Thor changes
We received a lot of feedback regarding the Thor changes, especially from our Chinese community, in that this change can be seen as a nerf. We totally agree with the suggestion from the CN region to bring back the mode switch on the Thor while keeping the current, stronger numbers for the single target mode. We will make this change in the test map asap.
We also do see the feedback that the current damage buff is not enough. If this is the case, we can continue moving in small steps to continue tweaking it up as needed.
Immortal Barrier change
This seems to be a solid change. Because it only affects the such short duration of the ability being up, we believe this is a solid targeted change to help reduce the effectiveness of Immortals slightly per pro player feedback.
Colossus change
As expected, this one looks to be a fairly small increase in Colossus effectiveness. Because our main goal with this change is to help out non pro players slightly, while having it be a small change at the pro level, we believe we can make this move as a first step and see how it goes.
Liberator change
We definitely agree with many players in that the change may have been slightly too much, so we would like to go from 4 +3light to 5+2light in tomorrow's update in order to test a softer version of this change.
Cyclone changes
This change looks to be solid at the moment, and we can start publically testing this in the next version as well.
Swarm Host changes
We saw a lot of mixed feedback for these changes, but our thought is that we should go forward with a change here to locate how the current role of the unit is. However, we do agree that we should move in smaller steps, so instead of reducing the cost to 150/75 in one go, we wanted to test changing it to 150/100 in tomorrow's test map.
Overall, the direction of the changes appears to be good, so let’s work on fine tuning the specific numbers so that we can aim for an update to the test map as early as tomorrow, and attempt to make a balance update to the live game towards the end of this month. Thank you.
