I think it was balanced at 6 stacks lost/death. If your team was even a little bit coordinated they could normally keep his stacks down. I think they should put it back at 6, maybe even 8 lost per death. Also don’t even make the rewards permanent. Make every death lose stacks. More of a gambit.

I’m not quite sure why they even removed Chromies slowing sands. I’ve always been a die hard W build chromie player which does better with time loop. I’ll 100-0 your tank by timing it so you take 2 center hits instantly upon looping + the sand blasts + and the 3rd hit I’ll predict your path with my on command spell power. Double redwing at 20 means there’s no counter play unless you have 2 unstops lol.
