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. Frag Launcher

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Projectile speed increased to 40 m/s.
  2. Concussion Mine

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Center damage decreased to 110.
