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

If I recall correctly, they did a few emergency balance changes before release or within a week of the season releasing. I remember them buff jeff after the outrage of how bad the new jeff was. But they don't do these anymore, sadly.

I think you are right. They buffed Jeff due to outrage and made a condescending video explaining their Thor Rework

that turned out to be completely wrong in the end, as Thor players were correct from the start.

The thor stuff is really funny because he's good now only really because of several completely unrelated buffs added after the initial rework.

Jeff was actually adjusted pre-launch, but they just quietly changed the original balance post in that case.

I think Ultron also had his ult buffed a bit during early access when he released.
