IMPROVEMENT

FIGHTERS

BALANCING CHANGES

Centurion

  • Jab and Charged Jab now reach their full charge at 900ms (down from 1000ms)

Dev comment: With this change, opponents should no longer be able to dodge a fully charged Jab after a Light Attack.

Lawbringer

  • New move: Law, Order and Equity (Light, Light, Heavy)
  • Can now perform Shove after any Light attack

Dev comment: We are giving Lawbringer two new options to improve the hero's flow. In an earlier Testing Grounds, Lawbringer could perform a Light, Light, Light chain, but the feedback we received with this chain was that it made Lawbringer too reliant on Light attacks, so we decided not to include it in the rework. After a lot of feedback, we decided to put back a Light, Light, Heavy chain, but still restrict the second Light attack to chain into Lawbringer's Heavy Finishers to give the hero more viable venues of entering chain offense. On top of this, we're also adding the ability to chain from any Light attack into Shove, which should also improve Lawbringer's flow and make the hero less predictable.

Peacekeeper

  • Dashing Thrust and Sidestep Strike can now chain to Heavy Finishers

Dev comment: Peacekeeper's flow felt limited in how she could access her Heavy Finishers, especially on an opponent that is Bleeding. WIth this change, Peacekeeper should have easier access to her more powerful moves, and gives her new chain options to apply pressure.

Feat changes

  • Thrilling Comeback: Now Cleanses and heals for 40hp (up from 20hp)
  • Berzerker: Active Duration is now 30 seconds (up from 15 seconds)
  • Fiat Lux: Now deals 5 damage (up from 0)
  • Tough as Nails: Now increases max hp by 15% (up from 10%)
  • Umbral Shelter: Now gives 50 shield per pulse (down from 100 shield per pulse)

Dev comments: We're adjusting a few feats that were underperforming as well as applying a nerf to Umbral Shelter to account for its strength.

Thrilling Comeback, while still situational, should now make entering Revenge much better as it will cleanse and heal for double what it used to.

Berzerker in itself is strong, but we felt the duration of the buff wasn't long enough to be of significant use. With a 30 second duration, it should now be much more useful in keeping its user alive.

Fiat Lux was changed a long time ago to no longer deal damage so it would not damage minions. We're giving the feat damage again so it has more utility.

Tough as Nails, at its current value, does not provide enough of a bonus to be a viable pick. At 15%, we feel it is in a better position and should be more attractive as a feat.

Umbral Shelter was giving near maximum Shield to Black Prior's allies, which made them extremely resilient. By reducing the amount of Shield given, it should now have more counterplay, as it is much more possible to kill someone in between pulses.
