Yeah, there are some reworks I was okay with. I might not have loved their implementation, but ultimately, I saw they were trying to address a problem, and the hero still somewhat resembled the hero.
But I do not understand what they were fixing about Gazlowe except to change his role for funsies because he already worked. Gazlowe is a completely different hero. There’s a reason why there are complaints about him and not D.Va, because ultimately D.Va still plays similarly and has the same role.
I could understand Whitemane because of the talent choices that were made. I can understand the hammer rework because people were staying out of siege form. I can understand Sylvannas because her trait was a little too impactful with certain objectives. I even understood when they changed RoboGaz the first time around to encourage team fighting and not mindless pushing.
But what was wrong with Gazlowe? Healthy talents with varied play styles? A unique engineer type fantasy? Oh noes, the horror!
Let’s make him box stuff? Because?!?
