That was a bombshell statement.
Kayak dropped a bomb on the broadcast.
Fortunately, we could make out the photo she displayed was a COVID self-test kit; if not, a new debate about Kayak’s virtue might have reignited in the community.
In Kayak’s room, there are plenty of viewers who harbor semi-romantic feelings for the streamer, known as the “lust crew.”
Even before revealing her face, the “lust crew” was quite plentiful, but after she showed her face, it skyrocketed beyond comparison.
Strangely enough, these viewers are sensitive about the personal lives, boyfriends, and virginity of the women.
That’s why posts about supposed evidence of Kayak’s boyfriend or boyfriend controversies pop up in the community every now and then.
[Is it something a woman would say, claiming to be pregnant? LOL]
[It’s fun, but why?]
[Is it okay for the host to broadcast while having COVID?]
[The lust crew can freak out; that’s a totally relatable joke.]
[I came rushing in, shocked by the title; if it’s about Kayak, totally upvote! LOL]
[Wow, I really thought she was pregnant.]
[Her pretending to rub her belly was such bad acting; it was hilarious, though….]
[So that means, you don’t have a boyfriend, right?]
“Yes, yes, I don’t have a boyfriend. I do have a husband who impregnated me, though. It’s Mr. COVID…. I’m not sure why you guys are so curious about my boyfriend status, but you can relax.”
Kayak said as she adjusted the camera angle again. The camera that had gone down to show her belly now turned back to face her, shining a light on her face.
[Sweet Lust Donor donated 1,000 won!]
-Look at that hoarse voice ㅠㅠ Shouldn’t you take it easy today?
“Sweet Lust Donor, thank you for the 1,000 won donation. My voice is a bit raspy, but I’m okay. There’s no real pain; it’s getting much better. But since you’re worried, I’ll keep it short today.”
[Virtual boyfriend is even worrying about her, LOL what a legend]
[Ugh, she says she’s going to end it early; don’t get all clingy!]
[For a hoarse voice, it’s not that annoying to listen to, right?]
[It sounds a bit husky, even sexier than before.]
[You go, girl! Your voice is giving off total girl crush vibes; I love it!]
[So even tough Kayak can catch COVID….]
[But while other people can barely speak, Kayak’s voice is just a little scratched up; she’s fine!]
[If you’re hurting, take it easy; it’s okay.]
[Wow, you’ve really been diligent lately, what’s going on?]
[For real, back in the day, I would’ve taken a 4-day break right away.]
[The 4-day break… exists!]
As Kayak sipped water beside me, she said,
“No matter how sick I get, I have to turn on the broadcast. I’m a pro.”
Normally, I would’ve thought it was just empty words, but considering she even confirmed she caught COVID, there was a strange sincerity in Kayak’s statement.
[Wow.]
[Kayak says, “I married broadcasting.”]
[True broadcaster, right? Some people take breaks just because they had a nosebleed while blowing their nose.]
[Honestly, no need to watch other female streamers, right? Kayak is working hard and looking cuter anyway!]
[In terms of dedication… simply the GOAT.]
[The Twitch Empress, Kayak.]
[A tycoon Isabel loves her streamer, Kayak!]
And so, after Kayak’s popularity surge, which had now become somewhat of a habit, passed…
[So, what are we doing today?]
[Teacher, have you not been playing Abyss lately?]
[Should we finally hit up some good old Abyss?]
[Did you see Camilla got heavily nerfed in the patch note?]
“Camilla got nerfed?”
What followed was a session of reading the patch notes for Abyss.
*
– Even while dancing, there are times you need to take a break.
[Camilla]
Q – The mobility boost from hitting enemies with Bat signal has been reduced, and damage has decreased.
W – The damage of Arabesque has been decreased, and cooldown time has increased.
E – The damage of Elevation has been decreased.
R – The damage reduction effect while casting the Dance of Death has increased.
· Attack Power – 70 >>> 66
◦ Camilla has shown a strong presence not just in solo ranked but also consistently in pro leagues. Despite having been nerfed once, her momentum hasn’t dwindled at all. Currently, Camilla, who was intended to be a highly mobile assassin Bruiser, is fulfilling every role within Abyss.
(abridged)
…
Thus, our Eonix balance team concludes that Camilla is too powerful. We’re making minor adjustments to her basic skills, excluding the ultimate, and changing some of her base stats to prevent her from gaining an unfair advantage in battles against other characters.
To prevent Camilla’s pick rate from dropping like before, R- slightly increased the beneficial effects received when using Death’s Dance. We hope that users continue to love Camilla even after the patch and look forward to her contributions on the battlefield of the Abyss.
Q – Batman Tangdui
– Additional movement speed 30/32.5/35/37.5/40% >>> 20/22.5/25/27.5/30%
– Damage…
“Wow….”
All I could do was marvel. I had thought this day would come eventually. It was somewhat expected since Camilla’s stats have been good in both the league and solo rank.
But isn’t this a bit much? Looking closely, it wasn’t just a typical nerf; it was like cutting off her arms and legs.
Well, they gave her a slight buff to her ultimate, but it feels like giving her crutches instead of legs. This isn’t the kind of adjustment that’s very satisfying. After all, Camilla isn’t an overly ultimate-dependent hero.
[They completely butchered her, lol]
[Is Eonix scared of Camilla’s growth?]
[Why doesn’t Lennok, a problematic champ, ever get nerfed when he frequently shows up in the league and has good solo rank stats?]
[It’s a theory that someone on the balance team is Lennok’s mom]
[She should’ve been nerfed, but this is a bit too much, lol]
[Kayak targeted patch, whoa]
[Did you piss off the balance team at Eonix?]
“Seriously, this patch is way too harsh on Camilla.”
It’s only been a day since the patch was implemented. But isn’t the patch mainly about champion adjustments for Camilla?
I thought she would be nerfed gradually, but I didn’t expect such a heavy hit.
[Toshenbal voices a 5000 won sponsorship!]
-Seeing how Snowflake Queen Camilla sold enough to get nerfed again, lol- I almost said.
[Whoa]
[Ugh]
[But that’s actually true, lol. Buffed during the skin release season and then nerfed after?]
[Eonix, you scoundrels!!]
[It’s adult business, lol]
[Eonix’s one-season commerce]
[Poor Camilla, ㅠㅠㅠ]
[This raises some reasonable suspicion]
“Definitely….”
It was a bit ironic that Camilla was buffed with the release of Snowflake Queen Camilla.
It’s inevitable that she gets nerfed now, but back then, the timing was so perfect that it raised suspicions that it was all intentional.
“It’s too perfect that it seems to have been intentional.”
I was nodding for a moment when suddenly…
<Oh Hong-kyun has donated 100,000 won!>
– “It’s a misunderstanding. The timing just happened to align. I’m not adjusting the balance just to sell skins.”
[Did Hongkyun see that? LOL]
[Director’s account in the chat, haha]
[Is Kayak monitoring because she’s worried about a riot after reading the patch? LOL]
[Hongkyun, what’s going on?]
[As expected, the clarification comes from Hongkyun.]
“Aha, yes. Just a joke, Director. I was going back and forth as a supporter and saw that the Eonix employees wouldn’t do something like that. Did I see the balance team? Umm… I haven’t really run into them.”
I continued to calm down Oh Hong-kyun and ban the excessive criticisms towards Eonix, doing a bit of traffic control.
“Well, it looks like today we’ll be playing Abyss. No, for the time being, it’s Abyss’s peak. I need to see how Camilla has changed through a few matches…”
Of course, even if she got heavily nerfed, I won’t abandon Camilla.
In the end, I, we will find the answer. As we always do.
*
[Wow, today’s broadcast is going on for a long time.]
[I just got off work and you’re still at it!]
[The research lab opened after a long time, haha!]
[The lights in the Camilla research lab never turn off.]
[No comments and just super focused, wow!]
Before I knew it, Kayak’s broadcast had breezed past 10 hours of uptime.
Unlike when she first started the broadcast, all that could be heard now was the in-game sound of playing Abyss.
As broadcasting time lengthens, it’s natural for streamers to talk less. After all, streamers are human too.
However, today it wasn’t that her energy was low; it was due to another reason that Kayak was speaking less.
She was experiencing firsthand the change in Camilla that had received significant nerfs.
And so, hours rolled on. After about 8 hours of pure Abyss gameplay, she muttered in a somewhat exhausted voice.
“…I can’t use this?”
