As you can see from the pic, I’ve regained a liking for him. It’s not always fun to stomp through your opponents, but this new skin is so cool I find myself unconcerned with the quality of gameplay for a few days. I especially love the detail on the back, which looks like a card sporting the letters C and M where you might normally find a card’s rank. That’s not what this post is about, though.

This post is about the upcoming TF change. It’s been a topic of red posts for months now, and Phreak finally said it will be coming “very soon.” I have to say, I’m excited. He could potentially get nerfed through the floor, but I do like his character design, and putting him somewhere in that range of deadly-in-the-right-hands but not oh-my-god-legendary-in-anyone’s-hands would suit me just fine. I’m willing to bet he’ll lose the global slow/visibility, and he might even lose his port. As for the other skills, I’d say anything is possible. Part of the problem with TF as I see it is his range of skill and the potential for nukes. Wild Cards has a crazy-low cooldown, which, when paired with Pick a Card turns into a lot of opponents getting 3-shot. There’s also the fact that Gold Card is a stun, a slow, AOE damage and has the potential to crit. It’s pretty tough to keep TF from scaling to unmanageable levels very early in the game.
