4.HERO BALANCE▼
BUFFS
Zhao Yun
Zhao Yun is underperforming due to his unstable control and low damage output. We’re making his attacks more aggressive by strengthening his ultimate and reworking his passive, taking him back to the group of fierce fighters.
1. Dragon Rage (Ability 2)
♦ After casting this ability, Zhao Yun’s next basic attack triggers Dragon's Spirit.
2. Invincible (Ultimate)
♦ Control Mechanic: The control mechanic of Invincible focusing on knockback may lead to knockup failure if enemy units are knocked back too far away. To ensure this ability to knock up enemy units at last, the mechanic is now updated as: dashes and drags enemy units along the path to the destination, and then knock them up there.
♦ Hyper Armor Mechanic: Hyper Armor is now applied for the duration of this ability, not just lasting during the dash.
♦ Damage per Stage: 100/150/200 => 130/180/230
3. Dragon’s Spirit (Passive)
♦ Reworked:
Triggered at every third basic attack that damages an enemy unit, Dragon’s Spirit now deals additional physical damage and reduces the cooldown of all Zhao Yun’s active abilities (1, 2, and ultimate), instead of slowing the enemy unit by 50%.
Passive: Now grants bonus Attack based on level.
Bonus Damage: 30/60/85/110 => 40/65/90/115
[New] Cooldown Reduction: 4%/5%/6%/7%
Bonus Attack: 25/30/35/40
Zoe
Zoe’s already been released for months, but her pick rate is lower than expected. To help this lovely adventurer attract more attention, we’re giving her comprehensive buffs, including higher basic damage and shorter cooldown on abilities. Her Capture Moments is also allowed to heal allies. Hope this perfect ability can make a difference.
1. Shutter Precision (Ability 1)
♦ Cooldown: 3 seconds => 1 second
2. Magic Camera (Ability 2)
♦ Basic Magic Damage: 80/120/160/200 => 110/150/190/230
♦ Basic Charge Time: 5 seconds => 5/4.7/4.4/4.1 seconds
3. Capture Moments (Ultimate)
♦ [New] Capture Moments now also heals allied units (except structures); Health Regen: 80/120/160
4. Memory Filmroll (Passive)
♦ Shield: 80/170/260/350 => 110/180/250/320
♦ Bonus Movement Speed: 15%/20%/25%/30% => 15%/18%/21%/24%
Estrath
It seems too hard for Estrath to reach the number of Hypothermia notches required for turning the Movement Slow effect to Stun. By optimizing his ability 2, we’re giving Estrath more opportunities to kill fragile enemies swiftly and granting him more steady control in both teamfights and ganks.
1. Icy Tornado (Ability 2)
♦ Against enemy units with 4 Hypothermia notches, Icy Tornado causes Stun for 1 second instead of Movement Slow. => Against an enemy unit with 1 Hypothermia notch or more, Icy Tornado causes Stun instead of Movement Slow.
♦ Physical Damage: 120/150/180/210 => 150/180/210/240
Minos
Minos is widely acclaimed but not widely used in the game. We’re enhancing his control and optimizing his ultimate to make him a more attractive pick.
1. Furious Roar (Ability 1)
♦ Movement Slow: 30% => 50%
♦ Mana Cost: 100 => 90/100/110/120
2. Sweeping Blow (Ability 2)
♦ [New] Hitting an enemy hero with this ability now refreshes the cooldown of Mighty Axe.
♦ Bonus Armor: 10/15/20/25 => 16/24/32/40
♦ Bonus Spell Resist: 4/6/8/10 => 6/9/12/15
♦ Mana Cost: 100 => 90/100/110/120
3. Violent Attack (Ultimate)
♦ Mana Cost: 100/125/150 => 100
♦ [New] Making a kill with this ability now returns the Mana consumed.
♦ [New] Making a kill with this ability now refreshes the cooldown of all Minos’ abilities.
NERFS
Methos
Having diverse abilities for healing, shielding, and multiple dashes keeps Methos sitting near the top of the ban-rate list. We are tapping him down by reducing the damage and shield of his ability 2 and ultimate, giving him more opportunities to serve.
1. Endless Terror (Ability 2)
♦ 80/100/120/140 Magic Damage per Second => 30/40/50/60 Damage Every 0.5 Seconds
♦ Duration: 3 seconds => 2.5 seconds
2. Dark Barrier (Ultimate)
♦ Magic Damage to Enemies Hit: 100/120/140 => 80/100/120
♦ Shield per Stack: 100/130/160 => 80/110/140
Murry
As one of the nimblest tanks, Murry can control enemies multiple times, but his damage output is a bit too high. We’re reducing the damage of his ability 1 and ultimate, so he can now focus on making steady control in teamfights while relying more on allies’ damage output.
1. Fragrant Trace (Ability 1)
♦ Magic Damage: 110/170/230/300 => 90/150/210/280
2. Rolling Strike (Ultimate)
♦ Physical Damage (Basic Strike): 200/300/400 (+3% of Caster's Max Health) => 150/250/350 (+2% of Caster's Max Health)
♦ Physical Damage (Max Strike): 300/450/600 (+6% of Caster's Max Health) => 250/400/550 (+5% of Caster's Max Health)
♦ Path Damage: 150/200/250 (+1% of Caster's Max Health) => 130/170/210 (+1% of Caster's Max Health)
Scarlet
With incredibly long cast range, Scarlet joins fights at low risk, but her gain goes a bit too high. We’re reducing the cast range of her ability 1 and ultimate, giving her fragile opponents more room to survive.
1. Double Chakrams (Ability 1)
♦ Cast Range: 1500 => 1200
2. Aurablade (Ultimate)
♦ Cast Range: 1500 => 1200
♦ Physical Damage: 200/250/300 => 180/230/280
5. BUG FIX▼
We’ve fixed the bug that players lost a ranking star incorrectly before they were inactive in Ranked Matches for 7 days.
