If you give nix a single lift and make it not movable, it'll be destroyed quickly. The other army will focus it down quickly and then you're done. The changes to Nix are rough already. It's usable, but only after level 5, and even then you need to put some health upgrades on it to make it worth while. Nix cannot feed (effectively) by itself, which makes it the ONLY hero where this is the case. Even with the auto-attack changes, Mando out-feeds Nix by something like 5x.
I'm not necessarily opposed to its feeding options, but the reduction in grav-beam AOE is what makes it trash. It is an anti-hero/support unit and it cannot support. If you want to make it better, then increase the AOE of the grav-beam lift back to where it was (army support role), and increase the heroic dmg to something usable (anti-hero role).
This way it can support your army while focusing down heroes, but cannot rampage-feed by itself.
HKs are countered effectively then, as well as Odin, but Nixes aren't rampaging across the map.
