As a Kelvin main i have gotten used to my teammates raging at me when they accidentally hit my Icepath or are inside my ult.
Heres some proposed QoL changes to make him less frustrating as a teammate.
- Add small "Guardrails" to Kelvin path so teammates can more easily run and follow you on it? (it seems too difficult for for teammates to run on without slipping off.
- Abrams Ult now smashes through Kelvin path and breaks it
- Lash Ult now throws enemies through kelvin path breaking it while falling
- Lash 1 now Slams through and breaks Kelvin path
- Hitbox of Pockets abilities and other abilities can no longer hit Kelvin from outside his Dome
I also think Kelvin seems slightly too weak after all the nerfs he has received.
Sometimes I'll have the same gold as a Vindicta/Grey talon and when I fly up to them and 1v1 I don't even come close to winning. Keep in mind my Beam slows Movespeed and I am building Warp Stone for armor. In my eyes his beam has been nerfed way too hard. It's range, atk speed and Movespeed slow were nerfed. Not just slightly but nerfed from 90% to 40%. People very easily just dash out of your Beam because it doesn't seem to be affecting dash speed.
I feel like Kelvin should be a strong hard counter to Vindicta and Grey Talon but I feel as if I lose more 1v1s against them even when itemizing into Mystic Slow and Warp Stone to buff myself before I fight.
The two nerfs to Escalating Exposure really hurt Kelvins DPS potential mid/Late. I basically dont have a gun since its a waste of time to fire it in a teamfight. I don't think a big buff is necessary, just a slight one after all the huge nerfs.
