| 1s | What's up? I'm Kevin. |
|---|---|
| 2s | We're here to talk about the rework to everyone's favorite abomination, |
| 6s | Stitches. |
| 7s | When approaching the update for the Terror of Darkshire, |
| 10s | the dev team wanted to put more focus on the warrior's utility, |
| 13s | while leaning into the "in your face" feel of his gameplay. |
| 17s | That, of course, means more Hook talents, |
| 19s | while also bolstering and refocusing other areas of his kit. |
| 23s | Take a look. |
| 26s | Stitches' trait, Vile Cleaver, |
| 28s | has been retooled into a more aggressive ability. |
| 32s | Previously, Stitches would spread Vile Gas |
| 34s | to nearby enemies whenever he took damage. |
| 37s | With this update, Stitches will spread Vile Gas |
| 40s | when using basic attacks against his foes. |
| 43s | Continuous attacks to enemies |
| 45s | will increase the duration of Vile Gas, |
| 48s | prolonging its damage-over-time effect. |
| 51s | This is particularly helpful |
| 53s | in boosting Stitches' wave-clear ability. |
| 56s | Slam, his W ability, |
| 58s | now has a slow incorporated baseline. |
| 61s | When Stiches smashes the ground, |
| 63s | enemies that find themselves too close to the large lad |
| 66s | will take extra damage and be slowed. |
| 69s | With increased difficulty of escape, |
| 72s | enemy heroes might want to think twice |
| 74s | before going too deep on a Stitches frontline. |
| 78s | Though the range has been reduced, several talents have been changed |
| 81s | to increase the utility of Stitches' Hook ability. |
| 85s | Serrated Edge, at level 4, deals percentage damage |
| 88s | and reduces the cooldown upon successful hooks. |
| 91s | Gas Flare, at level 13, |
| 93s | does passive AoE damage around Stitches |
| 96s | that will greatly increase whenever enemy heroes are snagged. |
| 99s | And Meat Hook, at level 16, |
| 101s | provides a large heal that can be refreshed with basic attacks |
| 105s | whenever an enemy hero is caught out of position. |
| 108s | Looking for a little extra late-game survival? |
| 111s | Stitches' level 20 talent, Shambling Horror, |
| 114s | passively makes him immune to slowing effects |
| 116s | and grants him a large amount of armor upon activation. |
| 120s | With a more aggressive, in-your-face style, |
| 123s | Stitches brings the goods to effectively disrupt bad guys. |
| 128s | Stitches wants to play, |
| 130s | and he's always looking for new playmates. |
| 132s | Do you have the guts to hook some new friends for him to smash? |
