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. Energy Javelin

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Impact stun decreased to .3 seconds.

    Current issue
    It may be too easy to escape.
