Battleborn hotfix includes another round of balancing to Alani

Gearbox Software said its recent adjustment to Alani's health brought her "survivability down" to what the team felt was acceptable. At the same time, her Kill-to-Assist ratio "continued to be an outlier" for a support class.

With today's hotfix, the team is reducing the damage of her Torrent primary attack, Riptide and Mutation. They are also reducing the distance of her Torrent projectiles travel.

Other notable changes in the hotfix include reduces to the character selection time in PvP and stacking sprint speed bonus of the Go-Go Juice Legendary gear.

• Reduced the damage of Alani's Riptide by 55% (75 to 42 at Level 1).
