Introduction

Throughout the game, there are many buffs and nerfs to creatures that occur. Sometimes, creatures who were trash to begin with become absolute monsters. Dilorach and Pteranokyrie are great examples of creatures starting off bad and becoming meta creatures. Other super dominant creatures have been toned down, like Ref who didn't get changed, but Super Distraction went from a CD of 2 to a CD of 3, which is fair. And then, some creatures got changes that were just...dumb. Not in the way people think of Geminideus, but these changes just don't make sense. So, let's just cover some of those.

"Epic Changes"

Let's kick this off with Stegoceras. This epic is not very epic to begin with, so when it got a buff, it looked like it could be good. But alas, adding a fierce aspect to its critical impact does basically nothing. Sure all 5 Carbonemys users will be quaking in their boots, but Stegoceras needed far more help than that to become a usable epic. A swap, on escape, or more in the way of stats or (preferably and) resistances are needed to save this epic.

Let's not look THAT far back and instead look at 2 recent epic buffs!! Monolophosaurus is one of my more beloved epics, and it's a shame that it belongs in the trash can when an epic format rolls around. So when I saw it under the "creature change" section, I was hyped up. But that buff does NOTHING. Woahoah!! 25% resistances are just dandy as can be!! And, what's this??!! 100 extra HP. Well if you ask me, that's a bit much don't you think? In all seriousness, tough group cunning strike is nice, but you can slap on a 25% decel resistance on a creature that can't take advantage of it and call it a day. 

Oh, and who can for get Ouranosaurus. Watch out everyone!! With that .25 counter, you best change out of your white trousers if you happen to face this epic in battle! And with 10% armor added on a monstrous 3600 hp??!! Is Ludia going crazy with this powercreep or what?? And, they gave it two 50% resistances?? Are they crazy or what? All that time, building up Ankylodicurus and Dimodactylus, wasted. I mean what are they going to do against Ouranosaurus? Curse this powercreep.

Legendary Buffs

There's only one here, but folks, it's a big one. I nearly passed out with fear when I saw that Ardontosaurus gained 10% bleed resistance!! When I saw this I kind of popped off. I mean I'm terrified for this upcoming legendary tournament when Ardontosaurus walks in with 10% bleed resistance. My Spinoceratops and Thylaconyx are helpless against it. I mean watch out everyone, because I don't know how else you can beat something that got an overhaul like this!

Unique Changes

Oh boy, when Albertospinos came out, it was kinda bad. But then, out of the blue, it got a big buff! It got better stats, resistances, and merciless alert. I was like man, it's pretty good. However, the meta went on and times were rough for Albertospinos. But then, like a miracle, it got a new buff! Not only did it get 100 attack, but watch out because it got the biggest counter upgrade out there. Minimal critical counter became MINOR critical counter. I'd be lying if I said my timbers weren't shivering when I read that. Now I was afraid Albertospinos would run rampant. Who needs a counter that gives you ferocity and stuns your opponent. Increasing your crit chance by 10% is where it's at!. 

Meanwhile, while Albertospinos was becoming the most broken thing since Lieutenant Dan's legs from Forrest Gump, Albertocevia fell harder than the Roman Empire. I mean, without that 50 attack, what was it to do. All it had was a useless instant ferocious impact, a distracting impact that was a rampage on revenge with 100% damage reduction, a precise rampage, a swap in, and a vulnerability-cleansing counter. Nowadays Albertocevia is regarded as the worst uniques. Without that 50 attack, it's just no longer good.

Parting Words

Small changes aren't bad, but when they're given to creatures that are struggling, well it then feels kind of insulting. It's like the State Farm commercial with the old man and the dollar. Ludia is dangling these buffs over these bad creatures. And when they do get love, they barely get anything. Thank you for reading this overdramatic article and hopefully all you android players can get back out there!
