Balance Info?

Umm why didnt we get information on the balance changes? :frowning: its more important to me and many others than anything else

Wait till the 19th i guess…

maybe there aren’t any for tomorrow.

maybe that’s a good thing.

No they’ve said they have balance changes ready to go

Community updates are a great source of information (and dietary fiber).

They talk about some of the changes, not specifically, but some of what they are addressing is on the news article about colony further down in the article where they have a Q&A section.

They explicitly said that they will nerf jackrabbit by increasing cost (blue and yellow) reduce their dps against marine. And increase the heal time on drone.
basically they want the JR to be a scout.

Nothing on freaking locust tho… nor on SM annoying displacement ability. Finger crossed!

Im scared that they are going to make locusts even more ridiculous with the colony buff on locusts they can do. Without some sort of change to the locusts… they are going to be silly when this leader drops.

I highly doubt that locust will remain untouched. By nerfing JR, kinsano literally received a HUGE nerf to her early game (which she is all about). If locust remain boss, then banish will have the upper hand mid and late game now. We shall wait and see!

Here is the thing about getting balance note changes before it drops. We can practice a build that coincides with this update and not with the current meta. So when the drop does come we will be prepared. But the said nothing… So yeah.

The patch is already set in stone. Theres no reason for them not to tell us what’s in it. Ied like to know what is changing before it actually changes so i dont waiste time once it drops

Idk why games do this, hiding the notes. I know for titanfall 2 they released patches, didn’t say what they were. I liked knowing what was changing. Then again, let’s all be honest. Everyone and their mother is going to be playing as Colony on Wednesday. I like 2v2 and 3v3 deathmatch, will be 3 Colony vs 3 Colony lol

Reading can be hard.

HW2 Upcoming Balance Changes - Preview (April 17)

I think that’s an alright nerf to the locusts, will stop people from complaining but if you use the unit properly seems to barely touch it
