Baptiste Balance Changes

Immortality Field is too easy to step into, while Baptiste's single movement tool should be more reliable in a fight.

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in B and C tier, slightly buff one part of the kit and slightly nerf another. The goal is to reduce the unfair parts of a hero while lessening their weaknesses.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Immortality Field

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Radius decreased to 5 meters.
    Current issue
    It is too easy to enter its range.
  2. Exo Boots

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Charge to full reduced to .6 seconds.
    Current issue
    Baptiste only has one movement tool.
