silent nerf 

When the developers of a game do not include a change to the game in the changelogs, usually to "nerf" or decrease the effectiveness of an ingame mechanic or item. This is done to avoid angering the community, but generally ends up doing the opposite.

The devs silent nerfed the pyro, how am I meant to play now?
