FFA Deathmatch Rebalance Patch Notes:
Code: EZHTD

https://workshop.codes/EZHTD

These are the patch notes for my workshop mode of a FFA Deathmatch rebalance.
Overall aims included:

  • Prevent kiting.
  • Maintain as many hero kits and elements as closely as possible.
  • Reduce self healing.
  • Reduce playstyle with too much sustain.
  • Reduce hard counters as much as possible

I have been working on this since Kanezaka released on and off and finally feel like I have gotten every hero to a place I am happy with.
