Do the devs hate havies? | Forums

Most of the heavies are quite UP now, mostly got nerfs, rendered useless (conq) while pay2win heroes like cent and now shaman were introduced. Do the devs hate heavies? Most of the conq an lb players I knew swiched to the pay2win heroes because it's much more easy to own with em..

They are working on their kits (conq, kensei, orochi as far as I know) LB isn't bad at all you just have to know the kit well.

yeah I don't quite agree with that as well. He can be such a pain in the *** in the right hands with little one can do if you happen to play one of the many classes conq counters due to his insane superior block proberties and little opportunity windows in which you can place a counter attack. He is just too plain and boring, but again, with the usage of all of his hidden mechanics he can do extremely well.
But I surely agree that he needs a rework (and as stated he is on the rework bench already for quite some time). Since Damien is already in love with the Kensei changes in their internal version of the game I assume that they have made some progress with the reworks. So hopefully we will hear some news on that soon

Wrong. He's among the deadliest heroes from the roster. I've met a Conqueror main in a 4v4 match at 180 gear stat, and three of us couldn't take him down. Three. And that's one example, I've met others in Duels who dedicated time to learn Conqueror, and believe me, he's really hard to counter when your opponent is really skilled.
