Buffs while we wait for reworks? | Forums

[NinjaRonin85]

Can we get some slight buffs for the worst heroes while we wait for reworks?
Like buff lawbringer side/top heavy to 40 damage and reduce stamina cost some.
Buff warlord side heavy to 40 and top heavy to 30 or 35 slight stamina cost reduction.
Buff shugoki with less stamina cost of attacks.
Buff raider with slight stamina cost reduction on his zone/heavy faint mix up.

Balance changes are always on the table, but on recent Warrior's Dens Stefan has mentioned that the team wants to avoid a "ping-pong" effect from too many quick changes. It's safe to say that all the heroes you mentioned are being looked at to some degree, though.

Pick lawbringer for a few duels. You will see how strong he is.

-LB is sh**-tier
-Ikr
-Let's give him +3 dmg on side heavies, he would still be sh**-tier but at least this would be a small improvement to his kit and the players would see we're looking into fixing him
-Lolno let's do nothing, but tell people to git gud and watch this game die. NO PING PONG EFFECT LULZ!!!!

Ubisoft. Never again.

Yeah, sorry to say this, but this pingpong thing is a pathetic excuse. I fell in love with this game mainly because I felt the devs actually care about us, listen to us. Now, I feel it less and less.

I don't think people would mind a few overbuff if it makes some characters at least a little useful. I don't think the lawbringer would be broken with a little stronger top heavy or the pk with a chainstarter dagger cancel, but if you take back these buffs after a few weeks, it is still better. There will be complainers, like the guy above thinking lawbringer is strong, but even bad rework is better than nothing, most of us will be grateful. Like in the case of conqueror and berserker, most were grateful that they are no longer useless, what we don't like is how their problems were ignored for ten months now and left at the top (that is more time than what two humans need to create a third...).
And a great portion of your community likes your bad, ruined, underpowered heroes, they all hope that one day, they will be stronger. Making the shugoki and the lawbringer broken for a single month by overbuffing is better than leaving them to rot for five.

Peacekeeper is a perfect example of the ping pong effect. She went from being the objectively best character in the game to being the objectively worst character in the game, all because he “rework” was just a nerf in disguise by allowing her to use a limited amount of tools that should have come stock in her kit, without actually adding anything except now ALL your dagger cancels come from the top instead of any direction like shamans.
So I can understand why. Because imagine what we’ll have to hear if a f***ing lawbringer main gets a peacekeeper “rework”.
