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. Endothermic Blaster (icicle)

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Both cast and recovery decreased to .35 seconds.
  2. Cryo-Freeze

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Duration reduced to 3 seconds.
