Hello all! The SB will be nerfed in 1.10, as you may have already heard. The downgrade won't be critical. The champion will still be great for Clan Bosses, as well as for Dungeons. You will find out more very soon.

I though about this a bit and I have a question:

The complaint is that Steel Bowyer is only blue but is as strong or stronger than purple or yellow heroes so why not just upgrade her to purple and be done with it? Everybody who already has her lucked out and she will be appropriate for her rarity.

Edit: Also making her great for Dungeons would require her to be buffed since she isn't particularly good there now.

Hey all. I found a good workaround for those still upset about the Steel Bowyer nerf. It's very easy, and has upped my gaming enjoyment. It can do the same for you! This nerf won't even be an issue.

STEP 1: Uninstall Raid

STEP 2: Install Elune

Done!

So do we have any idea when this will happen along with the other rebalancing of heros?

We have been asked to wait a while now and the latest update which this was supposed to be happening (if not accurate it certainly was the implications of posts made too decalre these 2 items) with has been out for a while with no comminication yet.

So SB is being Nerfed and Not rebalanced? I assume most people would assume Nerfed means to makes the hero useless in this context.

Hopefully this is just a misworded post

thanks, i will definitely try it

Lol, nice.

But seriously, I saw a video of Steel Bowyer doing 600k with her cooldown skill.  Come on people, that is insane.  For you to be upset about them nerfing that is completely unreasonable.  The big question is HOW MUCH are they going to nerf it, like to a reasonable extent, or are they going to bury Steel Bowyer in a shallow grave like they did to Pain Keeper.

Speaking of Pain Keeper, I finally got two other healers recently, Vrask and Steelskull, both of which blow her out the water.  Such a shame they destroyed her.  She was one of the very, very few void champions that were actually viable.  No idea what their selling point is now with void shards, absolutely no idea. 

Give info what will be changed in character. It's disrespectful to the players. More than a month the hero is in the warehouse, because it is not clear what will happen to him next. And the hero spent time, resources, books, which are always not enough

Hello, everyone!

Some of you may have already seen the Champion that goes by the name of Steel Bowyer - she is a new Dark Elf Champion of the Force Affinity, we had her available as a mid-tier Event reward not too long ago.

Unfortunately, we noticed a number of issues with her performance recently. Steel Bowyer was always meant to be a powerful Rare Champion, however, when it comes to Clan Boss, she is outperforming too many Epic and Legendary Champions that should be performing the same role as her. This is not something that she was intended to do despite the initial goal when she was being created.

As such, we will be adjusting her damage output as soon as we are able. While we will do our best to keep her a viable Champion, she will not be able to pull of things she can right now with the Clan Boss.

All those leveling her right now, please pause until these adjustments come through. At the moment, I have no information apart from the fact she will be changed - not even how she will be changed - and will do what I can to keep you guys apprised.

Further information will be posted here as an update. Please accept our apologies for the situation and keep your ear to the ground, I will be getting back to you later.

I asked them via Twitter. They said they can't give this info ahead of 1.10 but they will release it "very soon™" .. sigh :(

Please @Plarium. Why couldn't you tell us what is going to happen?

The nerf is going to happen anyway, so there is no difference in telling us now or letting us wait. The upside is, that players can plan ahead, maybe unstrip her artifacts or put her into another role. The downside is players will get more and more pissed.

The shitstorm will happen anyway and players who want to quit because of this won't change their mind with 1.10..

You are the best! This is your rebalance? Instead three attacks to leave one. Pulled out of the players books, other resources and destroyed the hero without any compensation. Pure fraud and a slap in the face to the players. F you, plarium, with that attitude. And do not tell tales about "didn't know that the hero will get strong." 18 books, pile of poop, paint and trips to the Minotaur, the energy spent, all went nowhere

ITS THERE!!!

3rd skill have now only ONE attack! = 1/3 dmg than before :D

I want my resources back, she is useless now ;(

On top of that neither you nor I know exactly what Steel Bowyer will be like after the changes. As I've mentioned in my original post, we want to keep her a viable Champion.
