Omega Strikers - December 15th Micropatch | Update Notes
Hey gang!
So let me start this out with a quick note: Sonii was pretty clumsy the other day and accidentally flew into some power lines on the way to the office, so we won't have a video for you all while she recovers... NONETHELESS, we've got a quick Micropatch for you all today with a couple little tweaks for your favorite characters. Not a HUGE change list, but we're tweaking a couple characters and awakenings so you'll want to check it out ANYWAY!!
Okay. Let us begin!
[h2]Strikers[/h2]
[h3]Asher[/h3]
The buff lady needs a buff because recently the buff lady was not so buff.
[h3]Finii[/h3]
We hit this brat with some damage nerfs a couple patches ago, so now she's a little weak. She'll get some correction in terms of a buff in a different aspect.
[h3]Juno[/h3]
Juno strong. All around. Strong. Blob goal. This help.
[h3]Kazan[/h3]
Following his mini-rework type beat, we observed he landed pretty much where we wanted, but his numbers looked strong, most notably at higher skill levels. He was also giga brawling a lot.
[h3]Luna[/h3]
Luna is pretty strong and manages to get goals or KOs from fishing for frequent across-map B.O.O.S.Ts.
[h3]Mako[/h3]
Makos were using Drum and Base as an instant era-like buff which was pretty strong (and in this community manager's opinion, CRINGE). We're adjusting that to change the behavior but buffing her primary to compensate.
[h3]Rune[/h3]
Rune was STRONG. We made him LESS STRONG. But it might've been a little too LESS STRONG. This should help balance him out a touch.
[h3]X[/h3]
He's strong, but not that popular (based on Pick rate. In the world, he's definitely stupid popular I mean look at him.) This nerf will help bring him back to a nice even state.
BELL RINGER [PRIMARY]
BULL RUSH [SECONDARY]
[h2] GEAR AND AWAKENINGS[/h2]
I wanted Rapid Fire again. What are you gonna do about it, punk?
[h3]Demolitionist[/h3]
Demolitionist was just straight up pretty strong.
[h3]Fight or Flight[/h3]
Wake up babe new Slick Kicks 2 just dropped.
[h3]Reverberation[/h3]
Reverberation wasn't at its peak performance, now it is. Hopefully.
[h3]Specialized Training[/h3]
Specialized Training? More like Unspecialized Training. Hey Siri what's the opposite of specialized
[h3]Stagger Swagger[/h3]
Stag Swag was too strong at higher elos, but too weak at lower elos.
