What is the agenda about Big nerf balance?

[BobTheSnark]

Going to agree with @Eldente that the main purpose of the Big Imbalance Update isn’t the individual nerfs, which are almost a distraction really — it’s the systemic relative weakening of all older 5* and all 4* heroes

@BobTheSnark

Let’s not forget, amidst the hubbub of nerfs to individual heroes — which I’m not here looking to minimize, only to place in context — that the Big Imbalance Update is effectively nerfing every older 5* hero without costumes and every 4* by comparison, by handing out something like a “costume bonus” of stat boosts to modern (already big) heroes for free while trying to sell us the same stat boosts for older heroes in the guise of costumes that, increasingly, change little other than slight Special tweaks and really, stat boosts.

Free “costumes without costumes” boosts for new, already bigger heroes.

But ya gotta pay (or get really… “lucky”) to get costumes for older heroes, and those costumes often do little more than provide a bonus similar to the freebies the newer heroes are getting, never mind narrowing the gap at all.
