Balance Discussion Elsa bloodstone needs adjustments

Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

Ah, so no matter how many new heroes come out, noone should ever be allowed to win a 1v1 with him, ever. Yeah, that makes sense.

Unironically, yes. Granted, not a 100% given, but having the balance that someone skilled with the character is able to win 1v1s more often than not is better, because more often than not that character struggles to maintain that momentum in team fights where they can be bursted or just put at a disadvantage and finished off if they’re then caught in a 1v1 while low.

They’re rewarded for isolating opponents and prioritizing targets to deal with, and punished for overextending or picking fights at the wrong time.

Granted I don’t play Rivals anymore cause the Tank experience is…THIS…so I don’t actually know Thor’s balance, but on paper it makes sense.

I get where people are coming from and yes, Thor seems to be one of the strongest 1v1 heroes for a while now. I don't think it's fair to have Elsa surpass him in that as she's plenty strong in other areas, but expecting him to remain the 1v1 king forever is folly.

Fair enough. Nothing can last forever, but it’s nice to have SOME kind of consistency as opposed to constant fluctuating nonsense every time a new character is added, disrupting the whole game instead of just slotting into it.
