A New Mythic Approaches - TINA-9000

That would be great, but I’m not holding my breath… The general mechanic of this type of spell was changed in 4.0 to nerf Ubastet’s ‘kill a newly summoned troop in place of the one that just died’, although puzzingly the devs didn’t acknowledge it at the time and the official stance remains ‘Infernus has always worked in this way’ (eh, no).

I took the time to look for a pre-4.0 video featuring Infernus, took a while but I found one in which you can see the pre-nerf behavior (thanks @Tacet): at around 9:25 in the video Infernus is cast, and you can clearly see his first hit landing on the 2nd troop (killing the first), and his second hit landing on the now-dead 1st troop but still dealing splash damage to the 2nd troop (and killing it).

After 4.0, that second hit does no longer take place, and the 2nd troop would still be alive… How is this not a nerf @Kafka?
