Your feedback both in the Steam community forums, and in reviews, has been invaluable! Thank you for sharing them so candidly and constructively. Happy to report that the hotfix is now live for you to enjoy and experiment with. A lot of these changes are a direct result of your suggestions. These are by no means the final word on balancing and fixes. We're very much keeping our ear to the ground and seeing how the new meta shakes out. The next update is designed to be a much more involved balance pass, but that doesn't mean additional hotfixes won't be considered should the need arise sooner!
