Character balance changes
Major balance changes:

-
We’re better sizing hitboxes to character gear & model

Since these adjustments have a MAJOR impact on the game, we want to make sure there aren’t any major bugs, so we didn’t want to rush them out

If these adjustments prove to be insufficient, we’ll consider additional adjustments during Season 1
