Baptiste: New Halcyon Hero. Thoughts? :: Vainglory discussion on VaingloryFire

Okay, so the new Halcyon Hero has been Revealed.

He seems to me like Krul-ish Mage, who fights like a mixture of Baron, Celeste and Fortress.
Looks like a Cp (predominant) or Wp hero, possible Jungler.

What are your thoughts?
And any ideas when he will be playable?

He looks Creepy to me.
I also think that his basic Attack might be meelee but he is a mage, like reim.
His Ult causes chaos, hopefully it won't be cancer.
His b is OP, u are like just trapped there, like a mini Gauntlet(goodbye ardan)
and is A slows? SEMC must make sure that Frostburn WOnt stack on the slow or I'm going to sue SEMC for making such an OP hero.(jk)

In conclusion, I think he might be a cancerous jungler, who can gank so easily by just using b ability and A and basic attack(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). Even better than Petal in Update 2.1(ya I said it).

Baptiste play style would be similar to Samuel and Glaive. Samuel in terms of the healing, sustain, whereas Glaive in terms of knocking enemies out of position. A Baptiste/Lyra/BF/Glaive combo would be deadly. Baptiste poke with A, get 3 soul fragments, Lyra Ult, Baptiste engage. Baptiste Ordain, gets empowered, ults, pushes enemy ADC into Glaive/BF

To me he seems like a powerful support mage like Lyra because of all the CC he can dish out. However, his passive pushes him towards being more of a, well jungler or carry because of the extra damage. I think he could pass as a support mage but I think people are going to prefer a tankier support than a support mage with no mobility.

Slows don't stack so will probably be useless on him

I think that too
I'm wondering if the slow is stronger than Gwen's A.
His A seems to be spammable.
I still hope that he's not cancer.

Also everybody is underestimating Baptiste as a captain

Yea I agree, should not be stacked. Else it's going to be too soap.

I am skeptical of him being a pure support, and i think he must be a very slow character like Reim.
He could be like one of those Tankier Cp Characters.
