This… could be a best-case-scenario interpretation, and I’d agree that putting even some brakes on the exponential power rush overall would be a good sign.
But I also have concerns
-
These heroes seem to me less like a slowing increase and more like a step back; other seasonal portals have had, even recently, arguably more useful heroes (e.g. Ginger, Miss Ethel, etc) than the current portal.
-
It would be a greater divide between bigger spenders and smaller/non spenders if EHT-accessible heroes — already usually significantly less powerful than more “premium” heroes — got a more systematic downgrade while the more expensive heroes continued to get runaway power rush
- It was less than a week ago that the latest imbalance update gave freebies to Toon costumes and constructs and owls amongst others, so unless something has changed in the last few days, I’m a little concerned that actual game balance is nowhere near a concern for SG/Zynga/etc.
