You can got to be kidding me. Could you kindly stop nerfing the heroes I use for gauntlet on a daily basis??? Though my rage is somewhat abated by MK.2 being in the crate so I can waste all my gold desperately trying to unlock him. ---

Could you please stop ruining the work that takes us to build a hero to his maximum power, and now you are coming to ruin it, you know how difficult it is to take a hero to 100% and then the developers come to ruin the job ---

But the triangle changes color from yellow to blue! I declare this is _more_ than lighting! ✊😤 @TH3F4TH3R heroes get changed often if they are in need of balancing. Changing the details of heroes helps keeps the meta flowing, so the adjustment logs are probably my favorite part of update posts. ---

You will find heroes which have been nerfed still retaining their utility. Mandrake was nerfed several times, and is still used in effective team comps, same for Marianas. ---

I would say that might be a reasonable thing to request if we ruined a Hero to the point where they can’t be played anymore, but that’s far from the case. Matador is still a force. So is Mandrake, despite all of the adjustments he’s received. Your investment remains intact, and viable. It’s just not an instant win button like it was before. ---
