How to nerf Khitans?

I think we need to wait a bit longer to collect more game results. However, based on what I’ve gathered so far (partial post-patch data), the balance doesn’t look too bad, with win rates around 50% - 52% in Solo and Teamgames:

RM 1V1 Bracket Played Games Winrate 95 % CI (Wald)
ALL 10 802 51.16 % ± 0.94 %
< 800 1 147 51.39 % ± 2.88 %
800 – 1200 4 412 49.91 % ± 1.47 %
1200 – 1800 4 654 52.39 % ± 1.42 %
1800+ 588 50.33 % ± 4.00 %
RM TG Bracket Played Games Winrate 95 % CI (Wald)
ALL 16 510 51.56 % ± 0.75 %
< 800 1 388 50.21 % ± 2.61 %
800 – 1200 8 545 51.43 % ± 1.05 %
1200+ 6 527 52.07 % ± 1.19 %

But really, take these numbers with a grain of salt. 588 games played at semi-pro or pro levels aren’t enough to draw strong conclusions. Also, players are still adapting to the new pastures.

In summary, Khitans seem strong but are no longer overpowered.
