A History of Conqueror Patches

[Saint Landwalker]

I got bored at work today, so I decided to do a little project. I looked back through all the patch notes since game launch, and compiled a list of all changes made to or notably affecting Conqueror. I grouped them into "Buffs", "Tweaks and Fixes", and "Nerfs".

I suspect nobody will care, but since I did all the work anyway it's not like I'm losing anything by posting it just as a curiosity.

• Tweaks and Fixes
  
  • Bug Fix — Light attacks no longer unsafe on block (1.03)
    
  • Tinkered with the Juggernaut feat that nobody uses (1.11)
  
  
• Buffs/Fixes
  
  • Increased heavy attack damage by 2, from 23 to 25 (1.05)
  
  
• Nerfs
  
  • Removed ability to cancel certain recoveries into full block (1.05)
    
  • Removed top block property on "Shield Bash Riposte" and "Shield Bash Mix Up" (1.05)
    
  • Reduced bonus of Speed Revive feat (1.08.01)
    
  • Dramatically nerfed health gain of Heal on Block feat (1.08.01)
    
  • Melee attacks (i.e. shield bash) now give triple revenge gain (1.09)
    
  • Removed ability to stagger revenging opponents using CC (1.11)
    
  • Removed ability to knock down opponents by using CC while in revenge (1.11)
    
  • Synchronization nerf to running shield bash (1.11)
    
  • Removed Superior Block on OOS heavies (1.11)
    
  • Reduced AOE of zone attack (1.11)
    
  • Removed ability to CGB while in Full Block stance (1.13)
    Caused his zone attack to be interrupted when blocking any attack if in the locked-on state (patch unknown, because it wasn't documented, but I'm pretty sure it was 1.14.1)
    
  • Removed Superior Block entirely (1.18)

I'll let you know now that we aren't going to be diving deep into the rework for tomorrow's stream, but we will have a slight tease for you. We'll progressively be unveiling more details in the lead up to Season 5.

You should have Roman answer this question on the stream:

Why the hate for Conquerer?

Believe it or not, he apparently has a flail that he keeps on his desk.

It's to remind him of who his mortal enemy is, of course.

In all seriousness, I'm looking forward (anxiously and worriedly, but looking nonetheless) to seeing and hearing more details about Conqueror in the upcoming weeks. And I know UbiJurassic is going to slip me that hot insider info sneak peak under the table so I don't go completely insane between now and mid-February...

I chuckled on the outside and cried on the inside (and also maybe on the outside).

Since I'm an old fart who isn't hip to memes or whatever, when I first saw this on Reddit I had to get people to explain it to me.

Hey, at least you get a response for why they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over your hero. They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over Shinobi and won't even talk about it, not even UbiJurassic.

The feedback on the problem has been brought up to the team. I don't have any news to share on it at this time, but if I get more details I'll make sure they are relayed to everyone.

Hi, Jurassic... Can I ask something... Are here any chances on Valk rework in Season 5? Maybe mid-season? No?

Ouch indeed. No wonder why i felt so weak.

I'm glad he's getting reworked. Hopefully Ubi makes him into an actual hard hitter.

Hopefully they make him into something actually freaking usable.

The biggest problem with Conqueror right now isn't that his damage is so low, it's that he's so slow that everyone can react to him and never have to make any reads or take any risks, while he has to read everything because once he commits to anything his miserable speed (especially when it comes to dodges) locks him in long enough to ensure he gets punished every time he moves.

Conqueror is actually jesus.First he spreaded his teachings of the Rah,but salty players
couldn't stand his magnificence,so they convinced the Romans(Developer named Roman,coincidence?)to start nerfing him.So conqueror became the target(cross)of numerous nerfs,until he finally succumbed to his injuries after his superior block removal,only to be resurrected with his rework.

Still don't think he deserves his ornament?

Valkyrie will definitely get changes, as we are looking to adjust all 12 original heroes during Season 5. As far as to what extent she will be changed or adjusted, we don't have those details to share just yet.
