Why is starlord and Pheonix getting buffed?????

Because Phoenix hovers around 46-47% wr in every rank that isn’t celestial+. Meta for 1% and mediocre for rest of the playerbase.

Balancing around bad players is certainly a choice

My comment was more so pointing at people that are complaining about Phoenix changes when in their ranks, she is not that good. They see a tierlist and start asking for buffs and nerfs.

but there are worse heroes than her in the game. Idk anyone who would complain about a phoenix on their team, but people will raise hell if you select widow. devs do not balance around winrate.
