Developer Comment: We're making a few changes to Alterac Pass to reduce the frequency that one team can run away with an early lead, while still keeping the average game time roughly in line with our other Battlegrounds. We're removing the mechanic that grants Cavalry additional Armor for every allied Hero in their aura, since we feel that multi-Hero pushes are already strong enough. We've also made Health scaling adjustments so that Vanndar and Drek'thar (the Core replacements) won't be demolished as quickly by late game Heroes that have outscaled them and reduced their Armor. However, we are increasing the scaling of Cavalry and Reavers (the Catapult replacements), so that games still end in a timely fashion. This should only come into play during games that become prolonged.
