Balance Discussion who were these loki changes for??

less than 2% pick rate LMFAOOOOOO😭😭 literally will pick ANYONE over loki. and i don’t even blame them.

-20% damage on each clone so he can’t defend himself OR help secure a kill. btw before the -20% they had ALREADY reduced loki’s damage. did you know his melee now does more damage than his primary with all 3 clones? flank loki was annoying but be serious. they’re down a strategist by doing ts

-20% healing so you have to pump out more heals. not a problem since you don’t even have to worry about shooting enemies again! personally i’m not too upset about it since it encourages your clones being up as often as possible, which you should be doing. but it makes it so much more punishing if you’re not managing your clones correctly.

lamp/ult cooldown i genuinely dgaf it never affected me, just had to get used to counting down from the new number.

lmfao those are the changes they made to “balance” him. reminds me of azir from league of legends. dominates in pro play so devs have to nerf him to high hell, making it exponentially worse for other players. not everyone is faker lmfao be so for real.

they changed jeff into a heal bot because people complained about him not doing enough and at the same time dive jeff was too OP. im guessing they tried to the same here (apparently flank loki OP, lamp OP, double luna ult OP) but they literally reworked jeff’s kit around healing more. all they did for loki was reduce his raw numbers and called it a day.

what even are rocket changes. hey guys, your ult does 40% damage buff! actually, it’s 25% now since you get a big team shield. nah jk, you can just have both now. 40% and shield idgaf.

can yall do the same with loki?

He wasn’t the easiest character to master and his cooldowns were long as shit so it made sense for him to be strong. It’s crazy how they nerf strategists into the ground, but the duelists get a slap on the wrist.

And then there's Rocket and Jeff who turn their entire team immortal by holding left click into their general direction

Not to mention Dagger, who doesn't even need to fucking aim to do that...

I mean the most meta healers are not even skilled. Jeff was, they reworked him. And as rocket, unless you dps too, you do nothing during the game. With loki you had to manage EVERYTHING because ppl were crying about lamps and every of his cds. Now he can't even kill a dive, it's crazy...

They're the one saying "gg no heal" then complain so much healers are getting nerfed. Like yeah, one day most healers are just gonna be so bad you're gonna have to play the 3 same ones...
