I was on the fence about opting in to this ditch day on the 29th. However, even before the balance update is rolled out, SG has put lie to their statement below:
And what hero makes clear that this statement is a complete falsehood? The newest hero, Hurricane.
At 875 power, he already has the massive stats that SG promised. However, I am not seeing any decreased focus on Special Skills. On the contrary, Hurricane has the highest damage of any hit-3 Average speed hero, and even exceeds many slow ones like c2Azlar and Khagan. Additionally, he has a pretty substantial DoT and a buff duration reset.
As such, I am no longer on the fence and am fully committed to staying offline for all of May 29th in support of this movement.
