Yikes , Gela . Some women just want to watch the world burn . I think Varian is one of those heroes that do not necessarily need flat buffs or nerfs to overall win %, but changes . Which is no different from other heroes that for the most part were in a good place on release , like Auriel we liked her when she came out , but some talents were rightfully brought up or down a little . I predict a baseline Charge buff and Warbringer nerf in the case of Varian . Maybe buffs to his tank spec , but I wouldn ' t be surprised if those came a patch later . I suspect his tank build is the sleeper of the three specs , and will take longer for people to abuse it . Don ' t know if that will be enough , but you can hold me to my word that pro players will find a way to really abuse it . There is something almost disturbing in the way Taunt works and I want to see where that goes . I seriously expect Varian ' s winrate to only go upwards . Picking him up is easy I suspect people will learn to play with a Varian teammate rather quickly . As such , toning down Warbringer , the most prosperous 4 talent , will no doubt take him down a little , but I expect it will level out as the hero makes gradual gains in performance .
