Developer Comment: Deckard's healing related talents have been underperforming lately, so we're hitting their numbers as well as cutting down some of the travel time on his potions. Scroll of Identify is also getting a blast of ~*spice*~, because why not.

Updates

Talents

• Level 20
  • Morenados! [R2]
    • Additional functionality: Adds another charge.

Developer Comment: Gimme more.

Updates

Talents

• Level 4
  • Ruby [Active]
    • Cooldown increased from 10 to 20 seconds.

Developer Comment: After a slew of buffs over the years we finally crossed the threshold of making Ruby not only competitive, but too powerful of a pick. We're reverting our last buff to the talent that pushed it over the edge so that the tier is overall in a healthier place.

Updates

Talents

• Level 16
  • Safety in Numbers [Trait]
    • Required number of allied Heroes nearby to gain bonuses reduced from 3 to 2.
    • Armor bonus reduced from 15 to 10.

Developer Comment: We want Safety in Numbers to be a more consistent talent to get value out of, so we're lowering the requirement for Deckard to be near only 2 friendly Heroes instead of 3, and slightly lowering its bonus to compensate.

Updates

Base

• Health increased from 1700 to 1780.
• Health Regeneration increased from 3.54 to 3.71.

Talents

• Level 1
  • Scroll of Identify [E]
    • Quest requirement reduced from 16 to 14 enemy Heroes hit.
• Level 4
  • Ruby [Active]
    • Cooldown reduced from 20 to 10 seconds.
• Level 10
  • Lorenado [R2]
    • Cooldown reduced from 40 to 30 seconds.
    • Mana cost reduced from 40 to 35.

Developer Comment: Deckard is still a little less powerful compared to other Healers, so we're giving him some more Health and buffing up some of his talents.

Updates

Base

• Healing Potion [Q]
  • Now displays its impending AoE to allies while the missile is in flight.
• Fortitude of the Faithful [Trait]
  • Radius increased from 5.5 to 6.5.

Talents

• Level 1/4/7
  • Gems [Active/W]
    • Added functionality: Increases the damage of the unleashing Horadric Cube by 100%.
• Level 4
  • Ruby [Active/W]
    • Cooldown reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.
    • Trigger radius of Lesser Healing Potions increased from .5 to 1 (matching base potions).
• Level 20
  • Perfect Gems [Active/W]
    • Now reduces the cooldown of all Gem talents to 5 seconds, instead of a flat 25 second reduction.

Developer Comment: Our favorite old man is still lagging behind his healer friends, despite the suite of buffs he's seen in the past few patches. Rather than pushing his numbers even higher, we're giving him a boost to general usability by making his potions display their impact location before they land and increasing the area in which his trait will function. Additionally, we're giving the various gem talents a bit of damage to make them more attractive options overall.

Updates

Base

• Health increased from 1598 to 1700.
• Health Regeneration increased from 3.328 to 3.542.

Talents

• Level 7
  • Cube Mastery [W]
    • Mana cost reduction of Scroll of Sealing changed from 30 to 25.

• Level 16
  • Safety in Numbers [Passive]
    • Additional functionality: When 3 allied Heroes are nearby, Deckard's Mana Regeneration is also increased by 50%.

Developer Comment: OK, Deckard. We have to have a talk. We've been buffing you since December and you still don't want to become meta. At this point it's not me, it's you. Seriously we love Deckard. Hope you all enjoy these buffs!

Developer Comment: Deckard's foray into the Nexus has been incredibly successful from a balance perspective. He's sitting at a healthy win rate of anywhere between 47% and 51% in high level play, depending on the experience of the Deckard player. Many of his Talents are also looking to be in good shape. We're making some tuning changes intended to adjust under and overperforming Talents without impacting his overall win rate too much.

Bug Fixes

• Non-Hero allied units no longer receive area of effect Healing from the Potion of Revival Talent.
