Moshi moshi! Let's Bring The Heat Back With The Unbreakable Vampire Feed CC (PvP)! You know don't you? That "forgotten ability" that has a 5 second channel time that does absolutely nothing but make it harder for you to cast your Vampire ultimates while requiring you to be stealthed?
Why should vampires be punished for using a mechanic (A.K.A. cannot cancel feed animation)?! As Feeding stands if you use it on a player you are none the less screwed because they can break out of it and wallop you while you resume your feed animation unable to defend yourself! This change was highly unnecessary and should be reverted. The only, and I mean ONLY players to demand this change was the perma-blocking Dragonknights of Update 1.5 and that is long history.
As of right now feeding is entirely useless unless you are an extreme roleplayer that only stays at stage 1 Vampirism. As the Feed mechanic stands we:
(1) Revert this unecessary change and make it an Unbreakable CC or;
(2) Get rid of feeding and stages altogether or;
(3) We buff it in some way, shape, or form [Vampire Lord confirmed next update (not)].
Let's be honest here, everyone (that plays Vampires competively now-a-days) stays at stage 4 Vampirism for the reduced Bat Swarm and Mist Form cost. The real question is: what is the point of the "Stage" mechanic for Vampires? And the answer is: Lolwut who stays in Stages 1 - 3 Vampire?!
Feeding would still be a useless mechanic to most, but why not make this "forgotten ability" stronger? Now if we think about some of the possibilities this ability can offer we can say it deals X amount of damage, or X amount of ultimate, or even gave resources back? To bring balance to this ability we can say it gives the enemy player his CC immunity when the effect ends and when attempting to feed on a CC immune player Vampires will be unable to cast Feed.
I wish to feel the power of my useless, forgotten, once-beloved ability within my grasps once again! The very best part of Feeding is the screams the enemy makes... (
and Stage 1 looks).
