off the top of my head boiler would probably become F tier, and people would “accidentally” crash out more often

Bodyblocking will always be more dangerous than xeno FF due to xenos having dramatically higher HP pools and no permanent injuries

Only green boiler gas would deal damage, orange should be fine, so it would encourage using more of that.
Damage of the rest of abilities is balanced around 200 HP marines, so it wouldn’t change much. One accidental slash isn’t much damage for a xeno. The only thing that would matter is if xeno is in crit and burning and somebody forgots to switch intent from harm to help and finishes them off. Other than that, no meaningfull change.

In all seriousness, FF wouldnt change TOO much, except being a huge praetorian, spitter and boiler debuff. 50% of the gameplay loop of xenos wouldnt be affected too much, especially backliners.

It would be for all the better. Now you can “"accidentally” PB the runner that bodyblocked a rav getting them killed. Nature would finally be in balance, and all would be good.
