So, I was thinking about how Javelin was released, and how it took a month to make changes to her.
So, do you know how the mercs will be when they are first released, and release them with changes already being worked on? Or do you only start looking at changes after the merc is released and in the game?

its called Beta for a reason
also they said the telemetry stuff going to measure which to buff and which dont need a buff
After really slow balance update, it’s hard not to believe they wanna push out all new shiny merc, and then fix the meta.
This year was flooding with new content, compared to 2016, and all they gotta do is clean up this mess.
afaik (or can say) they are released internally for testing then talked about in forums and discord, then released for PTS to evaluate, then dumped on the monkeys to break, then they get re-evaluated and modded to cheese off the reddit ragers, then released for everyone to call OP
Mercs will be more balanced when noobs and crybabies will be able to play on the PTS.
SD once said they release stuff perhaps slightly OP and then proceed to gradual and slow nerfs to see how things iron out. Its less time consuming than buffing this continually and still not getting the right taste.
