Dev Comments
Commander's Eye (E-Skill)'s damage has been adjusted as it was too effective in combat. Commander's Eye (E-Skill)'s cooldown has also been adjusted to make it easier to combine with Suppress (RMB-Skill) and Ground Collapse (Q-Skill).
Paralyzing Shot (R-Skill) caused some players confusion because it wasn't identified as a Magical skill, especially when it came to selecting items. The Ultimate's mechanism has been adjusted to make it clearer that it is a Magical skill.

Item Balance Changes

[Energy Overflow]
#. Price
- Before: 2,000 Gold
- Now: 1,500 Gold

Dev Comments
This item was not purchased very often due to its high cost and potential drawbacks. The price has been brought down in the hopes that the item will be purchased more.

[Fruit of Greed]
#. Effect
- Before: Decreases Magical Defense of nearby enemy Heroes by 15%.
- Now: Decreases Magical Defense of nearby enemy Heroes by 20%.

Dev Comments
It was hard for Heroes to use Magical Defense Reduction effects in the early-to-mid game because the Magical Defense of most Heroes is low. We have adjusted the item's values to be more effective in the early stages of the game.

[Holy Relic of Osyne]
#. Price
- Before: 3,100 Gold
- Now: 2,900 Gold

Dev Comments
This item had a low purchase rate due to its high cost and less desirable Magical Defense increase effect. The price has been adjusted to make this item a solid choice when facing off against enemy teams with many debuffs.

[Emergency Rescue Unit]
#. Effect
- Before: Grants a Shield equal to 15% of Max Health for 3 sec if the Hero's Health is below 30%.
- Now: Grants a Shield equal to 20% of Max Health for 3 sec if the Hero's Health is below 30%.

Dev Comments
This item was proving difficult for Jungle Heroes to utilize properly because their itemization options don't normally include items with large Max HP increases. We've adjusted the item's Max HP scaling to make it a more appealing purchase.

[Margot's Stone]
#. Price
- Before: 3,500 Gold
- Now: 3,100 Gold

- Now: A successful Basic Attack or Skill Attack on an enemy Hero increases Magical Power by 10, and decreases the enemy's Magical Defense by 5% for 5 sec. Stacks up to 5 times.

#. Stats
- Before: Physical Power 40, Attack Speed 30%, Movement Speed 4%
- Now: Physical Power 40, Attack Speed 30%, Tenacity 20%, Movement Speed 4%

[Carbon Alloy Vest]
#. Price
- Before: 1,550 Gold
- Now: 1,250 Gold

Dev Comments
The price of this item has been lowered in the hopes that it will see more play.

[Blue Heart]
#. Combination
