Elemental Builder is Borderline Unplayable
As the title says, elemental builder is basically unplayable since the recent "balance" patch. I don't understand the logic behind nerfing elemental builder so hard in the first place, since I never really thought it was a very OP builder, but I can see why maybe Earth God and Thunder God specifically might have been nerfed.

But nope, instead it seems like absolutely everthing for elemental builder is just worse now, including waterbenders, water elementals, and water gods, which you might remember are the elemental builder's t1 towers - you know, the ones you're supposed to use to get past early game?
Waterbenders in particular are just worthless now. I have no idea who decided to nerf them this hard, or if there was an error with the numbers, but they are actually so bad that 2 waterbenders cannot beat THE FIRST WAVE.

The patch notes say that elemental builder has been buffed since the atrocious balance patch from a few days ago, but I don't see it. As far as I can tell the only thing actually buffed are water warriors, but they cost too much to have by wave 2 when you actually need them. Oh, but don't worry, the human builder's t1 towers and their upgrades got buffed! That was truly the buff that we were truly clamoring for! Humans with their 900hp, 8 armor, 14 damage block ultra-tanks truly needed that extra push in the early game! Elemental builder, though? Nope, they don't need good t1 towers. In fact, elemental builder basically doesn't have any tank towers anymore considering Earth Gods are total ♥♥♥♥ now.

tl;dr revert the changes to elemental builder - they were completely unnecessary in the first place
