To be fair, they wouldn't need to make a whole forum post clarifying how GG's damage works and everything if they had just said "20% of his max health" from the beginning or even put it in the description of his kit. I know they said "based" and that confused me for a while, but after seeing the test footage I assumed that they must have really meant max health = damage dealt. Some up-front clarification about what "based on" means or, again, a stipulation in his kit to clarify, would have gone a long way to avoid people feeling misled when his damage output was more lackluster in practice.

The term" based on" means they use that as a base for the calculation.

take the example of rent. the price is based on 2 people sharing the room. meaning you take the base price and divide it by 2, getting what you should pay.

if this was as other have expressed, the price being based on 2 people sharing the same space would be to pay double rent for 2 people sharing the same space.

his damage is based on his max health, you take his max health and multiply by 20% to get the damage. this % could have been anything and is likely picked to keep a balance to his damage as his health stacks, but also giving decent damage if you max him out for health in every way.

OK, I understand that based uses his Max Health as the base for the calculations, but his kit doesn't not read 20%, so assumedly you would think without any indicators otherwise that the kit would literally mean "based on 60K health" not "damage equal to 20% of 60K"

We got videos from CG of GG hitting for 50K-60K against Revan teams, but now we're seeing under 40k for GG's with 70K health after mods.

The text should be "dealing damage equal to 20% of his max health" not this vague misleading "based on" with no evidence of anything less than 100% of his max health.
