SAY YOUR THOUGHTS

SpottyRed commented 2 years ago

Shouldn't the presences be in a single toggled ability like brewmaster?

Burning_September replied 2 years ago

I don't like, how Brew's stances looks, so I decided to make Presences as separated abilities, that only upgrades together.

SpottyRed replied 2 years ago

I see, I didn't realize they upgraded together. Makes sense. You could also make it a directional toggle, with Q and W. (not saying it's a good idea, it's just another option)
