As people are saying, King is strong in this meta, which is a whisper King D2 Meta, Which I don’t find as a problem. But it needs a counter.
Also concerning another hot thread going around concerning the lack of framing and retribution, we need more of that. So my idea is this.
Analysis:
- Noble is mostly played as a weak whisper class.
- The King Whisper Meta is very strong.
- Noble and Aristocrat gets to see the King’s whispers on a limited amount.
- In replacing Snoop with Royal Advisor, they have lost out on a powerful but not a fitting ability.
- Their voting aspect must, therefore, be strengthened.
- Result: They must be buffed.
Analysis:
- Apostle is also buffed like Noble but gets fewer uses for each ability, fitting the theme of the Cult.
- It also gets a form of Telepathy to be like the Psychic.
- Because Noble gets buffed, Apostle gets buffed too.
Analysis:
- The Illusionist carries a very useful framing ability, Mind Warp, that should probably be more prominent among Evil classes.
- Mental Blur however, confirms an Illusionist, and does not really help at all.
- Mental Blur has been changed to be buffed up, but still allows people to talk after the first trial, so they can defend themselves if accused.
Analysis:
- Expose is usually completely unnecessary, but because some class needs to have that niche ability, Marshal will be fine with it.
- The Snoop that was taken from The Noble/Aristocrat/Apostle shows here in the form of Forge, which is a Day Ability so that Marshal can use the nighttime to edit the player’s logs and then plan on the Unseen killing said player.
- Unseen classes usually don’t last very long anyways due to the fast nature of the faction.
- Result: Snoop had to go somewhere.
Analysis:
- Unseen needs more framers to make framing a somewhat more prevalent thing in ToL.
- Duchess’ Dark Wisp becomes a framing tool.
- The NS ability is moved to a Day Ability to allow it to be used in non-conjunction to Bat Eyelashes.
Analysis:
- Assassin’s Distract is so weak
- Preventing Day Abilities will become much more useful and flexible in lots of ways.
Analysis:
- Expose is a niche ability, it would be fine to leave it on just the Marshal.
- And to match Unseen Investigative classes, the Seeker can also frame.
To also have a Day Offensive Ability, Invoker gets a buffed up Bewilder that is much more flexible and usable.
Analysis:
- Acolyte used to be a thing.
- Invoker got buffed up.
- So to make Invokers equally common as other converts and not twice as common,
- Acolytes are now Killer converts.
