[BasherBenDawg]

Odachi having an actual health bar is quite nice.

Gammond is still quite useless to an extent but he’s a 3 star tank so it’s expected.
He can deal some damage at least, but his healing is a bit low still.
Hes more tanky now but otherwise useless. Seeing kill shot with actual damage is nice though.
• I do suggest that kill shot should regenerate 50% of its charge per hit instead of 30%.
• I also suggest reducing the time his healing ability is active, in exchange for reducing the charging time for it.
• I suggest allowing Gammond to charge his healing ability while it’s active.
• Finally I suggest lowering his reload further to 2.0 seconds and possibly improving his ammo count by 2-3 bullets. it’s quite an ineffective weapon in most settings.

Annnd Spewage,
it’s really nice to see he hasn’t been forgotten. Even though he already had one buff, this is still not enough. I propose a few changes to make him a sought after hero for players to get.
(I do have to add, the 25% crit chance boost is a very welcome addition, and improves his capabilities to a viable damage dealing standard.)
Possible changes to improve Spewages performance
1: Make the “Nano Toxins” effect from the Bronze active ability uncleanseable. (Don’t know how possible this is, but I’ve seen effects be added and taken away from abilities during the HH days, so I don’t know if y’all know how to do it as well.)
2: Lower his reload, it’s a bit long and has its fair share of painful moments where you tend to loose the reload quite a lot since you’re reloading more often than you’re firing with this hero. (Very possible to implement)
3: Perhaps grant spewage the ability to healblock enemies effected by his “Nano Toxins” effect from his bronze ability, would make him much more potent at taking out targets. (Don’t know how possible this is, but I’ve seen effects be added and taken away from abilities during the HH days, so I don’t know if y’all know how to do it as well.)
4: Change the bonuses of Spewages Mythical skin “Aspid” to be less Bio-Chem damage based, and instead more health and critical damage based. It will allow him to be more potent as those effects help him much more than any others. (This change should be very possible, as many mythic skins have had their bonuses changed in a previous update not too long ago.)
5: Lower the casting speed of the “Nano Toxins” active ability. It’s just long enough to be slightly detrimental to helping him get back to the fight and fulfilling his role. (Very possible)

Suggestions for the future with Spewage;
These are likely harder to implement, so consider them a bit of a reach in terms of suggestions. They are mostly additions or drastic changes.
• lower the amount of damage spewage does to himself when using the Silver active ability, but increase the damage output. Currently he deals the same amount of damage to himself as his enemies, but this rarely pays off, even when paired with the bonus damage from his bronze. • Perhaps increase the damage done to enemies up to 25% of his maximum HP, but only deal 10% of his maximum HP as damage to himself. This suggestion might be harder to implement.
• If you ever find out how to change his or any heroes ruby ability, Spewage desperately needs a different one. The Tactician ruby ability does not fit him well. He has fast ability charge rates, so it practically provides no bonus to him in most matches. He could really use the doing damage ability, or even the executioner ability. He is a 7 star hero after all, so perhaps that rare ruby ability would fit him well.
• Perhaps the ability to heal for a percentage of the damage done by Nano Toxins would make him a more potent hero. This bonus could possibly be added to the platinum bonus effect he gains during matches.

Thank you for your time Deca, if you did indeed take the time to read my suggestions. Have a wonderful day and thank you for improving upon one of my favorite heroes, just hoping he could be a bit more viable in the current Meta of the game where most of the other Deca made heroes are far superior to him, and thus more sought after.
