferior to upgraded items bought at the home base.

-Not sure if this is intended but you can use the hearthstone then cancel the teleport to use it as a potion (at higher ranks).

-Summons seem to be quite strong early game, and are still quite good late game. BM and the Archmage hero are good examples of this.

Maybe an item that could be bought would be a dispell staff?

[doomhathcometh]

The dispel staff is a good idea. Particularly since BM is kinda OP late game. I mean, he can hearthstone in with, like, 6 guys, two of which have greater bash. Lots of stun.

-Doom

Dispel would be pretty lame. It just kills some heros, but I agree, the game needs money sinks.

Hiring spawns doesn't waste that much money.

I don't think we need more quests because there isn't much time, honestly speaking, to even be in the game (60mins isn't much time to run about and destroy your opponent/capture all spawns)

[leek]

Well dispel isn't the most elegant solution because your right, ti does hurt some heroes a lot more then others, however at this point some heroes need a way to fight back against summons.

Hiring spawns is very little cash, especially late game.

I don't know what games you've been playing but quite often when I play ether one side finishes all its quests in under 10-15mins and rolls the other team, or the both teams do and its a long drawn out battle.

-For the universal hotkeys I've personally always found W,E,R and C better then Q,W,E,R. Just my opinion that I'm throwing out there.

[doomhathcometh]

I find the current quest system is good. I mean, if it was longer, you would have heroes who never even fought in a lane. Some games, both teams have 10 upgrades and the golem. Some games, the winning team only had 6 upgrades, and a stage 2 golem.

-Doom

Universal Hotkeys are something I'd like to see in almost all Wc3 maps. It makes playing them less of a pain because my hands do not conform to certain weird hotkeys like others. (I mean seriously I've seen WCRD and it's pretty hard to use)

QWER is my prefered choice, but WERT isn't that much of a striking difference.

Perhaps if these Universtal hotkeys were implmeneted for the shops too. It would be great......

[doomhathcometh]

Lol. Two separate conversations at the same time.

-Doom

Good idea, light. I'll write this down for tomorrows version.

[amdeadnow]

lol i prefer wasd as hotkeys but w/e and i guess u havent played the new mk to see it was nerfed.

[leek]

The MK comment was from about a week ago. It was during that game where you owned anything that came close to you.

I seen the stun nerf, and that its melee now, seems like the perfect change. Not something I would have though of though
