How? Isn't such forum meant to ask these questions?

Well he talks on Reddit lol only way to get him.

Or you can try a pm too, might work.
OR an e-mail, but he probably has a tons of emails to answer so it might take some time I guess.

Actually you might have a chance to just PM or Mail one of the guys. If a topic is mostly polite and actually describing the issues that players have this might get a reaction. Or you could ask them if they plan another Q&A which they do every so often.

I really think they wanted to normalize most of those CDs, which they now have except for CoC which has a higher one, other triggers are all 250 if I'm not mistaken. However I don't think they had a clear enough grasp oh how Mjölnir was doing and that just setting the proc rate to 100% doesn't do it. Of course setting the proc rate to 100 means you won't waste procs due to not triggering the spell after the CD is over, but that hardly compensates for the changes.

Malice though honestly I feel it is worse than before, because it works with Blade Flurry.

I'll consider that. Who would be the best to target? Rory? Chris? Mark? I don't exactly know who is in charge of balance/who the best person would be.

I would go with Mark for a Forum PM, polite PMs seem to always create attention for him.

The thing is such threads often get overtaken with just overall negativity and that isn't too fair. I'm still positive that the intention was more to streamline those items and to avoid those insane skill spam not to heavily nerf Mjölnir. Maybe they already noticed that and adjust it accordingly.

I'm won't get my hopes too high for the CD to revert back to 100ms. I'm also not very optimistic that they want to do too much to make it good with discharge, because that was basically you go to spell and it makes Mjölnir an awkward case were they could make it good for Discharge again... if you have Volls, but it would still be unusable without. I would like a Mjölnir I can just pick up and use for itself, without relying on discharge, this however would mean that it has to be essentially unusable with discharge or the use has to be heavily punished.

On the other hand you can still do very funny things with Malice. You can use Blade Flurry + CwC + some spells and Volls Protector to proc insane amounts of spells. Because Blade Flurry can proc Malice, and CwC procs the spells socketed in your Protector and you get endless amounts of Power Charges. It isn't a very durable build, but I assume it is fairly devastating. This seems like a bit of an overlook, and Mjölnir doesn't have that. You could argue that in theory Cyclone is Channeling too and could get the same effect, but right now only BF is channeling and an attack that hits with Malice.

So I would go with Mark or Rory. Chris might be interested to hear you out, but I doubt he is too deep involved to instantly give you an answer. Mark for me is pretty much the knows basically anything guy and could maybe atleast explain why they made the change and Rory would likely be the one to look into further balance options for Mjölnir.

If an issue is presented in a polite and reasonable way I would expect one of those to take a few minutes to look over it, unless of course they are really swarmed with stuff, but I know that Mark usually tries to check true his PMs and look at the issues... at least he said so. That is why he also told people to stop PMing him about an issue he already responded on^^.

I really would want an answer myself like this is such a dogshit unique now it's unreal.

It's like 5c now

ROFL

TIER 1 unique 5c

D O G shit.

I was thinking Rory but unsure.

I still want an answer so am bumping. :)

There is seriously something wrong if we really MUST go to Reddit to ask a question that won't be answered on their own forums.

They usually avoid answering such question, mostly because

a) People might expect quick fixes even though it likely takes until next league
b) It can have a huge influence on prices and dissappoint players if their speculation is wrong

And beyond that a "We are looking into it" Isn't really doing much, because they constantly reasses balance and figure out required changes, so they are looking into Mjölnir balance already, because that is what they do every league for most things.

Make it live again!

Just remove cd and\or make able to use multiple lighting spells at the same time

Bumping again because we still want an answer.
