Proposed changes 2 · 1 buff · 1 nerf

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. Photon Projector

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Beam range increased to 14 meters.
  2. Sentry Turret

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Beam slow reduced to 10% per turret.
