ah you right you right <| sep |> it ' s b 8 my friend . you ' ve been had <| sep |> Other MOBAs essentially work in the same way that Paragon is headed though , they just explicitly say X item gives Y amount of abilitybasic damage instead of putting both into one stat bonus . Ability damage is still separate damage from Basic attack damage . Just think of it as Ability damage is your energy damage , and basic damage is your physical damage . They ' re just removing the frustration of being forced into a power type to counter your opponents . There ' s gonna be an adjustment period for sure , but I reckon this is a super smart move and going to be really interesting to see how builds play out from here on . <| sep |> Good luck on it person , I really hope it works out for you , cause this game is awesome
