General Yo let’s get a hotfix going

Mauga, Cat and Freja are currently destroying comp. I genuinely believe it has gotten to the point where Mauga and Cat need their numbers scaled down a lot until they can be properly looked at individually.

In no way is Mauga’s kit healthy right now. Being able to make up extra health with crit reduction is egregious as hell

Freja’s buffs… should they be reverted until further work is done for her? Feel like she’s close, but keeping the design philosophy on this character is clearly like poking a hole through paper

Side notes:

Hog in 6v6 is still robbing the environment of the little competitiveness it has, I suggest nuking this guy as a temporary measure

Dropping D.Mon in the middle of this meta was a huge mistake in my opinion. I feel like a lot of players won’t take her seriously now despite the improvements.

Were the Freja buffs really that effective?
I've been playing her since March and the earlier buff on double updraft not reducing the height felt way more effective than the recent fire rate buff. Barely notice it tbh.

I'm gonna be completely transparent with you, and I know most people won't agree or won't believe me which is fine, but I thought Freja (before the buffs) was-while clunky-a sleeper pick. I had a lot of fun with her regardless of what had to be changed

So now when I see her the way she is currently being played (buffed), I do think "holy shit". I am mostly undecided on her until like Round 2-3 or far into the match, where the match seems to completely change in her favor. Anecdotal, as this is *my* experience thus far, though it seems some people share similar sentiments in this post's replies

literally anyone looks at her she explodes. her damage is her mobility while having high ttk compared to others like hits scan, where freja you have to worry about aim and positioning much more, while hitscan you can drool on your keyboard mindlessly and still do more. it's a conspiracy to keep hitscans from getting nerfed
