We strive to keep our fighters as balanced as possible. We look at metrics such as win rate, pick rate, winning team composition, average kills per game, and other factors. across skill tiers. Our goal is to make sure each fighter offers a different strategic playstyle, not a more powerful playstyle. We will adjust fighter balance in pursuit of healthy game balance when we see fit.
