    • Portal teleportation now happens instantly after completing the channel instead of briefly after completing the channel.
    • Using Medivh's Portal no longer clears the command queue.

Updates

Talents

• Level 20
  • Dust of Disappearance [Active]
    • Allied Heroes who are given Stealth are unable to be revealed for .5 seconds.

Developer Comment: We heard feedback that Medivh's Dust of Disappearance should mirror Brightwing's Invisible Friends when it comes to its reliability in being able to give allies Stealth, and we agree!

Updates

Abilities

• Level 7
  • Mystic Assault [Q]
    • Damage and Healing bonuses increased from 40% to 50% of damage dealt
• Level 20
  • Arcane Brilliance [Active]
    • Spell Power bonus increased from 10% to 15%
  • Dust of Disappearance [Active]
    • Duration increased from 20 to 40 seconds

Developer Comment: We're making some small adjustments to Medivh's under-picked talents. Mystic Assault sees a fairly significant buff to its overall output as long as Medivh can consistently land Arcane Rifts, whereas Arcane Brilliance and Dust of Disappearance should now better be able to compete with the other Level 20 options.

Updates

Talents

• Level 16
  • Temporal Flux (Q)
    • Adjusted functionality:
      • Cooldown reduction changed from 1 second per Basic Attack and 3 seconds for Arcane Rift hits to 3% per Basic Attack and 9% per Arcane Rift hit

Developer Comment: We like talents that lower Heroic cooldowns, but unfortunately many of the heroes who have these talents also have Heroics with wildly different cooldowns, which makes these talents hard to tune and pick in many cases. Because of this, we're standardizing these talents to reduce a percentage of each Heroic's cooldown so that players feel free to pick the talent regardless of which Heroic they chose earlier in the game.

Developer Comment: While we are still excitedly waiting to see what competitive teams will be able to do with this unique Hero, we have gathered enough data to see that Medivh could benefit from some strategic buffs. We realize Medivh's success is typically reliant on how much the rest of his team capitalizes on his abilities - so we have given him a bit more baseline power, which we hope will allow him to make a greater individual impact on a game's outcome.
