    He appears for the most split second, doesn’t say anything , like he used to, and there’s no animation of him shooting his shot anymore.
    His damage still appears in parser though.
    What did do?

    He was disrupting their ecosystem so they broke him.

    In a way, you're correct. The reports were that they reduced the time that allies are available to reduce their damage since they were a bit too strong. They just didn't take into account that it would break Cyborg by making him weaker than the rest when he was at one time the strongest damage ally.

    Yeah that’s why I bought him. Damn.

    A bit too strong??

    Too strong in not how I would describe the Allies.

    Especially the Tier 3 Allies that need a ton of Ally Favor and Alliances to rank up to max rank.

    That is a LOT of resources invested only to get weak Allies. :confused:

    I was told that they're weaker now than they were when released, and that was what broke Cyborg. I'm not sure if it's true on a wide scale, but Cyborg definitely had his timing adjusted for the worse.

    Yeah.... just tried Cyborg.

    He used to come in and leave quick..... but now he appears literally the blink of an eye.
    Sometimes you can barely see him seeing how quickly he comes in and leave. :confused:

    Yep! I really only got him to have a squiz at how ally’s work, back when it was introduced.

    If I’m being honest, the only reason I would buy an ally again is cosmetic. I bought the Batman Who Laughs purely for the tarot card thing.

    But if this is what’s gonna happen to the one in my first slot, the one I actually summon, don’t think I’ll be purchasing anymore.

    Is this across the board or just Cyborg? I can unfortuately see it being Cyborg specific since he was still king when it came to effort put in vs reward for general damage. A bit disheartening to test lvl 9 Supes and see Cyborg outdamaging him, at least on sparring target.

    This has been an issue for several months now, so I am surprised you mention Cyborg vs. Superman. Are you speaking from experience with that comparison? If so, you are doing something different than I am when summoning Cyborg. Last time I tested which was approximately four months ago, Cyborg didn't even compare to the House of Legends Bot in a favorable way except in damage per second. Total damage makes more sense to track for these since they have the same cooldown between use.

    Brought this up back in March.

    One thing I've noticed more is my HOL bot seems to get interrupted a LOT more than it used to. Popped him in he Elite duo 2x last night and both times Stompa knocked him on his butt and he stood there and left afterwards. "THANKS FOR NOTHING HOL BOT". I don't remember this happening as much when I first got him. Maybe I'm just noticing it more.

    I've noticed this too. He doesn't seem to always respond well to the target re-positioning itself like he used to.
  17. Reinheld Devil's Advocate

    It's almost like they want us to get these things, then make them worse so we want newer things when they come out.

    Naaaaah. That can't be it. ECOSYSTEM!!!

    It's always been like that. I'm so sick and tired of it. Literally just waiting for an Ally Favor sale.

    I can't help but laugh when I'm in The Source Wall raid, attacking the One Who Laughs, and my HOL bot makes a hard left (or right) and attacks the Dark Tentacles near me.

    That, or like you said, she just stands there. lol.
