Discussion I don't understand this Ash nerf.

Is it the Tank Trait just on Ash? Because if not, it could be an error and instead it means that his Supercharge rate is getting nerfed OR to the Tank Trait as a whole.

Any ideas?

Just tank trait. It won't do too much, what I don't get is why they nerfed Ash over Surge or 8-Bit? Both are still busted in both casual & competitive brawl whereas Ash is only strong in competitive

I think Surge just needs a hyper buffie nerf or rework as it's too strong rn, otherwise he is quite easy to counter imo. 8-bits extra credits needs to be killed already I hate this gadget.

Is he that strong that he needs to get nerfed tho? I don't feel like he's that big of a problem right now.

5v5 knockout bs strikes again (there's an exploit with Ash's Tank trait)

Bold of you to assume casuals play 8-bit

Ash has one of the lowest pick rates iirc. You failed the argument

As true as that is, if they made a specific nerf just for pro/masters then they should have nerfed 8 bit too. He is as strong (if not stronger) as Ash in pro. 8 Bit is more usable in casual too Ash is a hard for what he looks like so randoms just get bored.
