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. Execution

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Cooldown increased to 6 seconds.
  2. Kira Pistols

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Falloff range increased to 25-35 meters.
