The Baller may not be as controversial as the Stormwing was in Fortnite, but it’s still not a vehicle that everyone can agree on, especially those playing competitively as you can sit in the thing for the entirety of the match.
After promising to deploy a change for 8.30 that would make it possible to shoot drivers even if a Baller was at full health, Epic walked that back and decided to re-evaluate how to better balance the Baller.
As part of a hotfix, the health of the Baller has been nerfed from 300 to 200, which is a loss of a third. That’s pretty significant: it’s now the same as a normal player’s health with shields applied.
From the official update:
“We deployed a hotfix reducing the health of The Baller from 300 to 200.
In the 8.20 patch notes, we said we would add the ability to shoot through the glass of Ballers in a future update. We’ve played with shooting through glass and it didn’t feel like the right solution.”
What do you think of the change? Step in the right direction?
