Bleibt zu hoffen, aber bisher Konkretes kam von Jinjaah leider noch nicht

Schau mal :

None of the fixes we discussed in previous threads were slated for 12.2. We are planning a large number of changes mainly focused on the blue and red lines for update 13. I will post those changes once the decisions become final and we can talk about them.

Mr Champ Dev Sir

I ask that when you consider changes to the champion please don't change the flavor of the ardour champ. It's such a beautiful combat flow and aside from the might and finesse traits that never ever ever get used, traits and bonuses are spot on and useful. Well, to be honest, one thing that has happened is bladestorm is now the red headed step child skill of ardour. I would suggest making bladestorm have a range of 8 meters or possibly hit as many targets as raging blades or both, since it costs more pips than raging blades but does less damage than blade wall, fury of storm, and raging blades. It needs something to make those 4 pips worth it. The only thing I can think of that makes it useful is the ardour moors bonus against wars packs to keep slows on them.

There are many wonderful suggestions to redline so I feel the need to keep quiet and let the experts speak on this matter, but I know whenever I trait redline I feel like a clunky awkward teenage boy at his first middle school dance. It needs something to make it pop. I take that back, one thing I would love to see is the sprint trait giving a significant boost to sprint. I mean good grief, it's so far down red line it should really do something nice like cut sprint cd in half or maybe increase the speed by 5% per trait point or something. The base skill is good but seeing captains with a groupwide sprint with a 1 min 30 sec cd (or something like that) makes the champ 5 min cd sprint seem a bit archaic.

Don't worry, the intention is to bring the red line up to the yellow and surpass it in some respects for single target effectiveness, not nerf yellow to red.
