Updates

Structures

• Towers
  • Towers added on each side of the middle Gates.

Developer Comment: We've added Towers near each team's central Healing Fountain to prevent certain Heroes from being able to destroy them too easily.

Updates

Layout

• Dragon Shire has received a significant update to its art.

Updates

Objective

• Punishers
  • Arcane
    • Arcane damage increased from 52 to 53.
    • Arcane damage scaling reduced from 11 to 8 per minute.
  • Frozen
    • Frozen damage base increased from 110 to 120.
    • Frozen area increased from 3 to 3.25.
    • Number of Frozen explosions reduced from 6 to 5.
    • When Frozen explosions damage an enemy Structure, they are disabled for 3 seconds.
  • Mortar
    • Mortar damage base increased from 90 to 115.
    • Mortar damage scaling increased from 5 to 17 per minute.

Developer Comment: These changes are designed to bring the 3 types of Punishers more closely aligned in power, while preserving what makes them special. Mortar is now a properly scary amount of damage up front, while Arcane had its damage reduced but maintains the highest damage over a long period of time. Frozen has had Structure disabled added to it, further encouraging teams to dive into enemy Towns alongside him.

Developer Comment: We're making these changes to the Triglav Protector to shift a little of the Vehicles power out of its team fight potential, and into its pushing power (particularly in the early game). We believe that it has to has some teeth to discourage enemies from committing to a team fight when it pushes, but its capability to nuke someone from almost full Health was a little too powerful. We've changed Rocket Fist's root into a knockback to make landing all its Abilities more difficult as well, but still force enemies to disengage when it connects. We've also taken this time to adjust some of the scaling of the Protector, so that it follows a more typical power curve in relation to Heroes, Minions, and Mercenaries. We've removed the Swap Vehicle button as well. While it was cool, it was a hold out from the previous undesired gameplay of a solo player controlling both seats of a Vehicle that we discouraged via the Spell Power buff to both seats being occupied.

Bug Fixes

• The Triglav Protector now properly scales Health and Basic Attack damage at the first minute of a game.
