Recently, in Forsaken, a game on the popular platform Roblox, received an update, which included a nerf of already weak character Elliot, the one burst healer in the game. This nerf makes it seemingly impossible to play as Elliot, drives people away from playing the game, and makes it much harder for characters to survive a chase without the main healers burst healing.

Aspects of Elliot’s nerf include:

-His heal no longer being a burst, but rather progressive healing that can be interrupted by damage.

-His one getaway skill, Rush Hour, having a longer cooldown and slowing you down after use.

Elliot is already has the lowest health out of any character in the game. His skills, especially Rush Hour, being nerfed takes away the only things that made up for him having low health.

With these new debuffs, Elliot has now become even less playable compared to before. With killers targeting Elliots in game and not being able to heal himself, these debuffs basically ruin chance of survival if someone playing as Elliot is being chased.

If this nerf stays in place, many players will leave the game, especially Elliot players. People online are already claiming they will not play unless these debuffs are taken away. When Elliot players leave the game, there will be no healers. Without healers, other players leave the game due to not being able to survive. If we can fix this now, we can stop players from leaving, and make the game more enjoyable to play as a healer.
