My Clan was asking how my Harvest Jack was panning out. I sent this screen grab to Discord. Sitting at >1000 wins. Most of the losses were when I was tweaking Pumpkin's gear. The dude is a beast. His AE crits for about 30k (each target), but more importantly, he locks down entire teams with that AE True Fear. Most of the time, I am getting 2-3 turns on my whole team before the enemy gets 1. I have Mortu-Macaaab for 24% speed aura in Arena and Golden Reaper sitting at 237 speed.
Round goes like:
Golden Reaper opens with 20% turn meter boost & 30% 2 turn speed buff on my team
Rhazin uses AE enemy turn meter reset + damage (whole team goes to 0 turn meter at this point)
Mortu casts AE block buffs .. also does reasonable damage
Harvest Jack casts AE True Fear & -30% speed debuff on enemy team .. crits around 30k damage on each target
Golden Reaper gets another turn and casts AE -50% ATK debuff on enemy team .. does a little damage
Rhazin goes again with single target -60% Def & 25% Weaken debuff .. plus big damage (target those single big hitters like Turvold, Tayrel, etc)
Mortu will go again with single target that blocks 100% heals and lowers turn meter.
.. at this point enemies might finally get their first turn. But with the True Fear from pumpkin, they have a 50% chance of doing nothing at all and blowing the skill cooldown of the skill they would have used. This happens quite a bit.
At this point I continue just turn for turn fighting the very crippled enemy team. But every time Pumpkin uses his A1, he has a chance to steal a buff from an enemy PLUS a 35% chance to land normal Fear. This chance goes to 100% if he steals a buff. Regular fear has a 50% chance for the enemy to blow their turn (cooldowns remain intact though).
So you can clearly see, how OP Harvest Jack is. There are Reddit threads about how he hits weak. They are completely missing the point here! He is a monster Crowd Control beast. On top of that, they clearly aren't gearing him properly. With 95k HP on mine, critting for 30k AE is pretty damn big in my opinion. They are comparing to glass cannons like Rae or Skullcrown who are 1 trick ponies and have 0 utility.
Below is a shot of worst case scenario where the enemy actually went first. He got a couple turns in, but then my team proceeded as normal and pumpkin locked everyone down with AE true fear. They didn't get any more turns after that and got ground down. Also note, Pumpkin did more damage than anyone else in my team... what damage problems???
!! Mark my words.. ignorant masses are complaining about him now, but I would not at all be surprised to see him nerfed in the future once people actually start gearing him properly and putting books and masteries on him. !!
