We have to admit there were some mistakes not trusting ourselves as much as we should have due to lackluster initial reception of Etienne (except for you die hard Etienne fans, who we greatly appreciate). He was quickly buffed in the very next update before giving users time to settle and find out just how to use a hero who played so differently and after the resurgence in play with the ETn skin. While we still feel that those changes rather nicely sorted out quality of life issues and we took more time to avoid ping ponging him around, he clearly reigns far too supreme and needs some nerf stick. Rather than removing any of those usability changes we have decided to trim down the power of his very dominant UCAV ability. — Update notes
