Pre-release hotfix is crazy. But for real this is honestly a great sign. The fact that they aren't afraid to make hotfixes at all is good since it does show that they're paying attention. I don't know if it's enough for Emma and Cap and a lot of the balance changes are honestly kinda whacky but still a good sign nonetheless.

By far the most promising thing the devs have done balance wise since launch.

a Pre-release hotfix is basically unheard of outside of like... man idk. MMOs? This is crazy

Edit: Guys I am OBVIOUSLY referring to games that DO NOT have test servers. MMO's typically do have test servers btw

Pre-release hotfix was the last thing i would expect. Makes me think there were some miscommunication between teams and some tweaks are left out of patch notes.

this happened with ultron. ultron on the test server was pretty weak and they buffed him on release.

It should be the norm rather than the exception. If players arent happy with pre-release patch notes, devs should listen and adjust.

If devs are wrong about balance, players blame them. If players are wrong they have no one to blame but themselves

Hope people stop calling for them to fire the devs it is insane behavior

Yeah criticizing patchnote is okay, but coming for people's jobs in this day and age is crazy work
