Changing all areas of the hitbox above the bottom of the balloon to be counted as balloon hitbox.
This would have 2 main effects
- Reducing the height of the spires armor component making it harder to hit at longer ranges
- Removing the easier of the two sweet spots where hades, banshee etc can hit both balloon and armor with the same shot
It would be somewhat counter intuitive but not unprecedented and anyone who understands how hit markers work would pick up the change fairly fast.
Shaving a bit off the bottom of the spires hull hitbox could also be worthwhile.
