EA Staff (Retired)Ok I’ll be the bad guy. Yes some buffs and nerfs were needed. The obvious ones. But for god sake! Fix the mechanics and inconsistencies in the game before you go changing characters. This game can not be balanced to its fullest potential until that happens. Some have been made, yes, great! But there is a ways to go. Pirates and cacti are strong, should they not be? I don’t even play them that much but I don’t have a hard time dealing with them. They should be high skill high reward charcters. Pirate certainly has the upper hand with the barrel as a close range one shot.
My point is... fix all of the hiccups in mechanics (as reasonably possible) before you change all of the characters. I’m not disagreeing with the changes made, some are great. But I think the priorities are a bit off.

@dwooten77I think there are other changes included the patch that are not listed here. When I logged into the game this morning there was a news item about the patch which listed some changes aside from character balancing, such as changes to matchmaking, challenges, etc.
Good news, and thanks for sharing that.
To be honest, I really want to see performance/aiming/movement issues addressed above all else, especially the serious issues that some of my fellow PC users are having where they can't even play at all or only for short bursts. I look forward to seeing the complete patch notes.
