Stat squish confirmed: How will unsynced old content be handled?

[Hycinthus]

Not quite.

It'll be more like

Level 50 - HP 100, Damage 10
Level 60 - HP 125, Damage 12
Level 70 - HP 155, Damage 15

as opposed to the current

Level 50 - HP 100, Damage 10
Level 60 - HP 200, Damage 20
Level 70 - HP 400, Damage 40

If the problem was HP was getting too large and text too long and causing bugs, why are they doing the squish in this way? Why not just a solid across the board eliminate 3 zero decimal points? Or did I misunderstand what the issue was?
