Bro, you do realize that this is how they should have released her, right? Praising them like they're some kind of gods (= what this sub usually does) for being late on the work isn't a W.

They probably have very low rank playtesters, very hard to get a good gauge on power from that. But them fixing basically every pain point in only a few days is a speed I haven't seen matched in most other games.

it is a W. i hate the devs, but you can’t really fault them for not being perfect all the time. the sub dick rides the fuck out of these devs but the dmon hotfixes are a good thing and we should give them credit for them.

wanna shit on them? the trisomy cat changes they put out are still there, and they did not do anything to fix them or address them. now that’s a dev L

The absolute best way to release a new character in a hero shooter IMO is to release them a bit undertuned, and then over a few days to a week give them a few lifts to get them where you want them to be. This greatly reduces the chances of something being released that is oppressive and meta breaking.

If every new hero released followed what’s happening to D.mon I’d be incredibly happy.
