Why nerf Baxia and Belerick?

lufasa

I don't get it. You guys don't ever nerf heroes that need to be nerfed but would gladly nerf heroes like Baxia and Belerick that no one uses. What's the logic behind this? They are tank heroes. Tanks aren't strong picks and no one even wants to tank in the first place. So why nerf tanks? This would just discourage tank usage. How is this fair? Shouldn't all hero classes be equal? Then why such hard nerfs on two good tanks?

Truth be told...Baxia wasn't really that op to need a nerf..I can't say you're not wrong with this:

So you guys literally nerfed a hero that already no one was playing.

I don't know maybe on other regions or servers he is played a lot but I haven't seen him much and when I did, he wasn't a threat at all...so yeah he's nerf wasn't necessary in my opinion..but i don't know i just think there's a plan behind every change made so..let's see how it goes..

Agree on you.
Baxia and Belerick is so innocent to get nerf that bad.
Moonton sure out of their mind.

I think you're wrong, people do use tank heroes, me included. And they are very strong picks, no tank no win.You have low chances to win a match with all squishy heroes and no tank..
I will disagree with you about Belerick. I get from your post that you don't play tank and maybe you haven't seen a good Belerick untill now. After his revamp, he became really good.
But. I would have to agree only with the first part of your post, I also don't think they need a nerf and that there are other heroes more op. I hope this won't discourage tank mains..
Oh and, as a simple info..Most of the ranked matches I played this season it happened that first pick would pick ... tank. Yeah..khufra or grock or even estes(as support) if he wasn't banned. Tanks are very strong picks and they carry the team by supporting and tanking for the team. It's a fact..I don't think anyone would disagree with this..

Baxia is number 1 pick in higher rank division(mythical glory and above). That is why baxia has been nerfed. IF you want to know more, just look at the top global ranking of baxia players. They all are 1k+ points. About belerick, he is very strong in early game after the revamp. Although i think he did not need any nerf. Just my personal opinion. Thanks for your valuable feedback.

I am not denying that people use tanks. Someone has to do it after all. I am just saying that tanks are not voluntarily preferred. Sure some people would gladly tank but most people don't really want to. That's why you always see everyone crying "We need a tank" during a match.

And yes Belerick became a strong pick after his revamp but I dont think that justifies a nerf on him when clearly there are other heroes that desperately need to be nerfed.

As for Baxia, I think he's been hit way too hard with the nerf hammer. His passive and his ultimate got such hard nerfs. I bought him the day he was released and I thought "yeah he might be cool and fun but he's clearly useless with his skills". Then the devs made adjustments to his skills  and bang he was so much more useful. But then you struck him with nerfs? Why?
Why make him useless again?

Lol no man. The number 1 pick would always be Franco. As far as hero rankings go, Franco is the most picked tank in high elo. By those standards, Baxia has never stood anywhere near in terms of pick rate. I don't know how much baxia was picked before he was nerfed but currently his popularity is less than 1%. Even from personal experience, he never gets banned or picked. So you guys literally nerfed a hero that already no one was playing.

And then, next nerfed hero :
1. Hylos. Can kill any lv 1 heroes in MLBB with his second skill.
2. Grock. Can kill any lv 1 heroes with his first skill and execute.
3. Franco. Can kill any lv 1 heroes with first skill and flicker.
Let see

It depends on the region...that's why I said on my region I haven't seen Baxia much...other tanks are more picked than him..And never seen him banned..And yes I'm talking about high rank, where I saw bans like Estes, Wanwan, Helcurt...but never Baxia...I think Baxia was decent and fine the way he was, he didn't need any nerf. This is just my opinion, from my experience.

Looks like everyone agrees with my opinion. Baxia should be buffed back to his former state. I have already submitted my suggestion to in game CS. Let's see what happens now.
