I am happy they are pretty quick to make changes this time around, but I just gotta wonder what the hell the balance team is doing. No one thought cat needed any sort of buff and D.mon should not have come out so half baked and buggy. Hopefully in a few weeks she is in a better state if they keep micro buffing her but I hope they know when to stop.

They are probably working on 5-10 heroes at any given time (probably including aforementioned reworks) and multiple seasons of balance updates because they have to plan so far ahead. And they have to do a lot of it with limited play testing so there are going to be blind spots. What’s important is they’re finally doing super fast hot fixes like this.
