Why are they still buffing the Ogryn?

@Ddkiller

Ogryn is already the strongest

Well, duh

Seriously though, they have at least nerfed taunt. Rumbler not so much, unfortunately – it’s now even better?

@ReylomorelikeReyno

dunno, I think losing our toughness addition nodes sucks pretty hard

+50 toughness baseline, so only missing 15 toughness and 5% TDR:

@FatsharkQuickpaw

• Stat Nodes Removed
  Dev Note: Most stat nodes have been removed. We’ve added back some Toughness to the Ogryn’s Base Toughness. We have increased the value of Keep Shooting and Dominate to make up for the lost Rending and Reload Speed.
  • 25 Toughness
  • 25 Toughness
  • 15 Toughness
  • 5% Toughness Damage Reduction
  • 5% Rending
  • 5% Reload Speed
  • 10% Melee Damage
  • 10% Ranged Damage
  • Base Toughness increased from 75 → 125.

Anyways I think the real question is how are they going to adjust the overall game balance now that they have pushed the baseline of player power up across the board. And I’m not so cynical that I don’t think this will happen.
