I know you probably get inundated with tons of replies and that's probably a pain to deal with, and you might never ever even see this comment, but I've put some thought into this so I figured I might as well try just throwing the idea out there.

What I'm thinking is to change it so that if the Lifeline is knocked while a DOC res is still in progress, the res gets cancelled. It's a simple change, but it would make it so that it would be more viable to push against a knock on a team with a Lifeline (who is still up) cause you wouldn't need to divide your attention between the res and the rest of the team. As long as you're able to successfully focus down the Lifeline on your push, the res is no longer a concern. It still remains a powerful and useful ability, the change just slightly nudges the needle to give a bit more of an advantage to a team pushing a knock/res against a Lifeline.

I hope you might at least give some consideration to the idea, and thank you ...

True his gas turned out to be very powerful yes. But instead of chasing damage deltas back 'n' forth I have a hypothesis given I've been playing since the game released.

His balance needs to be around setting up defense in an area. Being able to shoot his cans while inflating to get rid of them is a HUGE nerf. Previously, it enabled him a little mobile protection in the open or when Rez'ing teammates.

High level players weren't afraid of Caustic gas (Before his buff) because they would just run straight through to take only around 9 damage. After his buff it was apparent that the values were too high enabling "Ult-Apeing" which is also negative for balance.

Suggestion is: (a starting 7 damage for 1st gas with no increase in damage over time) and then additional gases will have the (incremental change up to 3) damage per tick.

• This would make Caustic less oppressive when Ult-ing.
• Pushing a 2 gas canister Caustic would be a HARD pushback...

Glad i found this, This makes more sense to me. Ive played caustic since launch basicly as my number 1 since season 0 (since then i try to play around 5 different legends consistantly) and that makes alot more sence than "gas oppressive, Caustics cant aim, caustic doesnt belong in the game". If its very clear that change is needed but whats ready is too big a swing would it be until season 9 until we see a revert or would it be something fixable sooner? Additonaly how else are you learning about caustics kit and weaknesses beyond his win/pick rates?

I personally believe adding a small cooldown like to Gibby’s gun shield is the right move. Her passive requires active interaction and as it has no cooldown, it has infinite potential for spam. If it had a cooldown of, say, 3 or 6 seconds from the time the rez is finished, it would still keep her combat medic utility, while preventing spam.

Daniel, would you consider giving her old revive back and then buffing her ultimate in return?
It still fits the combat medic idea, she has faster, protected revives, but she can't abuse it to win fights. Then you could try seomthing like the carepackage ltm where based on what ring is the tier level of loot? Where later rings give very high tier items such as heirloom guns and sheilds etc... And then reduce the cooldown to something like 4 minutes to 5 minutes. That would definitely shift the power of lifeline in a way that makes her balanced.

Seriously though please remove it from Wattson, she doesn't need it at all and it makes feeling playing her unfair when she is taking more limb damage etc.

You're the balance guy, do you have any explanation for why caustic went from taking away a planned buff in Fright Night to nerfing caustic to oblivion? Any explanation other than you listened to ttv shits?

Just another little qol since we're talking about pings. When a teammate pings "theres an enemy over there", you can hover over where they pinged and use your ping button to say "roger" or to generally confirm that you acknowledge them. A ping wheel still comes up but only has one line in it being you acknowledge the ping. Could you guys add a "dont fire on them yet" kinda dialogue, would be pretty useful in many types of situations

Surely Horizon could have Low Profile on her until your permanent change for her tactical is ready?

It was done to Pathfinder, where Low-Profile hit, then a bunch of nerfs/changes to balance him came out before removing Low-Profile.

Amazing work so far so dont take it as hard as it may sound.. If horizon has the best winrate why she only got a small. Nerf to the ult then? Why doesnt she have low profile over the likes of lifeline/wattson Edit:just seen it was the only nerf ready for this patch Nvm then but take a look to remove low profile from other non-mobile legends maybe nerfing kits Cheers wish every game had such comms and devs

Question about the Horizon nerf.

It seems that it's been decided that her main issue is her ultimate (which is getting a nerf). Does the data show this is the needed change? From what I've seen, most players complaining about Horizon have an issue with her tactical above all else. The ability to gain instant verticality, pop a battery, then land anywhere around the player seems to be too much every 15 seconds. Is there anything being looked into her regarding her tactical?

why was horizon ult nerf instead of tactical.all it takes is 0.81 seconds to be destroyed and she will still be called op due to her tactical

Originally posted by dontangrycomment

What about having the damage you do to his arm shield count towards your evo damage? For some reason I thought that was in the talks to.

Originally posted by Lazy_Sans

I was just wondering, is there any specific reason for removing "fast heal" attribute from Gibby tactical?

I don't think it was too OP and a nice bonus for cooperation.

What are your thoughts on giving Revenant Fortified? He has a larger hitbox and very little mobility, so being slowed by bullets makes it quite easy for him to be melted during combat. I understand he’s likely in a “healthy” spot balance-wise, but what currently makes him popular has “...to be nerfed” written all over it.
