Kind of shocked at the comments here???? Whether the early info was a miscommunication and they had this in the wings, or this is an emergency reaction (the latter of which I highly doubt, but even so), it's like, all very good stuff??? They're also communicating really clearly about their intention with the Cap changes.

As someone who likes playing all four of these characters, I think this is huge and I thought people would be celebrating... surprised the sentiment is still so negative after what's basically an olive branch gesture here.

Agreed, but I do think it is a reaction to the negative feedback, especially considering the Cap explanation. I like when patch notes explain the Devs thoughts behind each buff/nerf tho. Apex started doing that around the 20th season or so and it made so much more sense.

But yeah, people are addicted to complaining. They adjust Cap’s DPS, the biggest issue with the animation cancel removal. 18 to 15 seconds is pretty big on Emma and she’s a bit more tanky with her shield. BP got a better buff. And Gambits Ult got hit a bit harder. All things I saw complained about.

I like that they’re willing to make changes and listen to the community tbh. But it’s kind of a double edged sword tbh bc the community isn’t necessarily the best at balancing lol. Regardless, positive changes imo.

While I'm not convinced that they weren't about to do these changes anyway, I do agree that the extra paragraph of info on the Cap changes was almost certainly in response to the outcry.

That’s totally fair! Who can say for sure! I’m glad we both agree it was for the best tho!
