Change Notes

This update is focused around changes wrought in the last patch – mainly, the IS energy range quirk nerf and flamer buff, as well as some rebalancing around the Quickdraw, Blackjack, and assorted Clan buffs. It also takes into account general meta development over the last few weeks, as we’ve finally seen competition begin again in the form of MSI.
