              Killjoy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Killjoy’s Turret is a versatile ability that provides information, chip damage, and a powerful
              slow. While manageable during mid to later rounds, the Turret can be especially oppressive on pistol rounds down longer sightlines, where the tagging intensity combined with weapon
              spread makes it challenging to press forward. These changes aim to slightly tone down the
              Turret’s ability to impede rushes and give opponents more counterplay options.<\/p>\n

                Raze<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                The Boom Bots’ ability to clear space, spot, and track opponents, as well as one-shot enemies with Light Shields, left you with limited options on how to counterplay-especially during low economy rounds. So, we’re trading off reduced damage output for an ability cost reduction in order to introduce more Boom Bot counterplay options. This should also increase the frequency that Raze mains can use Boom Bot to create space.<\/p>\n
