We've found that Attack Speed & Attack Effect builds only need 3 key pieces of equipment to get their Attack Speed, Dama
What's more, we've adjusted the EXP requirements for levelling up in the early game and the EXP gained from Creeps, and made the Turtles more rewarding. This will hopefully lead to fiercer contention over the first Turtle.
Naturally, we're also rolling out balance changes to many of our heroes. We hope you'll enjoy the new version!
Escaping the enemy's vision is a unique part of Natalia's gameplay. However, the rules surrounding how this works were often difficult to understand, and enemies had a hard time countering it. With this round of adjustments, we're making it easier for Natalia to enter and maintain her Camouflage state for ganking. We're also increasing visibility of this for the enemy, in the hopes that both sides will have a more enjoyable experience.
Meanwhile, we're adjusting Natalia's damage calculations to make things easier to understand and more effective.
Assassin InstinctPassive
Removed Effect: Natalia conceals herself for 5s after remaining in the bush for 2s. She marks an enemy upon drawing close, increasing damage dealt from behind.
New Effect: Natalia camouflages herself after remaining in the bush for 1s. Taking damage will immediately end the Camouflage state. While she no longer marks enemies, she retains her Enhanced Basic Attacks for 1s after leaving the Camouflage state.
We're optimizing Alucard's damage ratios and making him perform better without the Ultimate.
PursuitPassive
Deals extra damage when hitting enemies with skills→Deals extra damage when hitting enemy heroes with skills. (Hitting Minions at the same time doesn't reduce his damage to heroes.)
Skill Damage Ratio Upon Hitting an Enemy Hero1.5x→1.3x
Enhanced Basic Attack's Damage Ratio1.2x→1.4x
Fission WaveUlt
New Effect: Gains 5%-15% Hybrid Lifesteal after unlocking the Ultimate.
Extra Hybrid Lifesteal Upon Casting the Ultimate28%-40%→15%-25%
Ixia was strong in mid-to-late-game teamfights, but it took too long for her to get a proper build running. That's why we're buffing her early game potential a bit.
Dual BeamS1
Damage125-225 + 60% Total Physical Attack→175-300 + 80% Total Physical Attack
Irithel was a bit weak without her Ultimate, so we reduced the cooldown time of her Ultimate while also reducing the duration of her Ultimate to balance things out.
Based on player feedback and performance data from the Official Server, we feel that the adjustments made in the previous patch did not meet our expectations. So we have decided to bring back the dash of her Ultimate.
Swan SongUlt
New Effect: Use again while her Ultimate is active to dash in the target direction.
Since Lylia's Ultimate can restore both her HP and Shadow Energy charges, it's hard to decide when to cast it. The question would be whether it makes sense to use her Ultimate to restore Energy when she is at full HP, or vice versa. That's why we decided to remove the Shadow Energy charge restoration effect and buff Gloom and Shadow Energy to make the gameplay simpler.
Angry GloomPassive
Gloom Flying Speed12→16+4
Shadow EnergyS2
Energy Charging Time9-9s→9.8-5s
Black ShoesUlt
Effect Removed: Restores all Shadow Energy charges.
With the Talent and equipment changes, it's easier for Ling to get extra Crit Chance. Our goal is for Ling to use or work toward stacking Crit Chance rather than focusing on Attack Speed.
It was too easy for Freya to keep spamming her Skil 2, which allowed her to nullify all Attack Speed Reduction effects, leaving enemies no way to counter her. And that was something we wanted to change.
It's quite terrible to be on the receiving end of Arlott's Ultimate, so we've decided to give his enemy more time to react by slightly increasing the cooldown time of his Ultimate.
Final SlashUlt
Cooldown20-16s→30-24s
Slightly increased the skill's foreswing time and added a warning effect.
Nana's early-game damage is too low, so we're adjusting her growth curve to make it easier to clear lanes and give her more things to do in the early and mid game. Though, we're also slightly reducing her damage in the late game.
Because of the long cooldown, Vexana can't use her skills and passive to quickly clear lanes in the early game, so we're adjusting the numbers of Deathly Grasp. To balance things out, we're tuning down the damage she gets from her Passive in the early game.
To emphasize Aldous' role as Exp Laner, we adjusted his Skill 1 to allow him to gain more Soul Steal stacks from Siege Minions, but lowered the damage increase from each Soul Steal stack to balance things out.
Contract: Soul StealS1
Stacks Gained from Siege Minion Kills4→10+6
Stacks Gained from Nearby Siege Minion Deaths2→5+3
Contract: Soul StealS1Damage Increase Per Stack6→5−1
We've slightly increased the damage of his Skill 2 based on each hero hit, but lowered the max number of bounces. (The damage on 3 hero hits remains the same.)
Ghost BurstersS2
Nether Energy Bounces on Hero Hits3→2−1
Magic Power Bonus72%→86%+14%
