vorpal reflect

[jamescossey]

wasnt totally sure where to post this. but after testing vorpals reflect with sxnova and sxazure. stacking spell resist on vorpal is a waste. it only reflects the actual damage taken. as in if u would take 2k damage with out spell resist it will reflect 500 damage to everyone in melee rage. 500 damage to each person. if u have 50% spell resist and only take 1k it will only reflect 250 to each person. when they are out of the 3.3 range the damage drops drastically. at one point in the test, one of them was at about 5 units and took half of the person taht was at melee rage took.

 

so if possible like its been talk about a couple times. change vorpals reflect to something else since its one of the most worthless skills in the game right now. the predator reflect seems to happen before midigation and has unlimited range. no reason vorpals could not.

Mr james i think this is a wonderful idea and i agree it is pretty worthless as a skill

Vorpal reflect is intended to reflect before mitigation. If your post is correct, it's a bug. That said, I don't think you're correct here.

 

Also - Predator's reflect isn't AoE, Predator doesn't have a gap closer that makes him untargetable, Predator isn't ranged, and Predator's reflect doesn't last infinitely.

not sure but i think massive movement speed is much better then that drag that vorpal does or the fact that CDR doesnt help vorpal at all since it doesnt make him get orbs back faster. predators reflect has unlimited range and reflects spell damage and physical not does it reduce in damage the further someone is away from them. so lets see a proper predator build you are at 4-5 speed. when someone is low health close to you, you jump up to 7 speed. and predator does aoe damage like vorpal, yet predators ultimate can do way more damage then vorpal could ever put out.

 

the whole fact of the matter is vorpals reflect only does any worth while damage if the enemy is in melee range and most heros that use spell damage like stalker will never be in melee range. the heros that do get in range so vorpal can fight have so much leech reflect doesnt make a difference. and dont say buy an Axe because reducing someones leech by 80% isnt enough when they have darwin might active leeching for 300 health per hit.

I agree his w is worthless, and needs to be changed.

Bandit's Artifice does help Vorpal's final at least XD. [it doubles his orb production if the clone is alive]. The same thing shud happen if you have shadowmourne and attack an enemy vorpal altho that shadow won't last long enough most the time to give your orbs for passive. :P

I once saw an intelligence boros pull an enemy vorpal into his allies, causing the death of his two teammates who were low hp beside him.
