Reworks
Lead Game Designer, Brett Crawford, acknowledged the issues that Chromies long-ranged playstyle causes in-game: "We have always kind of had a problem making artillery Mages feel good in our game. There were times and, it was something that we thought players would enjoy, is that we spent a lot of time thinking about what Chromie would be if we just made her a Time Mage instead of an artillery Mage.  So we went through the thought process of, 'Can she slow down the entire Battlefield?' At the end of the day, there were so many people that love playing the long-range poke hero so we felt it would be a disservice to not go that route."
