We're making adjustments to some heroes based on Ranked and MPL match data since the last patch in our continued efforts to provide a balanced match experience.

~AdjustedWe're happy to see Mathilda back in action, but she was buffed a bit too much, so we're nerfing some aspects of her Ultimate to make her easier to counter.
Guiding WindS2Duration of Ally's Movement Speed Boost2.5s→2s−0.5s
Circling EagleUltWisp Damage60-70→40 at all levels
Cooldown30s→40s+10s
Base Shield600-900→400-600
~AdjustedSlightly reduced the range and speed of the second dash.
Now that Rafaela has Slow Immunity, her Movement Speed bonus seems too hard to counter.
Holy HealingS2Movement Speed and Slow Immunity Duration1.5s→1s−0.5s
~AdjustedCompared to other "backline Supports", Angela can benefit more from equipment with Magic Bonuses because she can attach to teammates to avoid taking damage. So we're nerfing the Magic Bonuses for her skills.
Love WavesS1Magic Bonus90%→75%−15%
HeartguardUltShield1200-2000 + 200%-400% Magic Power→1000-1600 + 200%-300% Magic Power
~AdjustedDecreased Ixia's mid-late game damage potential.
~AdjustedWe reduced Wanwan's dash speed in the last few patches to make it easier for her opponents. However, since we increased the cooldown of her control removal ability, the dash speed nerf seemed unnecessary. So we're reverting Wanwan's dash speed change to improve her gameplay.
Tiger PacePassiveIncreased how much Wanwan's dash speed increases with her Attack Speed to bring it in line with the pre-nerf version.
~AdjustedArlott's opponents now have enough time to react to his Ultimate after we increased the skill's animation time, so we are reverting the rest of the previous nerf.
Final SlashUltCooldown30-24s→24-18s
~AdjustedAfter the last adjustment, we found that Aldous' stack building speed has been significantly improved. But also noticed that players wanted him to be more powerful in the late game, so we buffed him based on feedback. Combined with the Twilight Armor adjustment, we think Aldous should be well balanced now, but we'll continue to monitor his performance.
Contract: Soul StealS1Soul Steal Upper Limit500→650+150
Contract: Chase FateUltDamage400-600 + 10% of target's Max HP→250-400 + 8% of target's Max HP
~AdjustedFredrinn seems overly powerful and too versatile in the high-ranked play and tournaments, so we toned down his survivability.
Crystalline ArmorPassiveConversion Ratio from Crystal Energy into HP25%→20% (For damage dealt to Minions: 15% >> 10%)
Energy EruptionUltHybrid Defense30-60→15-35
~AdjustedWe want to make Terizla less dominant while keeping him as a powerful EXP Laner during the laning phase.
Execution StrikeS2Total Physical Attack Bonus for the first two hits180%→160%-185%
Total Physical Attack Bonus for the third hit300%→220%-320%
~AdjustedWe nerfed Edith's survivability when not in Phylax.
Primal WrathUltLifesteal Increase10-30%→5%-20%
~AdjustedReduced the skill cooldown to slightly increase her damage.
Avian AuthorityS1Cooldown7s→6-5s
Blue NovaS2Cooldown11-8.5s→12-10s
Equipment Adjustments
2Twilight Armor
We're making Twilight Armor more effective in blocking high damage and not get triggered by weaker attacks in the late game. We're also increasing the amount of damage blocked.
Unique Passive - Twilight
Taking more than600 damage in a single hit→Taking more than 800 damage in a single hit
Flat Damage Reduced150→300+150
Jungling Equipment
Junglers with multiple defensive equipment are just too powerful in this patch. So we intend to slow down their jungling speed in the mid-to-late game.
Unique Passive: Hunter
Hero Level x2 + 2% Max HP→25 + Hero Level x 3 + 1% Max HP
