Chill rework?

[iosifd.1563]

I've always wondered whats the point in cripple when chill exists its just way better out of the two the movement speed slash and skill recharge delay is insane especially in competitive game modes, so what am I advocating for? For chill to have its movement speed effect to be completely removed and just have its roll to slow down enemy's skill recharge would be more healthy instead of just having two conditions that just do the same thing but ones better why not separate them even more?

So how do you feel about Slow?

The REAL problem with things like cripple and chill is their violation of the law of physics about the conservation of momentum. You could be in a mid-air while jumping across platforms, having already built up momentum to clear the gap, but if you get hit with chill while in mid air, it's like you hit a soft wall and there goes your momentum and you just fall to your doom.

The other problem with them is that it's annoying to get crippled or chilled by average mobs all the time, but that's just me. I need an ability that reflects the cripple and/or chill back and causes the offending mob to explode in a big ball of fire. That would be satisfying.

Pssst... should we tell him about the millions of violations of the second law of thermodynamics?  Maybe he hasn't noticed that magic users aren't combusting into massive fiery balls of death.

It's call magic, not physics.

We should just delete all boons and just permanently quadruple everyone's base stats. To hell with boon upkeep. Just KILL KILL KILL!

I always wondered what's the point of immobilize when float exists and it's just more fun in general.

I will be forever angry that slow and quickness don't just cancel eachother out. It'd make sense and it'd be a neat/unique interaction but NOOOOOO.

[iosifd.1563]

kitten are people always like this on here? XD But yeah legit, i dont see nothing wrong with it keep that good old chill effect just no movement speed debuff

[MileVual.9241]

When reaper first came out they tried something different with chill, transforming it into a DoT condi that at certain amount of certains actual FREEZES and completely IMMOBILIZING the target for a few seconds, this caused lots of issues and bugs in PVP so they completely removed it and change it into the boring chill = bleed we have today.....now that PVP and PVE are more seperate than they have ever been these days i really wish they would bring this flavor back to reaper for PVE and just leave it out of pvp so we dont have the bugs/issues.
