WIP Balance Changes for June 2024 (Season 60)

I hope to clear up some misconceptions that people have. In game the Dagger Duchess’ hit speed is listed in units of seconds as 0.35 seconds and her charge time is listed as 1.2 seconds. A hit speed of 0.35 seconds translates to 2.857 dagger hits every second. This however is not the number listed as her current hits per second in the post that I’m responding to but rather 0.606 hits per second. This number must therefore be referring to her hits per second starting at the moment that her charge bar fully depletes which equates to 1.650 seconds which is close to the in game listed charge time of 1.2 seconds plus the in game listed time that a charged dagger gets thrown of 0.35 seconds.

As far as what the effects of the rework would be, throwing 8 reworked charged daggers would do 896 damage and her dps when she runs out of daggers would be 89.6 damage per second.

The nerf would have her throwing 6 charged daggers that would do 918 damage and her damage per second would be 92.718 damage per second.

Based on the numbers I have to work with it appears that the rework is slightly more of a nerf than the dagger reduction option but the difference between the two is very small. I encourage everyone to vote for the option that they like more while knowing that both options have basically the same in game effect.
