Ranked Info

OCE:

We're adjusting the Ranked open and close times for OCE, moving them one hour forward to align with daylight savings changes.

Ranked Split Timings:

We're extending the current Ranked Split to v1.15. We've seen the feedback on how short the splits feel at the moment and want to take time to adjust the Ranked cadence moving forward. So for now, you'll have some much needed extra time to climb the ranks!

We'll have some more info about the changes we're looking to make a bit further down the line, so keep an eye out.

System Balance

Blink:

We have made an improvement to the Targeting System to allow Blink to be used while Channelling an Ability. Previously there was a technical limitation that prevented it as we could not have 2 instances of active targeting present at one time on a Hero, but this has now been improved. Certain abilities will remain Blocked from Blink Proxy, such as Gideon’s Black Hole due to the nature of its effect, and for other Abilities such as Narbash’s Crash, Bang, Boom for balance and game health reasons. However, now the option exists, we may reconsider the balance exceptions in the future!

- [QoL] Blink can now be used while Channelling a wider range of abilities that would previously prevent it, such as Terra’s Wild Rush, Argus’ Synaptic Obliterator. - [QoL] If the User has Blink set to Normal Cast, it will now automatically be Instant Cast if used while Channeling these specific abilities. - [Bugfix] Fixed an issue where Certain Abilities would fail to execute correctly after a Blink Proxy occurred, such as Feng Mao’s Earth Shatter not dealing damage.

Hunt & Crests:

The Targeting System improvements discussed in the Blink section also apply here, meaning Hunt’s Active Effect, as well as certain Crests can now also be used during a wider range of Abilities without interrupting them.

- [Bugfix] Using Hunt and certain Crests such as Gravitum will no longer interrupt certain Abilities, and can be used while Channeling a wider range of Abilities.

Minor Augments:

Voracity:

Voracity is receiving a small increase in its healing to better compete and differentiate it with the other options in the category, as they are also receiving adjustments.

- Healing increased from 3.5% to 4%.

Ultimatum:

Ultimatum is exchanging a small amount of Ultimate Damage in return for the new addition of 8 Ultimate Haste. This makes Ultimatum a broader choice that can be used by a wider range of Heroes that do not typically benefit from the Ultimate Damage exclusively.

- Ultimate Damage decreased from 6% to 5%. - Now also grants 8 Ultimate Haste.

Divination:

A small bump in potency for Divination to ensure it stays competitive with the other options in the class.

- Heal & Shield Power increased from 5% to 6%.

Regenerator:

Regenerator is receiving some additional Healing when low, better allowing it to serve as a defensive choice in lane, especially for Melees that have to deal with a lot of poke from a Ranged matchup.

- Missing Health Healing increased from 2.5% to 3%.

Technocrat:

With other Minor Augments in the class receiving potency improvements, Technocrat is receiving a small upgrade in the form of a flat 5% Attack Speed increase to help it keep up in the early game.

- Now also grants +5% Attack Speed.

Alchemist:

Alchemist currently provides a little too much Mana Regen, often entirely covering for the shortcomings of any Mana-restricted Hero, rather than simply mitigating them.

- Missing Mana Regen decreased from 2.5% to 2.25%.

Steadfast:

A small bump of Tenacity is being offered to Steadfast, better allowing it to protect its user in chain-cc scenarios if needed.

- Temporary Tenacity increased from 12% to 15%.

Hero Balance

Adele is receiving a suite of changes aimed at ironing out her general strengths to a more defined level based on the role she is playing. In the case of Support, the combination of her general durability when paired with her damage output and the strength offered by her Seeds Of Dominion Augment grants her too much offensive damage output, and is seeing a general reduction. However, to ensure that Adele is not overly affected in the Offlane/Jungle roles, we are ensuring that her Tyrant of Thorns Augment is on parity despite the Crown Of Thorns hit, and that her Spin Damage on Royal Flourish remains meaningful, bolstering her general clear and damage output in the earlier stages of a match once the ability is leveled as this is the Ability she typically maxes out last in Support. Finally, Adele’s Imperial Lash now allows her to Dash to Monsters, offering Adele some additional versatility in movement, especially in the Jungle role.

Seeds Of Dominion [Augment]:

- Cooldown Refund decreased from 15% to 12%. - Thorn Bush Damage decreased 2/3.5/5/6.5/8 to 2/2.5/3/3.5/4. - Distance Moved for Damage to Occur increased from 30u to 35u.

Akeron has been benefitting from a minor bug that allowed the Healing from his Crushing Maw to benefit from his Hunger’s Bonus Healing on the initial cast, meaning he was gaining a larger Heal than intended. This has now been resolved and Crushing Maw’s Healing now only factors in his current Hunger level, not the new amount that exists after dealing damage.

Crushing Maw [Augment]:

- [Bugfix] Crushing Maw no longer benefits from the post-use Hunger Healing Amplification amount when used.

For this pass, Aurora is receiving a much-requested adjustment to reduce the impact of her Glacial Thorns Augment. It no longer duplicates the Damage and Root Duration of Hoarfrost 1:1, and instead uses its own individual values that are significantly lower and can be more easily tuned moving forward.

Glacial Thorns [Augment]:

- Glacial Charge’s Hoarfrost now deals 40/60/80/100/120 (+30% Magical Power) Magical Damage and Roots for 0.6s instead of the full original value.

Hypothermia [Augment]:

- Physical and Magical Armor Shred decreased from 20% to 15%.

Nothin’ But Net [Augment]:

- Magical Power increased from 1 to 2.

Photon Disruptor [Primary]:

- Magical Power Scaling increased from 70% to 80%.

There was a niche bug present that could prevent Feng Mao from being able to Execute Heroes despite them being far below the required Execute threshold. This has now been resolved.

Earth Shatter [Ultimate]:

- [Bugfix] Fixed an issue where Feng Mao would not Execute Heroes in certain scenarios where the Target was Out of Combat but being Healed by Titan Crest’s Effect.

Since the previous increase to Gadget’s FDA stack rate, her ability to scale up and dish out heavy damage in the mid-game+ can make her difficult to interact with. This is especially true of Seek and Destroy as it can be more difficult to avoid entirely, with it frequently dealing too much chip damage on the first few ticks even if it is partially escaped. As a result, Seek and Destroy is seeing a meaningful scaling decrease.

Seek and Destroy [Alternate]:

- Magical Power Scaling decreased from 120% to 105%.

Greystone is receiving an adjustment to his Assault The Gates, offering it improved functionality against Monsters as its cooldown refund mechanic has now been extended to hitting a Monster. This will better allow Jungle Greystone to keep pace in clear and make aggressive use of his leap for fast invades.

Assault The Gates [Alternate]:

- Bonus Physical Power Scaling decreased from 110% to 100%. - Cooldown Reduction on Hero Hit decreased from 40% to 35%. - Now also reduces its Cooldown and grants Movement Speed upon hitting Monsters.

A small bump for Grux’s Lust For Blood Augment, offering him some additional Healing potential throughout the later stages of a match.

Lust For Blood [Augment]:

- Healing increased from 4.5%-11.3% to 5%-13.5%.

Alongside some novel changes to his lesser-picked Augments to help them each feel more unique and appealing compared to Combat Thrusters, Howitzer is receiving a larger set of changes that is aimed at resolving some of the negative feedback he has received since his adjustments in v1.12.

- Land Mine’s Cooldown is now also 12% lower.

Khaimera was aggressively hit in the follow-up patches to v1.12, resulting in him struggling to find success outside of the lower skill bracket due to his slower pace and more binary playbook.

Unleash [Primary]:

- Cooldown decreased from 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 to 7/6.5/6/5.5/5.

Cull [Ultimate]:

- Cooldown decreased from 145/120/95 to 135/115/95.

For this pass we’re looking to help level-up Lt. Belica’s strength in the Support role especially as she falters relative to the other Heroes in the role.

- Movement Speed decreased from 705 to 700.
