“The Paladin was severely lacking damaging abilities in the early game, very often forcing him into a support or tanking role. Shuffling out niche support abilities further down in rarity and bringing up some damaging abilities to more common rarities should help the Paladin feel like a more powerful contender earlier.”

“The Assassin’s rare and epic abilities felt underwhelming compared to other heroes’ equivalent tier abilities. These changes and slight reworks should strengthen the underperforming abilities.”
