Campy hates novice defeated The Thing... (in General)

...after 1 rounds of combat

EXP Shot warm my angry little heart, GA is now a really quick kill strat.

Heavy ranged attacks are ugly, and without GA really harsh to combat. Maybe it is time for a little boost for the RoS's protection?

nah, because of the exp shot splash damage being only 40% of the main damage GA has no problem what so ever handling those kinds of damages. Even if you hit for 200k on the main target the splash is only 90k max. Against a 5 minion target like yourself with max GA and counting if you have enough HP to retaliate, the GA damage done back is (4*90)*60% which is rougly 216k damage

And thats only GA retaliaiting for the splash damage add the main damage and its 110k given back so all in all GA is a good stopper vs the exp shot and SoD making the Sod clearly not overpowered.

VS the elb its a whole othermatter because the damage done by that thing will overwhelm the GA and give crappy damage back because GA has reduced effect when its level is low relative to the damage do. So if you GA is 200k and the damage given is 600k you will only retaliate about 30k of that.
