Early Access Balance Patch V0.9.1

Another balance patch, reporting for duty!

Patch Notes 25 июл. 2023 г.

Summary

Patch releasing 12.00 GMT July 25th, 2023.

Happy Friday Champions! Let's jump right in with what you can expect from Predecessor V0.9.1!

The goal of this balance pass is to fine-tune various outlier Heroes & Items, with some post-release adjustments to TwinBlast and his Ventilate dominance, as well as some additional changes aimed at toning down the oppressiveness of Dekker’s close range crowd control.

Until next time,

~ Rei, Game Designer

Matchmaking Improvements

Thanks to your feedback and using the data at our disposal, it's become clear that our current matchmaking adjustment factor for parties needed work. The adjustment is effective at balancing parties of 2 and 3, but the adjustment for parties of 4 and 5 has proven to be too strong for newer players.

This new system uses a formula that accounts for both the party size and the party’s average Matchmaking Rating.
