like, half a dozen have even been touched since the beginning of the game
6? That is less than I thought tbh....

Let's see... Juke, Head Fake, Tunnel Vision, Hands, Smooth Operator, First Step... Not really coming up with too many.

Though, of those changes, only Juke and Head Fake really got nerfed (or accidentally turned off for a few seasons), Tunnel Vision and First Step got little "bonuses" coded in to make them less worthless, and Hands and Smooth Operator were changed to actually do something at all.

Oh, Pump Fake too.

Pretty much just been Fakes, seems like they're difficult to balance as a whole.

Don't forget protector as well.

Forgot protector...

But I wasn't counting Hands and Smooth Operator, since they were never adjusted for balance, they were just completely reworked and left to die.

Then again I'm sure there's some tinfoil hatters that think Bort has stealth nerfed and buffed practically every SA every season or so.

Less tinfoil wearing and more ignorance IMO. Most people are not smart enough to look beyond the obvious. Pretty much every change has unintended results in formulas that factor in anything related to the change... so if say agility's vaue changes in the blocking interaction formula... it will indirectly affect the pass rusher VA, the shed block SA, etc... Unfortunately, most people only see the obvious "effect" and make up dumb theories because they do not understand the "cause". Not much different than ancient man's lack of understanding why a thunderstorm happens, causing them to create a God of thunderstorms to try and explain it.

Hey I got a question.

Will the temporary 25 STs work just like the others in the store?

As in, I have a kinda lame piece of % eq that I would like to trade in so I can shop for a better % piece, they'll still be there right?

As long as you had the % piece prior to the announcement about AEQ changes, and you roll for your replacement prior to the end of next pre season.

3) Swap it for 25 "refund tokens" which will let you shop for new pieces of AEQ. Choosing this option will also give you a full cash/bonus token refund. If you buy a piece of AEQ using refund tokens you will have 5 refund tokens deducted from your refund token account.

In order to prevent people from exploiting trade ins, any +% piece bought as of this announcement will not be eligible for the trade in. There are warning messages in the AEQ store and in the pop up dialogue to make this clear in addition to this announcement. You can only trade in a maximum of two pieces of +% AEQ.

Deadline - You will only have until the end of pre-season for season 15 to make any swaps or to use your refund tokens.

Thanks Jamz, just making sure.

Some people got the message "% is getting nerfed"

I got the message that "% is still the best"

Both messages are correct.

+% is getting nerfed and +% will still more than likely be the best option (depending on how SAs are tweaked). Unfortunately, the change doesn't address the underlying problem, it's merely a band-aid fix.

question. i sell my piece of AEQ, and i get back all the Bonus Tokens and cash. i am then given 25 shopping tokens. what if i dont like what ive rolled after that? i'm not sure what other peoples experience has been shopping, but i have found that it could take alot more than 25 trips to find a piece thats worth investing in.

I think you're getting the option of a direct swap to items that have yet to be determined. If you choose to decline that in favor of the tokens, then you're taking a chance, but even then I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't find something nice in 25 tries.

jd is correct - the 25 tokens is a gamble of sorts. It's up to you which option you choose to take.

Let's keep it to this thread please.

Should maybe edit this post imo.

Moving it to the game changes discussion was supposed to allow for spin-off threads discussing a specific aspect of this new game change and not the game-change as a whole.

How do we exchange our +% AEQ?
