Horzion has officially passed Wraith in winrate. This means Horzion is definitely gonna get the Wraith/Pathfinder treatment. Thoughts?

It’s safe to say she’ll be getting nerfed, but how we do that is important. I’m adamant about not gutting her kit; the synergy between her passive and tactical is awesome. Looking at her tactical alone there are all sorts of dials we can turn including vertical lift speed, horizontal speed/acceleration, ejection speed/time, cool down, weapon accuracy, and the list goes on. You name it we got it, but some changes are easier to tweak, test, and iterate on than others. It’s a work in progress but staying true to her design intent and how it feels to play as her is something at the forefront of our balancing conversations.

I also feel it’s important to point out that Wraith and now Horizon are neck and neck in regards to encounter win rate; both are head and shoulders above everyone else. I’m happy that Wraith finally has some company, and there was a deliberate goal to have Horizon release strong given the track record of legends getting introduced to the game as underpowered. For the long-term health of the game, it’s important to bring the outliers in as long as we aren’t gutting them. That’s not fair or fun for people who create strong bonds to certain legends or play styles.
