A developers point of view on the balancing and design of heroes in Epic 7.

00:00 - 00:05 So I told the rest of the dev team, bring the patch notes here

00:05 - 00:07 Hurry up, the community wants balance changes.

00:07 - 00:10 This weeks patch notes are balance adjustments

00:10 - 00:16 Good changes to underused heroes. Melissa, Cecilia, and of course our tenth buff to Tenebria.

00:17 - 00:21 Then I read the changes to Khawazu.

00:21 - 00:24 Khawazu.

00:29 - 00:31 Khawazu.

00:31 - 00:34 One turn defense break on a 100 speed hero.

00:38 - 00:40 Khawazu

00:41 - 00:47 I was trying to ignore that hero, so we could remove him when people forgot about him.

00:47 - 00:50 So when I picked up the patch notes and read he was on there

00:50 - 00:56 I was suprised he was still in the game.

00:58 - 00:59 The epic pass

00:59 - 01:01 The community complained, but the rewards are still shit

01:04 - 01:06 Our game was almost sub 3.0

01:06 - 01:08 Google doesnt even promote it anymore

01:13 - 01:14 Khawazu.

01:14 - 01:16 Just take a look at Tenha's list of problems.

01:16 - 01:20 Its reaching almost 100 community complaints.

01:21 - 01:27 I put it up on my wall, and it touches the floor.

01:34 - 01:37 I pretend to write down notes on issues when we do community streams.

01:37 - 01:39 Like we dont already know.

01:41 - 01:44 But really, we're trying to make good changes.

01:44 - 01:49 We're removing pet snacks.

01:47 - 01:49 If you have any leftovers, well

01:49 - 01:53 Trade them in for friendship points.

01:54 - 01:56 Get more fodder.

01:56 - 01:58 That you didn't need.

01:58 - 02:02 Sometimes ill browse reddit to see what the community thinks.

02:05 - 02:07 Khawazu.

02:09 - 02:10 Pavel-

02:10 - 02:13 Pavel, our newest hero-

02:14 - 02:15 When I first saw his kit

02:15 - 02:20 I thought he was a four star.

02:21 - 02:28 Sure, lets release an aoe hero in this Elbris Meta, Charles is waiting

02:29 - 02:30 Charles didnt get changes?

02:30 - 02:32 Charles is still the same.

02:36 - 02:39 These posts saying Pavel is good are great

02:40 - 02:43 thier Pavel with 4k attack and 275% crit damage.

02:50 - 02:55 A pure DPS unit with multipliers like that.

02:56 - 02:58 What if you +15 him?

02:58 - 03:04 Of course, any unit with whale gear and +15 will do good.

03:04 - 03:09 Might as well use an actual good unit at that point, like Yufine.

03:09 - 03:11 Bless these players defending every unit with whale gear.

03:16 - 03:20 You're thinking about ML Twyin, aren't you?

03:23 - 03:26 Now theres a unit I want to see them defend.
