That 3% Lightning Damage Nerf Makes Interaction with MM Inconsistent
I know it feels like nitpicking but Lightning after 3% damage nerf can only kill Mega Minion (+2)* at level 3 and level 4.
*corrected as pointed by /u/Musaks
Lvl | Lightning (Damage) | Lvl +2 | Mega Minion (HP) | Result :--|:--|:--|:--|:-- 1|630|6|632|Survive 2|693|7|695|Survive 3|762|8|762|Die 4|837|9|837|Die 5|919|10|920|Survive 6|1,008|11|1,011|Survive
Executioner interaction added as pointed out by /u/Notyrb
*Fixed lvl 8 Lightning damage
Lvl + 2 | Lightning (Damage) | Lvl | Executioner (HP) | Result :--|:--|:--|:--|:-- 3|762|1|760|Die 4|837|2|836|Die 5|919|3|919|Die 6|1,008|4|1,010|Survive 7|1,108|5|1,109|Survive 8|1,215|6|1,216|Survive
This is kind of huge in Ladder imho because of rarity disparity. It is harder to level Lightning to level 7 than maxing Mega Minion.
I am not saying to revert the damage nerf, but a lot of people said that no major interaction changes which I assume Lightning should still consistently kill MM+3 at any level which it previously did before the nerf.
Just make it consistent, by either buffing Lightning damage by 1% (or just revert the damage nerf) or further nerfing Lightning damage by 1%.
Note: I have used Lightning since before 0.5 stun was added. The purpose of my post is to point out inconsistency by that 3% reduced damage. I hope they revert it in December.
