Has anyone else realized that the health regeneration on the Barbarian King's ability has absolutely no function? You can basically give the Barbarian King that health regeneration amount in his standard HP and it'd be exactly the same thing.
Defenses don't retarget when used. I don't know, today just felt like one of those days where I wanted to complain a little.
It serves to give motr incentive for using his ability and punishes people who don't use it
I sat here for a few minutes thinking of a reply to prove you wrong.
I couldn't think of one, except for people that forget to use it don't get the extra health.
The ability isn't supposed to make them retarget, that's only the queens ability. Plus I've been getting health boost, u do have to wait til your king gets damaged.
What are you talking about? Why would his ability cause a defense to retarget? Does a rage spell on a golem make defenses target the pekka?Quote:

It delay the use of the abilities give you a choice which make it a bit more strategic.
If you bring barbarians along you have the choice to use the iron first right at the beginning when you have most barbarians still alive and grouped around your BK, If you do so you don't have the health regeneration benifit since your already at full health and it does not add more HP above the max.
Or you can wait till your BK has been damaged then use your ability by that time you may have lost some of your original horde of barbarians or they may have wandered around and no longer closed enough to be inside the rage circle.
So you see more strategy on when you use the ability. It has a function. It is different then only having more HP.
I forgot to use it once in war cause i was watching other stuff. Wasn't happy that extra health would have gotten a extra precent or so. I miss old pre nerfed barb king and his high hp and dps.

I realize he summons Barbarians haha. Thank you for the reminder that his ability has other functions, however I wasn't talking about his ability as a whole.
The only useful reply was this
Interesting, didn't think of the defense portion but there it is.Quote:

For example, say you're doing a collector raid, and your barbs and archers only manage to destroy 48% or so in the process. You can release your BK, and then hit heal and immediately end the battle as soon as you hit 50%, and your BK should be ready to go again by the time your next barch army is finished building, rather than needing to wait an extra hour or more. If the BK just had the health added to his max, you wouldn't be able to do this.
