Sojourn Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in S and A tier, slightly nerf each part of the kit. The author notes these are not all meant to be implemented, and invites feedback on which should take priority.

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. Railgun (charged shot)

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   A .25 second wind up when the button is pressed. This wind up is not applied during her ultimate.

   Current issue

   The charge shot is excellent at bursting down health and travels very fast, on top of the damage her primary fire already does.

   Reason

   Puts more of the 180 nuke headshot on the player's skill.

2. Disruptor Shot

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Radius reduced to 3 meters and cooldown increased to 18 seconds.

   Current issue

   It can block out escape routes.

3. Power Slide

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Cooldown increased to 10 seconds and movement speed set to 14 m/s.

   Current issue

   It is a strong speed tool for getting in and out of fights.

4. Overclock

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Ultimate cost increased to 2450 charge.
