Unless I'm very wrong with my math, it's straight up nerf to Monstro HP if it absorbs 2 minion waves and nerf to its DPS after just a single wave. Soo.... I'm not sure what they were aiming for here.
Hey there!
We're updating our patch notes with developer comments now to clear this up, but there was a bug fix to Monstrosity where it wasn't scaling properly. Now that we've fixed the bug, we're also adjusting the balance for this bug fix.
After the last Nerf to Abathur, it definitely sucks to get notes without comments when you guys said you'd specifically be making changes to him to make up for it. Any reason you folks don't always give developer notes? A lot of changes in the past just look like people making changes for a hidden reason or because they felt like it.
Also I don't see Abathur's winrate be anywhere near other problem heroes in all ranks of play, in fact I see the opposite in hotslogs. Why the recent focus on nerfing Abathur?
We try to have developer comments whenever we think that a change could use them to clarify our reasoning, if it isn't something matter of fact.
We had planned to have them for this Monstrosity change, but the the holidays messed up our timing a bit (so we're adding them late).
