Looks so far like the gap between damage comms and troop support has narrowed massively. Even if not the meta, troop supports should at least be viable!
Something to note. Yes you need r10 for the bonus to 15% but many go that far to also get the relic AND you get more points now. I believe it’s r10 that you can not fill up 3 full trees maxed out at lvl 50 that’s a huge bonus for the lower spenders
@@cyrusjunden skill points thing, you are correct that’s a positive. But essentially needing R10 on every commander before they are usable in pvp puts that out of reach. Take me for example, I use R11 R9 R5 R5 and I’m not free to play. Expecting 4 R10 T3s is extortionate
Man if the devs are too scared to touch beorn and dain in terms of nerfs… at least give evil side finally actual buffs in terms of damage. Cannot believe this
@@TheHJWgaming yeah overall I must say I like the changes to troop damage a lot (why good for agzok? Doesn’t he have 4 commander damage skills?) The changes to Sauron make me sad though, my zenith 4 Sauron doesn’t feel S tier anymore while Gtw at the same time indirectly got buffed because no speed needed on gtw anymore. So we will see 300 focus on gtws now with 77% wc 😂
@@TECHNIKMM sorry I was tired - I meant Azog! The new commander when he comes out should fit these changes like a glove. Saurons interaction was broken. He was too good, so he needed change. Saurons R5 now is a direct counter to GTW WC and DD damage no?
@@TheHJWgaming ahhhh I see yes! But I would also love changes to existing commanders cause investing in a new commander is expensive again xd Sauron r5 is really really nice but on my eyes the scaling could be a tiny bit better
Unfortunately there is always a issue with many games where there is a want fpr developers to help those who choose to spend money on there gamead f2p and it's always gonna be a challenge to find a balance between keeping both around without making one too much over another i think the current state is pretty ok eoth the balance between low spenders big spenders and f2p especially with a good fellowship and if people in that fellowship are spenderd the main issue will be that when more servers fuse together how much would some of those changes affect the balance at the moment which again i think is pretty balanced as someone whos done ftp and ptw. So thye just need to make sure they keep a good balance and they'll be ok
@@bradfordj2011 agree - the problem is the game used to be, compared to other games, very friendly to F2P players. You could invest in dwalin alone for example, and hold your own. Now no chance. That’s my main issue, the gap is widening.
@@TheHJWgaming I know I played ages ago on a earlier server and it was mythed lol for f2p if they can keep it kinda like it is now I think we'd be ok either way but if not bye to f2p
Are the items you get from Mathom Chests in the PBE forever or are they deleted at the end of the event? I wouldn't want to spend gems and coins on chests if they are taken away from me later.
@@21Levi if you buy gems, you should get them in both main game and PBE server. Anything you get in PBE will be gone when the event ends, but spending gems in PBE doesn’t affect main game
@@TheHJWgaming So the commander respect items I get in PBE are taken away from me at the end of the event? So increasing the merit of commanders in the PBE is pointless, right?
@@Zelda-vu2lm compared to the 20% of the times it steals WC, it’s a nerf However 80% of the time when he didn’t steal skills, it’s a huge buff. As now he never steals skills, but he stat debuff is increased heavily
A lot to digest it seems, and commander interaction will take a while to test! However my season starts today so it was make this video today or miss the boat 🤣 Agree there’s some changes that weren’t made that were disappointing, ascension being one, but it does at least seem to narrow the troop support gap
@@TheHJWgaming I have an R14 Gil which was great in 1.0 and I’m just a bit gutted he’s not as good as he was. I also have an R9 dain R8 GTW and R8 Gala. Is it worth eleven hammering all gils 5 star gold and strengthen dain?
I’m excited to see what the changes to troop buff commanders brings about. I’d love to have a bit more diversity in the meta team comps

If troop support becomes strong or even meta, agzok could be disgustingly good!

Will Gil Galad be back to where he belongs at the top?
@@Jayman4291 he’s still strong, not sure about top

@@Jayman4291 he’s definitely strong, if you make him fast enough. In RP he’s probably the meta comm!
