Unpopular opinion (maybe?): Aladdin's trait needs reworking

[The Alchemist]

When 99% of players funnel into the same meta, I think that's generally an indication the mechanic needs changing

I'm referring to the trait -> magic object spamming every Aladdin does before the match begins.
I have never once seen any Ala players use the trait in any other way such as pulling off a clutch team-heal during a boss fight, or using the AoE attack option just in time to clear a grimoire. Nope. He's just a magical item giver.

The trait concept is awesome and sounded really fun on paper, but in practice, just turns Ala into a vending machine who can also do flips.

Yea it's not a fun trait, even if it is thematical. I love the main abilities and his general gameplay, but his intial ultimate and his trait is just so boring to use.

I always use the AOE explosion just to "safety and save time".
I didn't aware the magic item giving is so good.
Should try soon.

Agree he is a more boring hero due to less button to play in combat (2 less skill)

It's not good. Well, at least in solo play. All you get is a maximum of 75 shards + crappy items like "+3 damage". That is completely useless. Going to a more rewarding map location instead and using his trait 2 times to instantly gain 300 shards, an epic/legendary object or a finish a quest/boss quickly is so much better in the long run. I think that Aladdin is an actual piece of crap when it comes to gameplay. There is no reason to play Aladdin over any other character apart from thematic and asthethic preference. He is weak af.
