This is an initial batch of balance adjustments, mainly numerical tweaks to balance to achieve a better player-felt balance for the experiences that players find tilting in the areas of the game that matter to them. This balance tweak is a direct result of the Q1 2022 Mini-Survey we held with over 150 verified player feedback forms submitted. We will hold further surveys once these balance changes have acclimated and base the next batch of balance changes on that. Do note that although we understand players feel strongly about their own Points of View, we also have to consider a multitude of factors above what a single or even most players will see. We balance the game for the entire leveling experience and not just max level PvP, is one consideration, and we also balance for group PvP on top of 1v1s. I've written a lot of Development Logs over the years, some of which describe some of the considerations that go into balancing the game. We also have to consider future gameplay expansions and code changes that are intended that will affect the balance in the future. That being said, we are attempting to make the game feel more balance on the end user perspective for the majority of players as well.

First of all , I asked for debuff med jutsu to remove poison/bleeding and also a Aoe for the only fact it is bored enough to play around 2 heal jutsu if I play around those two which is easily cancelable now , i'll die from boreness , the buff heal was not needed and so the cast time increase too , like cotelette said , it gives us no other choice to be a med at the backline .

Any good player will cancel the cast 100% of the time. Much better just charging chakra to get cell regen back faster and land that with the range.

Rory really said "support players should die"

The best part of treat wounds being a 1 second cast time was that i could go into fights and look to heal instead of playing that boring role of just sitting back and letting my team do all the work and run to me when they needed a heal. I liked that i could go in if someone was getting chidori into a combo i could run up heal and save some of their hp. I know that was probably annoying when i did it but i think a better solution would be to nerf the heals. I would rather have a heavy nerf on heals then the cooldown now im reduce to playing that boring medic role were i sit in the back lines ALL THE TIME and wait for someone to come to me. I do play in the backlines sometimes depending on the situation but you should never camp back lines in every single fight. Though with this change i might have to stat reset and have way less hp and give more chakra to give me more heals for cell regen to make up for the fact i cant run in when i need to. Rory: "It was always intended to be a utility jutsu used out of combat for low level players. " I get that but thats what pills are for, im playing the game mostly for pvp healing low levels isnt much content for me even though i do it sometimes. Heavily reduce the healing for the 1 sec cast time
