Dust and Ironheart Rebalance

So no changes for either. Fine. But typically that means we get a buff/tune up for another character. Is that just not happening now? Where’s the communication Kabam?

An offensive dust tune up would’ve been cool but as the owner of an r2 she doesn’t really need it. I love mine and she can do rol fights in 45-50s consistently. Granted this is with cides on, but take them off and she can do the same thing to bg sized healthpools. Definitely not bad for someone who’s pretty annoying on defense.
What's ticking me off however is the "we're also happy with what we're seeing from her as a defender"... Where on Earth are they getting this data from the depths of Bronze 3?
After this, I'm not even gonna hold on my breath on Sable, they obviously want mid to be mid, they don't care.
like to see what data they’re going off of because it seems to be a load of nonsense
Additionally, Ironheart is not meant to be a defender ... hence why her defensive performance is checking all the right marks currently. That tidbit didn't mean that she was nuking through players on Defense at lower tiers.
In such a complex game, this doesn't always initially hit the mark... that's where the rebalance program comes into effect.
The balance team reviews data from the live server to conclude whether the Champion is performing at or around their expected output in various categories & then determines if they will remain the same - or be tuned up or down.
They must be getting all the data from the Bronze squad I guess, that would explain a lot of things.
I'm not arguing that part, she's definitely not meant to be a defender. I was just curious as to how exactly data is showing she can even be a defender at all? I haven't faced a single Ironheart in Diamond and above since her release because she's pretty bad, you also play BGs and you're not the typical average player Mike so I'm sure you would agree nobody is dying to Ironhearts in Diamond and above. My argument here is that analyzing how well a champ works in Bronze 1 and Mysterium 1 at the same time makes absolutely no sense. She'll hit all the marks in Bronze 1 where time and health rarely matters cause those leagues are full of average (if not below average) players but she absolutely won't in Mysterium 1 where the real competition is at and where only meta champs matter for the most part.
