I think the problem lies in the COST of all items. The health stat is basically ur main and most important stat to outlive the opposition. As it stands in most occasions, if you have more max health the ur opponent in a 1v1 chances are you'll have a 95% success rate at pushing them back or even killin them.

People choose to health stack coz when comparing the benefits of the current health items to other equips categories such as gloves, the health equips are the most viable option for their cost to maintain ur ground within the game (a lot of health equals sustainability). Therefore the desire for offensive equips is decreased drastically.

The most simple solution i propose is to either reduce the cost of non-health beneficial equips, or increase the effect/power of more offensive items. I am willing to address these issues in my balance mod also, so let me know if u guys want me to do this.

I believe this game is about tactics and not an 'endurance contest'.

How about increasing the cost if you buy again?

Someone agrees with me! Izuz, I've been saying the same thing for months(apart for the nerfage of HP items, they'll be fine because they won't give that much a % increase, so people won't need to stack to gain a huge advantage over nonstackers).

Huzzah!

But what they should also do is buff tower scaling. They're OK when all the DGs are level 1, but become easy prey at level 5-6 and useless after l10.

you already die pretty fast in the game. these things will just make you die faster.

and i think that its not neccessary to buff damage AND nerf health items. either or! i like the priest idea though.

i dont know about lategame when your own armor is also very high but early game it mitigates around 30 percent.

I want to say again how much I agree with what I quoted before. Those changed would revitalize DG for me 110%.

I disagree, I said it once before and I'll say it again. \Don't blame the monks when  stuff like sigils and hp flags are what is breaking the game, not the idols.

I want stronger minions!! preferably stronger shamblers and lighting balls.

Edit

Reduce blood of the fallen from 900 to 400 hp, and alittle hp regen.

I've constantly seen attack towards monks blaming them for hp stacking while they are not at the source of the problem.

Then change the items, armor, and thier cost; not the monks which are simply being used as the scapegoat for hp stacker. Monks are important to those who simply can't stack hp and then go off and kill everything as they are now. Changing their heals from a percent to a base as stated before can easily make the either A. overpowered or B. Broken and useless.

Their is no base heal that will work naturally with every demigod Something that works god with tb, reg, or QoT; chances har woulsb'r work well with the likeliness or Rook or UB, and if you switch it around the heal would probably be overpowering on QoT, Tb, or Reg.  Also the jump from 10 - 15% between monks and bishop isn't even cost worther as the change isn't that much really.
