Why Guardian is the HARDEST Item to Balance in Paladins!

Описание: Guardian has had a tough time since its debut back in 2021. It's been a D tier item for most of its existence due to its poor scaling while being the same price as Wrecker. However, in Season 7, the devs are attempting to buff this item, and the results on the PTS were devastating to say the least! Guardian was instantly turned into an S tier item overnight, with effects that extend far past the surface level and make this item better than anyone thought. In this video, AndrewChicken explains the fickle balance of Guardian and why this item (and shields as a whole) are so hard to balance in Paladins!
