There seems to be some "work in progress". Yesterday many of the things mentioned in the (upcoming?) balance pass seems to have been released but today some of them seem to be revoked. For example, yesterday Steel Curtain used to get back on his feet after a knockdown in 1-2 rounds, today he rolls on the ground for the usual 5+ rounds after getting the cute critical. The bleeding damage vs. defensive gladiators is certainly reduced but the protection provided by the heavy armour seems to be flapping. My bet is that Nate is doing a live test.
