II. Hero Adjustments
III. Battlefield Adjustments
A. Lane Adjustment
Recommended Lane & Equipment Optimization- To adapt to the current laning meta, we have optimized the recommended lane and recommended equipment for certain heroes based on the latest match data and player feedback.
B. Equipment Adjustment
[Roaming Blessings]
Different types of Roaming heroes have different playstyles, so we've reworked how some Roaming Blessings gain extra Gold and EXP. As match time increases, Gold from minions and creeps rises, while vision reveals and damage opportunities for roamers decrease in the late game. Therefore, we've adjusted the reward values for Roaming heroes' different actions to balance the Gold income of different Roaming styles.[All Blessings] BUFF ↑
- Gold Gained from Vision Reveal: 30 → 30 (+ 1* Hero Level)
- EXP Gained from Vision Reveal: 30 in first 2 min, 60 after 2 min → 25 + (5* Hero Level)
- Gold Gained Every 5s After 8 Min: 9 → 10
- EXP Gained Every 5s After 8 Min: 18 → 20
Active - Conceal & Passive - Dire Hit ADJUST ~
- New Effect: Gain (30 + 2* Hero Level) Gold and (20 + 8* Hero Level) EXP after dealing damage to enemy heroes. Cooldown: 15s.
Passive - Encourage & Passive - Favor NERF ↓
- Income from Minions and Creeps Killed by Nearby Allies: 40% → 35%
Passive - Encourage ADJUST ~
- Grants nearby allied heroes 20 Hybrid Defense.
Demon Hunter Sword BUFF ↑
- Removed 8% Lifesteal.
- Basic Attacks grant 2% Lifesteal → Each Basic Attack recovers (20+4* Hero Level) HP, and counts as an Attack Effect
Rose Gold Meteor ADJUST ~
Physical Attack: 40 → 30
[Unique Passive - Dragon Scale] BUFF ↑- Every 1% Lifesteal increases Hybrid Defense by 1 → Every 4 extra Physical Attack increases Hybrid Defense by 1
- This effect now requires taking damage from enemy heroes to trigger.
Queen's Wings BUFF ↑
Demon Hunter Sword NERF ↓
- HP Regen: 20 (+ 4* Hero Level) → 10 (+ 4* Hero Level)
C. Emblem Adjustments
-
D. Battle Spell Adjustment
Ice NERF ↓
Slightly reduced Ice Retribution's control and kiting potential.- Movement Speed Stolen: 70 (+2* Hero Level) → 50 (+2* Hero Level)
Vengeance NERF ↓
We found that some offensive Fighters using Vengeance posed too great a threat to the backline, so we've reduced its damage to the attacker.- Damage: 35% of damage taken (before reduction) >> 25% of damage taken (before reduction)
