Look, I feel like I have to say this every month, but it’s impossible to create a perfect tier list, especially for a game with as many heroes as DH has. No matter what you do somebody will be unhappy with the placement of something.
Some people have their favorites that they love despite being not the best in the game meta-wise, which is totally cool, my motto is to use whoever you want even if they’re not “the best”, it’s way funner that way anyways. Truth is you can make like 95% of the heroes in this game work and do great things with them. Also Balanced is NOT bad heroes, I consider everything Balanced and up to be the “meta,” (ok maybe not the meta, but definitely the GOOD heroes). Even the Decent tier is usable/good in many situations
In my biased opinion, I’m thrilled to see Nick move up to Balanced, I was unsure of it personally because I know all he’s good for is the skill power boost so I was like ehhh I guess that’s pretty Decent.
