Updates

Base

    • Grunt Movement Speed increased by 50%.
    • Additional Functionality: Grunt explosion damage is doubled against Heroes.

Developer Comment: Azmodan's win rate has consistently settled above our preference after the increase in Globe of Annihilation's damage scaling from 2.5% to 4% per level. So, we're knocking it down a peg. We're also trying to diversify how players use Demonic Invasion, so it doesn't feel like the right option is to always cast it on enemy Structures.

Updates

Base

• Demonic Invasion [R1]
  • Cooldown increased from 90 to 100 seconds.
  • Demon Grunt explosion damage reduced from 97.5 to 88.

  • Pride [Q]
    • Damage bonus increased from 100 to 125.

Developer Comment: Azmodan's PvE-centric talents are proving a little stronger than we'd like for how easy they are to execute on, so we're shaving off a little bit of power across the board and greatly reducing the cast range of Demonic Invasion. We're also normalizing Globe of Annihilation's level scaling since his Q builds are underperforming at most levels of play.

Updates

Talents

• Talent bonuses related to All Shall Burn will now proc their effects if the target dies while All Shall Burn is channeling on an enemy.
• This includes effects for Master of Destruction, Cydaea's Kiss, Hell Rift, and Sin's Grasp.

Developer Comment: We saw some feedback that Azmodan's All Shall Burn felt awkward due to not getting various procs if the target dies while he is channeling on them. This was initially intended by us due to concerns of it being too powerful and resulting in some strange moments when playing against it, but we've since come around and agree the lack of usability is hurting these talents and Azmodan as a whole more than it's helping, so we're going to try allowing these procs to occur, even if the target dies.

Updates

Base

• All Shall Burn [E]
  • Mana cost reduced from 30 to 25.

Talents

• Level 16
  • Trample [Active]
    • Moved from Level 20.
    • Damage increased from 240 to 275.
    • Slow duration increased from 1 to 1.25 seconds.
• Level 20
  • Sins Grasp [E]
    • Moved from Level 16.
    • Now only grants benefits when hitting enemy Heroes.
    • Final Slow amount increased from 45% to 50%.
    • Slow duration increased from 2 to 2.5 seconds.

Developer Comment: Azmodan's Level 16 All Shall Burn talents have been in a bit of an awkward spot due to competing with one another. We're putting the talents on separate tiers and moving Trample down to Level 16, which should prove to be a powerful option for players who want a its utility at that level.

Updates

Base

• Summon Demon Warrior [W]
  • Basic Attack damage increased from 30 to 35.
  • Damage per second to nearby enemies increased from 16 to 18.
• All Shall Burn [E]
  • Periodic damage per second increased from 120 to 128.
  • Final explosion damage increased from 320 to 340.

Talents

  • Bombardment [Q]
    • Empowered Basic Attacks duration increased from 3 to 4 seconds.
  • Master of Destruction [E]
    • Bonus Annihilation per Hero hit increased from 3 to 4.

Developer Comment: Azmodan's been in a decent spot in regards to his talent diversity for some time, but he has been slightly underperforming compared to other heroes as a whole. We're giving him some buffs to his base kit and to a couple underperforming talents, which should help players feel better about having the Lord of Sin on their team.

Bug Fixes

• All Shall Burn no longer continues to cast on targets in Post-Death states.

Updates

Abilities

• Globe of Annihilation (Q)
  • Mana cost increased from 60 to 70
• Summon Demon Warrior (W)

• All Shall Burn (E)
  • Mana cost reduced from 40 to 30

Talents

• Level 7
  • Art of Chaos (Q)
    • Mana refund increased from 30 to 40

Developer Comment: To promote some build diversity away from Globe of Annihilation, we're moving around some of Azmodan's Mana costs. We are increasing the Mana cost of Globe of Annihilation, but reducing it from Summon Demon Warrior and All Shall Burn. This should make Azmodan think a little more in the early game about casting optimal Globes to stack properly, while leaving him freer to use his other abilities when necessary. In the later parts of the game, this should also be a buff to other non-Q centric talents like Hell Rift and Sin's Grasp.

Updates

  • Damage scaling reduced from 3% to 2.5%

Talents

• Level 16
  • Sin's Grasp (E)
    • New functionality:
      • All Shall Burn Slows enemies by 15% during its channel. If the channel finishes, increase this slow to 45% for 2 seconds, and reduce the cooldown of All Shall Burn by 50%
• Level 20
  • Trample (Active)
    • Cooldown reduced from 60 to 20 seconds

Developer Comment: Azmodan is raining a bit too much destruction on the Nexus, so we're bringing his late-game power down a notch by reducing Globe of Annihilation's scaling damage. In addition, we saw an opportunity to help his talent pick rates by adjusting a couple existing talents, which will hopefully motivate more players to pursue builds that don't involve powering up Globe of Annihilation.

    • Damage bonus increased from 100 to 125

Developer Comment: Azmodan's win rate has slowly crept up as players get the hang of his rework, but we feel his PvE inclined elements are less impactful then we'd like. We're making a number of small adjustments to Azmodan's various Demons and All Shall Burn to help ensure their talents are competitive choices. We're also giving Globe a bit more baseline damage at the cost of its scaling to make it slightly easier to stack early in the game.

Developer Comment: In Azmodan's update, we've embraced and expanded his role as a late-game siege monster. He now has a baseline stacking quest for Globe of Annihilation that's a hybrid of the old Taste for Blood and Sieging Wrath Talents. Whether you're focusing on PvE or PvP objectives you should see Globe of Annihilation become more powerful as a game goes on. To compensate for this increase in baseline power, we've made Globe's impact area more quickly visible to enemies, which will give them a chance to dodge their impending doom. We've also made major mechanical changes to Black Pool (now called Tide of Sin) and focused it solely on Globe's damage without the need for targeting or alt-casting. Demon Warriors are now individually stronger and deal constant AoE damage, but are slower and no longer have multiple charges. The new All Shall Burn should be much more consistently useful and certain Talent combinations can be used boost Azmodan's short to mid-range potential. Demon Lieutenant (formerly General Of Hell) is still a global pushing ability, but is less reliant on needing a large Minion wave to get value. Demonic Invasion's changes are geared towards expanding its use in PvP scenarios without affecting its old structure-bustin' potential. Dropping an Invasion on the enemy team will force them to run away or take a large amount of delayed damage.

    • Reduced cooldown from 60 to 45 seconds
  • Imposing Presence (Active)
    • Removed

Developer Comment: For a while now, Azmodan's All Shall Burn hasn't been an attractive ability to build around. We're making part of March of Sin baseline to make it feel a little more useful in the early game, and reducing the initial cast range but increasing the tether range require to cancel it so that it will more consistently get some value (instead of cancelling immediately if cast at maximum range). A few of his less powerful Talents are also being improved to better fit the gluttonous Lord of Sin's tastes.

Bug Fixes

• Globe of Annihilation's range indicator is now visually consistent with indicators used by other long-range Abilities.

  • Blood for Blood (Active)
    • Talent renamed to Sin for Sin
    • Sin for Sin works identically to Blood for Blood, but can be cast while channeling All Shall Burn

Developer Comment: Many of these changes focus on allowing Azmodan to use different Talent builds successfully. We have improved the All Shall Burn build quite a bit. The redesign of Sieging Wrath provides an alternate build for those situations where you want to focus on Globe of Annihilation but find yourself without an ideal team composition or battleground.

Updates

Developer Comment: Right now, Azmodan has one competitive build at high levels of play where he stacks Globe of Annihilation (Q) talents. We think this build is a ton of fun, so we didn't want to negatively impact this build. Instead, we wanted to give Azmodan some other build options. Right now, it's almost always a mistake to summon one of his Demons and waste your mana. With the new tuning, and the talent changes, the Demons become a legitimate option to use. The Demons start with much more damage than previously, but scale close to what they use to be at higher levels. For players who still plan to go the (Q) build, it's mostly the same, but we've offered a few additional talent choices to make options that best fit your play style. Finally, we are removing some of the Support nature of Healing Ward and Storm Shield from Azmodan. It makes more sense for him to be a greedy character, not someone who can become a hybrid support in the right situation.
