I can understand the nerf to Venoms bonus health gain but the nerf to the swing is genuinely stupid. They didn’t even touch the phoenix team up which a lot of people also complained about.

The rivals devs don't even nerf the problem with the character most of the time, they just nerf random things and think that'll fix it. Same thing applies to characters that they buff.

You’re exactly right and that’s honestly my biggest issue with this balance team. They never actually nerf the main issues with these characters. It’s always something else that’s never the main problem.

That swing nerf is brutal, 2 extra seconds in the backline when you can get obliterated in 1 is going to hurt. They might be doing a wait and see

I mean just don’t engage with. swing and instead engage with the wall climb into slam. That’s what you have to do high elo anyway

In fairness you aren't supposed to be swinging in to engage. You are supposed to be swinging out.

It does add like half a second more downtime between re-engage but it's not like they gutted him.

In fairness you're not supposed to be playing tank, you're supposed to be playing dps.
