Hero Balance Changes
[Maco]
1. Maco Gift! (Q-Skill)'s Base Damage Adjusted
- Before: 55/75/95/115/135
- Now: 60/90/110/130/160
2. Maco Fly! (E-Skill)'s Shield Duration Adjusted
- Before: 5 sec/5 sec/6 sec/6 sec/7 sec
- Now: 5 sec/5.5 sec/6 sec/6.5 sec/7 sec
3. Maco Strike! (R-Skill)'s Heal-Over-Time Amount Adjusted
- Before: 0.25/0.3/0.35
- Now: 0.3/0.4/0.5
Dev Comments
Because the cooldown for Maco Gift! (Q-Skill) is short, we had set the Base Damage low. However, a lot of players sent feedback that the skill's damage output was not enough to counter enemies. So the damage has been slightly increased.
Additionally, Maco Strike! (R-Skill) was not being used due to its low healing, so the amount of healing has been increased.
[Dekker]
1. High Elasticity Plasma Ball (Q-Skill)'s Base Damage Adjusted
- Before: 80/120/160/200/240
- Now: 65/105/145/185/225
2. Plasma Dome (E-Skill)'s Duration Adjusted
- Before: 4 sec
- Now: 3 sec
3. Plasma Dome (E-Skill)'s Attack Speed/Movement Speed Decrease Amount Adjusted
- Before: 0.3/0.34/0.38/0.42/0.46
- Now: 0.28/0.31/0.34/0.37/0.4
Dev Comments
When High Elasticity Plasma Ball (Q-Skill)'s debuff and Plasma Dome (E-Skill) were used together, the combination was a powerful harassment tool in the early stages of the game.
Therefore, we have decreased the damage of High Elasticity Plasma Ball (Q-Skill) and decreased the duration and effect of Plasma Dome (E-Skill) so the two skills are less powerful when used in conjunction.
[Grux]
1. Rage (RMB-Skill)'s Healing Reduction Effect Adjusted
- Before: 10%/15%/20%/25%/30%
- Now: 20%/25%/30%/35%/40%
2. Fury of the Great Chieftain (R-Skill)'s Physical Power Increase Amount Adjusted
- Before: 30% / 45% / 60%
- Now: 35% / 50% / 65%
Dev Comments
We have increased the healing reduction effect granted by Rage (RMB-Skill) to make Grux more of a threat to Heroes with healing skills.
Also, we have slightly increased Fury of the Great Chieftain (R-Skill)'s Physical Power increase to give it an offensive boost.
[Aurora]
1. Frozen Track (Q-Skill)'s Cooldown Adjusted
- Before: 18/17/16/15/14
- Now: 16/15.5/15/14.5/14
2. 2% Total Health Bonus Magical Damage Added for Basic Attack After Using Glacial Barrier (E-Skill)
- Before: 0.5 Magical Power
- Now: 0.5 Magical Power + 2% Total Health
* This effect is currently active, but it was omitted from the skill's description. The skill description will be adjusted to match in a future update.
3. Glacier Explosion (R-Skill)'s Area Adjusted
- Before: 850 for the first attack
- Now: 875 for the first attack
- Before: 500 for the second attack
- Now: 525 for the second attack
4. Glacier Explosion (R-Skill)'s Second Attack Base Damage and Coefficient Adjusted
- Before: 85/95/110 Base Damage
- Now: 100/110/120 Base Damage
- Before: 0.4 Magical Power Coefficient
- Now: 0.6 Magical Power Coefficient
5. Glacier Explosion (R-Skill)'s Cooldown Adjusted
- Before: 140/125/110
- Now: 110/100/90
6. Aurora's Position Adjusted
- Before: Caster
- Now: Tank
*Base stats and upgraded stats have been adjusted due to the position change.
Dev Comments
We determined that Aurora fits more of a Tank role than a Caster role and changed her position accordingly.
Frozen Track (Q-Skill)'s cooldown has been decreased so it can be used more often.
Additionally, Glacier Explosion (R-Skill)'s cooldown has been decreased and its area of effect and damage have been increased. We are hoping that these changes give Aurora the chance to use these skills in more versatile situations on the battlefield.
[Kallari]
1. Faded Light (Q-Skill)'s Cooldown Adjusted
- Before: 14/13.5/13/12.5/12
- Now: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10
2. Faded Light (Q-Skill)'s Stealth Duration Adjusted
- Before: 6 sec/8 sec/10 sec/12 sec/14 sec
- Now: 8 sec/9 sec/10 sec/11 sec/12 sec
3. Faded Light (Q-Skill)'s Damage Coefficient Adjusted for Basic Attacks from Behind
- Before: 0.15
- Now: 0.3
Dev Comments
Faded Light (Q-Skill)'s cooldown has been decreased, its stealth duration has been adjusted, and its backstab damage bonus has been increased to encourage Kallari players to use her Stealth abilities more and reward them for pulling off backstabs.
[Twinblast]
1. Equilibrium (R-Skill)'s Coefficient Adjusted
- Before: 0.8
- Now: 0.65
Dev Comments
Equilibrium (R-Skill)'s long range and high damage stood out among other Heroes, so we have decreased its Physical Power scaling.
[Iggy & Scorch]
1. Another Friend (Q-Skill)'s Mini Turret Health Adjusted
- Before: 160/290/420/550/680
- Now: 150/265/380/495/610
2. Firework Festival (R-Skill)'s Mini Turret Magical Power Coefficient on Heroes Adjusted
- Before: 0.45
- Now: 0.30
3. Firework Festival (R-Skill)'s Mini Turret Magical Power Coefficient on T-ons (Including Jungle Monsters) Adjusted
- Before: 0.18
- Now: 0.13
Dev Comments
Despite the last round of adjustments, Iggy & Scorch's pick rate and win rate continue to remain dominant, so we are applying a second round of adjustments. Mini turret Health has been decreased to make them easier to destroy and Firework Festival (R-Skill)'s Magical Power scaling has been reduced to make it easier for other Heroes to counter.
Item Balance Changes
[Mini Moda]
#. Effect
- Before: Slows by 30% for 1 sec upon a successful skill attack
- Now: Slows by 30% for 2 sec upon a successful skill attack
[Dekima Cannon]
#. Effect
Before: Slows by 25% for 1 sec upon a successful skill attack
Now: Slows by 30% for 2 sec upon a successful skill attack
Dev Comments
The Dekima Cannon has not been picked up by very many players and seems like the weaker purchase in many situations
because it requires Heroes to land a skill to obtain the Slow effect or the Slow effect overlaps with the skill's baseline. We have increased both the duration and strength of the Slow effect to make it more impactful.
Improvements
[Quick Battle]
- Adjusted the Matchmaking region range for parties of 4-5 players
*Now parties of 4-5 players share an exclusive Matchmaking pool
[Surrender and Revoting Time Adjustment]
- Adjusted the Surrender voting time that becomes available after a game begins
#. Before: 15 min
#. Now: 10 min
- Adjusted the time between the initial vote and the second vote
#. Before: 1 min
#. Now: 2 min
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where a Hero's Skin couldn't be changed if the Hero was being traded during the Draft phase under the Draft Pick Menu in Competitive and Custom Game.
- Fixed an issue where Maco Fly! (E-Skill)'s Shield acquisition condition didn't match the skill description.
#. Before: Grants a Shield upon landing a successful hit on an enemy Hero
#. Now: Grants a Shield upon landing a successful hit on an enemy
- Fixed an issue where completing a game in a new region without personal records after expanding matchmaking regions wouldn't grant EXP.
