Skill Mods & Refreshes

Feedback Corner
#1

While we’re looking at level scaling stats and mods at Emerald Rank, can the team take a look at how they are implementing refreshes and the side effect on Skill Mod Upgrades?

Boosting hero’s Skill Power and Basic Damage has thrown the calculation for skill values all out of whack, instead of being nicely balanced between Skill Level and Skill Power/BD, now it’s 99.9% the latter and the Skill Level barely matters (a few specific skills aside).

This has totally devalued Skill Mod Upgrades on these refreshed heroes on any skill that relies on those stats. Previously adding (eg.) a bunch of Blue Skill upgrades to Bagheera drastically increased the power of this skill, and it was a worthwhile investment. Now because his Skill Power is astronomically large, even 200 bonus levels from mods is like adding 1 extra Skittle to an entire jumbo packet, for the price of a Skittle Warehouse.

Would be nice if the team can either figure a more balanced way to handle these refreshes by also buffing skill level scaling, or alter how Skill Mod Upgrades work (use a percentage instead of flat increase?)

I completely agree but would add its not only for refreshed heroes. All new heroes, like Dante for instance, are also relying 99.9% on stats coming from their red skill and/or disk. E.g. modding Dante’s purple skill adds 0.7% damage per mod.

While this is not the end of the world (there are more pressing matters) the team should definitely keep that on their radar for things that have drifted too far and should be fixed (maybe as part of a stat squish)

It’s entirely just the insane boosts in Red Skills or Disks…

Without them the scaling would be actually as it was before - good.
The problem here lies on overreliance on stats. That you can see when levelling the disks and not levelling the skills. It’s not necessary to level up skills without disables as the number would hardly go up.

Thanks for this feedback! I’ll bring back to the team and review.

Thanks! It’s a shame to see what should be a very useful upgrade become not very useful at all on these new/refreshed heroes
