Balance

• General
  • Diminishing returns
  • “With this release we are overhauling an existing behind the scenes system in Paladins. Up until now there were many different ways that these attributes were treated. Now there will be a single unified system of Diminishing Returns that functions uniformly for all attributes. Our goal is to make this system slightly more accessible while also improving build diversity and clarity.”
    • The functionality of Diminishing Returns has been normalized across the following attributes:
      • Movement Speed, Slow, Damage Reduction, Damage Amp, Damage increase, Healing Reduction, Healing increase, Crowd Control Reduction, Knockback Reduction, Cooldown Reduction, and Lifesteal.

    
    
    • Movement Speed now has a maximum increase of 150%.
    
    
    • All other attributes now have a maximum increase of 95%.
    
    
    • Diminishing Returns will never kick in until a player receives at least a 30% change in an attribute.
    
    
    • Players will always receive the full value of their single highest bonus in an attribute, and all other bonuses will diminish on top of that value.
      • E.G. a player has 4 movement speed bonuses: 30%, 20%, 20%, and 10%. The player is guaranteed to get the full value from the 30% bonus, the other will diminish on top of that 30%. Their total movement speed will be 55.00%.

    
    
    • Attributes that oppose each other will stack their diminished values additively against each other.
      • Movement Speed opposes slow. Damage Reduction opposes Damage amp. Healing increase opposes healing reduction.

    
    
    • Here is the formula for diminishing returns for movement speed increases:
      • x = total movement speed bonus
      • m = highest single movement speed bonus
      • y = final diminished value
      • y = m+(1.5-m)*((x-m)/((x-.3)+1.36))

    
    
    • Here is the formula for diminishing returns for all other attributes:
      • x = total attribute bonus
      • m = highest single attribute bonus
      • y = final diminished value
      • y = m+(.95-m)*((x-m)/((x-.3)+.8))
