Nox is anti fun - please nerf

[Combonation]

The game is no fun when mages run the game, even if you get CC immunity in your spells you can't use them because you're silenced and you can't move because you're rooted. So it falls on items to bail me out with the tether and sometimes i can just walk out of the sphere, but her combo is up more than my items. Nox's ultimate is fine i get why they're buffing it because in conquest she can be useless but my problem with her stems from her (and anubis but that's another problem) being spammed in almost every other game of joust. Nox can be very hard to get to on such a small and narrow map such as joust. I understand that there are certain gods who dominate her but you can't tell if someone is playing her until the game starts.

*made the edit to specify since this got more attention than i would have thought.

So you mean to tell me that you have issues against the currently weakest mage ingame?

Weakest? Definitely not. But she isn't particularly strong

Yeah she is nice but she is actually average, other mages can do much better right now.

That being said, i get she has that root combo but so does scylla...and a much more meta mage has it too cept with portals....janus. The Morrigan can two shot most folks too and if you don't die well you are dead anyway because the second skill of her combo is the one used for the kill and its a stun....and she does this from stealth most of the time making it actually worse than Nox by far. I could go on but yeah Nox is easy to deal with.

Just nullify her kit and then laugh. Most guardians can make her a complete joke. So can anyone with a knock up combo. Or mobility or....yeah ill stop.

I honestly don't know what was Hirez thinking with this buff.

70 seconds at max rank is what...42 seconds with max CDr? Around the same cooldown as Odin ring? While Odin needs his ult to be low because that's all he has late game, Nox has one more tool that she can use and I don't see her falling of. Also, Odin is physical, so he doesn't have access to Chronos Pendant like Nox does and thus she can get it lower even faster.

I believed Nox was fine, but this buff is just stupid.

They said in the patch notes what they were thinking:

“As a utility and lock down mage, Nox can bring a lot of control, disruption, and surprising burst to the table. However, her requirement of comboing her abilities can lead her to falling short when it comes to helping a team fight. We are reducing the cooldown on Night Terror to give Nox the ability to contribute to fights more often with the damage debuff and burst that this ability provides.”

She DOES fall off considerably late-game because she has very little teamfight capability: her 2-1 combo only locks down ONE person and you have to stay close to them to channel it or the root gets broken, and due to her 2 having a long wind-up, if you aren't CC'd in it, you can easily just walk out of it...

So late-game in a teamfight, Nox can lockdown one person, who will likely either Beads it if one of the enemy tanks doesn't bait out the root and block it to save the squishies. Now she's got half her kit on cooldown, so what is she going to do? All she can do is dash into a teammate and burst out of them for some more AoE damage, but now she has no escape... So yeah, they buffed her Ult so she can have it available every teamfight late-game so she can get some AoE and DoT going and have some more impact while her other abilities are on cooldown.

So it IS very analogous to Odin; late-game her Ult is her biggest teamfight ability, just like Odin. And, as I mentioned before, they didn't want to buff her 2-1 combo because they know it's already annoying enough, and last time they buffed her they buffed her dash, so they didn't want to make that even stronger either.

I don't know why you guys fight against the mod here, hes putting down extremely valid facts, If you get caught to her 1 while in her 2, well use beads, if she misses 1, you should be playing very bad to get caught into 2's blast. She's pretty useless regarding to other meta mages in lategame conq. What they buff is her ult, and well, it's not a big game changer, as her main damage is 1 2. I wouldnt even call it a wwwoooaaaa buff. There are much worse opponents than nox guys git gud.

Nox really needs a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerf. People are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cocky with her because they know how overpowered she is and how no matter how bad they play we couldn't kill her unless the entire team takes on this one person.

Doesn't matter your skill level or anything she needs a damn nerf and the majority of the community agrees she does so why doesn't she get one?

She's pretty bad LOL, she has no other way to play other than 2-1 and that only targets 1 singular person, so in team fights she's pratically useless, unless you're fighting a 1v1 Nox isn't gonna do great and she rarely ever does in any game i've played lol.

[no brains]

>nox is op and people crying every single patch asking for nerf
>in upcoming patch she receives -20 sec cd ulti lul

[DaveTheShade]

I think what people are mad about. NOX is a very punishing god when u land 2 1 combo she may not one shot tanks with it but squishes of course it is going to one shot you. U have to respect the NOX player. Picture it like this Road hog from OverWatch u have to respect his hook or els u will die same with NOX. Please keep in mind that her 2 1 combo is very hard to hit

I hope you aren't serious. She is one of the LEAST OP mages. Easy to juke, easy to counter, and falls off late game horribly.

If the "majority" are complaining about her that means the majority are whining babies. You don't see her much in comp/pro play for a reason. Even Ra sees more play lol

Nox is fun and her 1v1 is pretty solid but.....plenty of mages can do a better job killing you and get a multi kill while the one trick pony that is nox, waits to have a chance to do get another kill while she gets demolished or has to run way because she can't do anything for the engagement after she blows her 2-1.

The only reason your whining is because she can kill you 1v1 super fast. Well i got news for you, so can over half the freakin roster and they can all be more useful in a teamfight. Nox is just assassin food late game for the most part.

Her silence is nice, but its all she has going for her.

That's because of his heal and his snipe.

Which means he brings more to the table than Nox does, hence why he's used more.
