It does mean the 70% crit isn't the problem. They are 100% getting a price nerf, they are going back to a similar price as before.
You guys really don't need to be theorycrafting a unit 24/7 on this forum that you don't even know how the stats will be next week.
Obviously they want JLI to be more accessible and an alternative to standard volks spam. Depending on price that might not be an accepted change.
They can't be super accessible and have a 70% crit. They would still be good units and an option with it lowered. Also, when is the last time a unit got ONLY a price nerf? They will apply each and every suggested route to nerf then and then forget about them assuming they follow the trend.
We know the stats NOW and that's why we are here... That's the whole point of this forum. What we have now. And the next patch might not be for 6 months for all we know, that is more or less the patch cycle and JLI are fairly game breaking at this time. Players are upset about it, so hopefully all those players that jumped in when the game was free don't jump out while we wait for a patch and stagnate the numbers again.
