I love the smell of updates in the morning – especially when they include sweeping changes that improve a game I already like. Patch 1.7 for Battlerite, the fighting man’s MOBA, smells delicious. Round times have been shortened from two minutes to ninety seconds, which means the teal zone of death encloses sooner and encourages everyone to play less passively.
Today also marks the start of competitive season three, bringing with it a new cosmetic item and balance tweaks along with “broader changes to general systems and mechanics in the Arena”.
