Ying is not yet where we would like her to be in terms of presence and her Win Delta has decreased since the update Y4S4.3.

Added one Candela (4 Candelas in total).

Increased T-95 LSW damage to 46 (up from 43).

We usually compute it per map and per bomb site for more precision. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from OperatorвЂ™s Win Deltas per map. Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.

Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an operator.

We will provide DesignerвЂ™s Notes updates in advance of changes being deployed on the test server so our players can have more context and insight into the thought process behind the proposed changes, as opposed to when those changes go live with the next update.

We will provide context for which section(s) of our player base changes are targeting.

Please note that this is not feasible for every topic, but we will do it for the more critical topics (For example, JГ¤ger becoming 2/2). This will provide everyone with a common starting point for discussion.

We will improve our communication around balancing changes to include additional context and explanations for instances where we make a decision on an important topic and are in disagreement with our professional players.We would also like to outline how we plan to address the concerns raised over the recent changes, and our previous communication. We make decisions on the best course of action with their feedback, player feedback, and data in mind. We listen to pro feedback, but also monitor and gather data on every aspect of the game, their matches included.We have plans to adjust how we respond to the feedback they provide and explain situations where we make decisions that is contrary to their input, detailed below. We recognize the importance of providing these high-level players with input into our balancing process.That said, we have to balance their understanding of the game with the data we have that is more representative of the game as a whole before we reach decisions. Professional players have an incredible understanding of the intricacies of Siege and are able to see many things from that perspective that we may miss.Naturally, this can lead to resistance when we make changes, as it can be disruptive to a teams composition, strategy, and performance, while beneficial for others. Professional players are masters of the game, and place significant value on mastery of the game as it stands today.When it comes to the highest level of play, we find a few things to be true that we would like to share. We also have to consider the entire player-base, and while some aspects of professional play will trickle down to general matchmaking, not all do (Goyo for example). This does not mean we are going about things to be intentionally frustrating for these players, but instead make adjustments to ensure our professional players are the best at the game as a whole, and not a specific update or meta. It is true that part of our balancing efforts is to push every player, professionals included, out of their comfort zone.

We wanted to take a moment to clarify the intention behind this.

вЂњSo, if professional players are not happy with our proposed features, then that means we are going in the right direction.вЂќ Recently, an interview took place where we made the following statement:
