@HeartQueen Torvald is gonna get a point tank rework, the slight changes were just to test if he would be healthier in a nerfed wrecker environment. Obviously it's just fundamentally flawed so they nerfed it so he isn't broken while they rework him. A rework takes as much time as a whole new champ so it'll take a while since their roadmap for 2020 was already set.

Skye was done dirty tho. She just needed a dmg nerf on the talent if anything, but Hirez are cowards.

@Dusklicious Frozen Guard is probably just getting an overhaul like Frog Isle, making it look like an actual vibrant Ice Castle map as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT2nJeUNTfA&t=2m56s

Timber Mill will be fixed soon tho.

I don't get the drastic damage Grohk changes. The buffs you proposed won't really make him broken. Although I do think that he would need even more to be viable. I think the two healing talents should be put together in a balanced way so that you don't loose the ability to heal flanks. Plus, then we get tank Grohk back with Wraith.

Rampant Blooming is such an unnecessary talent tbh. If anything he should gain a third source of healing like Ying. For example, hits with the Crippling Throw could heal allies close to the enemy that got hit by it. But then again you run the risk of deathball meta when it's a good talent.

@Super-Kami He's still good I think. Cauterize just was way too cheap, you could get level 3 in 3 minutes. He's still getting buffs in PTS updates so he's gonna be fine.

Ash
[Live] Fixed an issue where Shoulder Bash could hit Players standing behind Ash.

Thank you so much. This is a huge buff to Ash. This happens to other dashes like Maeve too though.

Grover
Fixed an issue where Vine saw enemy Players as valid pull targets.

How was this a bug? It should honestly be in his kit since that was way more reliable and it fits his playstyle of being close to allies.

@Goldentoad100 Yeah, he's okay as he is but just a bad support now. They even could increase the dmg dropoff since it was supposed to scale off from 200 instead of 180. They could easily buff what you said, buff Direct Current or Nullify, put his two shield talents into one, give him a better mobility card, remove Vital Grasp since it doesn't work and voila: Point tank!

Also am I the only one that likes the healing output nerf? It's been OP in theory if no one buys cauterize. You almost never even fully get to use the healing since caut is always first picked.

I would rewrite that Evie bit. It was moreso that the game would become overwhelming to deal with hypermobility with 10 Evie's flying around even on PC. So there might still come good mobility similar to Evie, Maeve and Koga.

Edit: Skye also wouldn't want to be reworked, but rather buffed/power shifted. They don't want to take away beloved playstyles, but make the champions more diverse

Other stuff to note from the stream:

• A long section about Strix, why he's picked so much in PPL and why he's so good recently. Kresnik brought up that the stealth "nerf" (according to Adanas) is throwing people off and making it harder to hit him without fast rate shooting. The 2400 UU burst being too much and the feel of being shot without seeing him was mentioned. For nerfs the pistol is being looked at since it has the highest dps in the game.

• Ways to nerf Lian Eminence, for example, making the width of the Presence the same as the left click.

• Cassie not being nerfed with a lockout in her Q ability since it feels bad to play. Makes sense, she never needed it before. She and Lian are supposed to excel at long range so they might be made weaker against flanks. They're there to prevent deathball meta if I got that right.

• Every champion will get something: The list is god damn huge. Took them about 10s just to scroll through the supports section. This is balance that will give everyone something like new cards and longer durations on effects like personal shields. Something everyone can get excited about for their main.

• Tank shields will be killable without Wrecker more easily while also still being a good defensive too that doesn't evaporate in seconds with Wrecker. Goats is also going to be prevented. This will change a lot to find the right spot.
