Since my trust in the developers is already at 0, I don't pay much attention to balance, but overall, I don't prefer patch directions that make things feel frustrating or make things that used to work not work anymore. It's not that I prefer to feel slower just because I can't move as fast as my opponent.

The already poor netcode and low number of users mean I'm playing the game at high ping, so the difference between online and offline is severe, and adding to the frustration just makes the whole game feel laggy, which isn't pleasant. As always, there's the added anxiety that they'll just mess around with it haphazardly and then abandon it. If they showed even a willingness to actively provide feedback, I'd have expectations, but they've released it and haven't commented for 10 days.

Let's just leave the narrow but advantageous Sangbo at +1.

The Akira buff, which doesn't match their patch direction, and the maintenance of existing content are more incomprehensible than the Lau's efreet buff. I can't interpret it any other way.
