I believe dev team is still interested in pursuing some sort of stage effect for ink (ex. reducing inkling's friction) which should be taken into consideration before a major redesign/rebalance. Unfortunately I don't have details for you, but for sure stats changes would be difficult to evaluate atm. We will probably try to get back to this after the next beta releases?

Nice, I was curious if something like that was still on the table to be explored. I'll wait for that then, o7
