<br>In any competitive multiplayer game, the development team walks a razor-thin tightrope when attempting to balance the roster of playable characters.<br>
<br>This article revisits some of the most controversial balance decisions in the history of the genre and the chaos they caused.<br>
Unintended Consequences
<br>Perhaps the most infamous example of a balance change gone wrong involved a massive, multi-stat buff to a splash-damage unit.<br>
<br>The developers were eventually forced to release an emergency 'hotfix' patch outside of their normal schedule to completely revert the changes.<br>
The 'Emergency Hotfix' is the ultimate admission of failure by the devs.Sometimes, developers 'kill' a card intentionally.Even if a card's win rate is exactly 50%, if the community hates playing against it, the devs will usually nerf it.
The Unstoppable Clone
<br>The 'Night Witch' release is the textbook example; a unit that spawned flying swarms upon death while dealing massive melee damage.<br>
<br>Players who unlocked her early went on massive, undefeated win streaks, causing outrage among the free-to-play community who couldn't access the card yet.<br>
Community ReactionThe FixTanking the RatingsUsually forces immediate communication from the lead developer apologizing and promising a rapid hotfixRefusing to PlayThe most effective way to force a change, as it hurts the game's viewership and public image directly
The Impossible Task of Perfect Balance
<br>These controversial patches, while frustrating at the time, are part of the game's rich history.<br>
<br>They give the community something to complain about, bond over, and eventually laugh at.<br>
