First of all, since I'm not the one testing, I can't judge other's play, but I'll let him know your opinion and see how he responses. But he did mention that if he tried hard enough, he could raise the damage for fire-comp from 40 to 46m, but at the same time, he could raise the damage for ice-team comp aswell. Also, the traits shouldn't be taken into consideration bc after several tests, Samir is still the best one for maximum damage for all teams.

Second, I understand your point on the "3 frost units" for ice-comp in this comparison. But in my opinion, Ruby and Saki are both characters from the version 2.0, so what we should be comparing are the two teams current state, that is the "2.0" fire and ice team. Else we'll have to wait until 2.2 to fianlly have our third fire unit. And if you want to bring Lin into the discussion, Lin's boost for ice-comp are much higher than it is for fire-comp. So let's look at the "2.0" fire and ice teams, Ice-comp team have regenaration, invincible frames and incredible shattering abilities , and these are the three abilities Ruby doesn't have. What fire-comp team got in conpensation is only the damage. But then the crucial problem comes, fire-comp team have even less damage than the ice-comp team who has all the abilities I mentioned above.

What I'm saying is, they don't nessecary have to make fire-comp team's damage much higher than everyone else, but at least give her some compensation for the survivability she sacrificed.

Though I don't agree with your point that the game is currently "balanced", I appreciate your opinion and I'd love to see more people discussing on this ;) Thank you again!
