Changing HH to give it a cap of mods that can be "stolen" simultaniously wouldn't be a bad idea tbh.

Like make a "Headcollecter" Belt, that doesn't have the additional damage vs Rares and limit the Buff-stealing to like 2 or 3 at a time and make HH a Prohpecy Upgrade to it.

Win win because slightly more players could get into touch with the cool mechanic without beeing to OP straight away without making HH to common for the Elite folks that jazz on their keyboards while using it^^

How does it feel knowing full well they're not going to do anything? Feels good man in every single league it will still be the same and people like me will get it in like day 3 while you're like I SUGGEST WE TRY TO NERD DIS ITEM!

BYAA

Wow!

You should run for president, because video game stuff.

Mjolnir, pp, cospri, vinktar, bringer of rain, kaoms, shavs, voltaxic, reach of the council all got nerfed.

But HH only gets buffed. Why?

What was the buff to hh? I have missed that?

You forgot skyforth boots.

Legions are now mobs so HH get the rares monsters buff twice.

I want you to seriously look at the common feature of each of the items you listed: They can only be used by certain builds. Not every character can slap on Mjolnir. Most can't even equip Kaoms.

HH can be used by anyone. Everyone. Doesn't have any class that it favors.

Sad thing is, that PoE is a RNG ARPG and people still demand HH to be nerfed. Go farm for it, it's not hard. There are countless ways to farm the currency. And if you don't have the time, its not the game's fault.

It really is hard, not in terms of challenge but nothing in PoE is but in terms of endurance. Farming a HH manually requires more playtime than most people will spend in an entire league including challenges.

The people who get them day 3 just trade/flip/bot/rmt to get theirs they don't get them the hard way.

The best idea is to just not GAF why would you need a HH? WOW LOOK HOW OP I AM I BROSTORM THROUGH MAP CHOPCHOPCHOPCHOPCHOP... Wait i've not even put it on (sorry this isn't aimed at you just pointing out that an extreme power spike in a game where you really don't need it isn't worth much)

Most of those examples actually got what they deserved imo but still perfectly fine, with the exception of Reach, Voltaxic and Poet's.

Reach needed it, at least the first one it depends which nerf your talking about, Voltaxic needed it until about 2 patches later when they removed double dipping and reflect at which point it could and should have been fully reverted.

GGG just needs to go back to their design philosophy of uniques offering a powerful bonus in exchange for a downside. Simply put "5% more damage taken per stolen buff" on the HH.

Then what would we have in terms of chase uniques? This game clearly needs more of them, not less. You actually are giving up something for a HH, whether it be bossing, elder mods, etc. Also, it isn't everyone's preferred playstyle.

I'm going to assume the reasoning behind the "buff" is that they wanted things like maintaining Frenzy charges, Rampage, Bleed Explosions, and other things that work on kill but are also very build defining to function. I doubt it was just an "lol let's buff HH lmao" decision.

Everything surrounding HH this league seems like an accidental side effect of Legion's design. HH has always been powerful but this might be the first case of it causing problems with how content is designed. It would not surprise me that this ends up being a breaking point where HH gets nerfed because now GGG has reached a point where they have to consider what HH can do when designing league mechanics.
