Additional Balance Adjustments[]
From the Designers[]
While the new version has been well received since its release, some heroes may have been faring too well or too badly in the new meta. So we decided to roll out the following additional balance adjustments to address this. We hope you all have fun in the new season!
Hero Adjustments[]
The following uses BUFF ↑ NERF ↓ ADJUST ~ to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.
NERF ↓ | Masha's been tearing up the battlefield with her polished kit, so we're taking a chunk out of her Bear power to at least give her opponents some time to catch their breath. |
Attributes NERF ↓
| |
NERF ↓
| |
NERF ↓
| |
BUFF ↑ | The early power boost can hardly compensate for Hilda's loss in her late game dominance, so we're infusing a bit more power into her axe early on. |
BUFF ↑
| |
BUFF ↑ | The nerf on the Damage Transfer almost cast our little tailoress entirely out of the meta. We hope these adjustments could make up for what she's been through in the past few days. |
Attributes BUFF ↑
| |
|
|
NERF ↓ | With multiple firearms at her disposal, Beatrix been a top choice in almost all levels of play. To give other Marksmen more play time on the battlefield, we're applying another nerf on her early game dominance and mid-to-late sustainability |
Attributes BUFF ↑
| |
NERF ↓
| |
ADJUST ~ | Guinevere and Golden Staff have been a formidable, if not matchless, since the last patch. We're addressing this while slightly buffing her Passive as compensation. |
|
|
BUFF ↑ | The previous adjustments to Martis's Skill 2 have hit his early wave clearing a bit too hard, so we're adding more base power to his strikes, especially when against minions |
BUFF ↑
|
