Ok, it's been up for 5 minutes. Someone tell me how I should feel.

Edit:

Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.

Without knowing what these numbers are we really can't tell what's good until they release the 20/20 gem info.

Massive nerfs across the board 😅

Surely they've buffed underperforming skills just as much as they've nerfed, right?

Overperforming skills got massive nerfs. Underperformers left unchanged.

Nah those got nerfed too. Never saw anybody give grenades or Flameblast the time of day, somehow both made damn near unusable with cooldown changes.

And the only argument I see is "Wait til we see the supports", but like...even if there's a "-90% cooldown reduction, 50% less damage" support you'd still be suffering a major net loss in damage compared to previously as now you're wasting a link slot just to make the skill playable.

Unless the intention is making Flameblast exclusively a boss one shot skill, which is bullshit imo and incredibly lame design just like Bonk of the Gods.
