Patch v1.13

Akeron

OFFLANEJUNGLE7 zmian

−5±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENAkeron is currently overperforming in the Offlane, specifically when he maxes out his Hellfire, with the combination of damage and his innate durability allowing him to bully out various matchups too early in the match. Likewise the uptime and raw value of devouring a target with Consume is on the high end, compounding his strength. Adjustments to both are needed to bring him back into parity.

Aurora

OFFLANEJUNGLE23 zmian

+1−12±10Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENWhile Aurora’s damage potential has fallen to more appropriate levels, her general durability and disruptive uptime makes her difficult to catch out and deal with appropriately, even if she over extends. We’re once again nudging down her values in various areas to give her opponents a little extra breathing room between ability rotations, and a better chance at fighting back against her. As mentioned in a prior update, Boris has been creeping up in the power rankings now that the more extreme outliers are settling into a more appropriate spot. Given we don’t want to diminish his mauling capabilities too much (that’s kinda what bears do, y’know?), we’re reducing his general efficacy to ensure he doesn’t stat check opponents as easily, especially in the early game where he is fond or running at Objectives on cooldown, leaving his opponents little room for response unless they are coordinating well together.

Countess

MIDLANEOFFLANE7 zmian

+4±3Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENWhile Countess tends to scale reasonably well once a few items come online, she can often feel as if she lacks too much impact before that point. As a result she’s receiving a boost to her early/mid-game capabilities, better allowing her to spike and contend with other Heroes at key moments, such as Level 6 and 9.

Crunch

OFFLANEJUNGLE11 zmian

+5−1±5Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENThe previous round of changes to Crunch provided a resurgence of excitement and interest for Crunch, while also helping his power level return to a desirable level. However, there’s still some room to grant him a little extra punch to his crunch, as he can still struggle to find success in specific matchups he should be well-suited to, and continues to underperform in the Jungle role especially.

Drongo

CARRY6 zmian

+2−1±3Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENDrongo is receiving a small set of changes that will help open up some alternative build paths, with his Smog Therapy and Old Rusty receiving some small adjustments that will better incentivise investment into them as stylistic mixups, rather than Drongo enjoyers feeling like Rad Rounds maxing is the only viable path.

Eden

CARRY11 zmian

+1−5±5Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENSimilar to what happened to her post-release, Eden has been finding more success lately due to her natural counters such as Kallari and Khaimera receiving power reductions over the previous few balance passes. As a result, alongside the emergence of some unique speed-focused builds with Kinetic Waltz, there are less Heroes keeping her in check which has resulted in a general boon to her success. As a result, we’re trimming out some power across her kit, reducing her early-game strength with damage adjustments to make her a little more manageable in lane, while also targeting her general Melee Stance sustain to reduce how oppressive she can feel when she has secured a lead.

Gadget

MIDLANE1 zmian

±1Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENAn error with Gadget’s Speed Gate cooldown values occurred in the transition to v1.12, resulting in her receiving the incorrect value. This has now been resolved.

Greystone

OFFLANEJUNGLE5 zmian

−3±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENGiven his late-game presence and general sticking power, Greystone early-game is a tad too stoic and stable, leading to him feeling overly difficult to keep down before he reaches a critical, unkillable mass. Some small adjustments to his laning strength are occurring, better allowing Bruisers to disrupt his scaling in the early-game.

GRIM.exe

CARRY4 zmian

+1−1±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENGrim’s Displacement Blast is currently one of the hardest hitting abilities in the game, and given his strong late-game impact and DPS output, it allows him to dominate too many matchups and transition to the later stages of a matchup too easily. As a result we’re taking a healthy chunk out of its Level 9+ damage, and offsetting it slightly with boosts to his Magical Power Scaling to ensure the bomba-Grim enjoyers of the world are not overly impacted by this loss of strength.

Howitzer

MIDLANE2 zmian

−1±1Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENFor this pass, we are once again speeding up Howitzer’s R2000 Missile charge rate, with the hope of hitting a more enjoyable middleground for players that provides a healthier mix or intent and hovering versatility for the User, while still remaining readable for the opponent. While there is some additional work that remains to be done that should increase the general feel and reliability of the ability as it can be unintuitive to aim, the charge time adjustments should be a meaningful step in making the ability more enjoyable to use.

Kallari

JUNGLE9 zmian

−5±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENKallari continues to overly excel in the average match and is in need of further adjustments. For this pass she is receiving a general reduction power across her kit, trimming out some of her excess damage potential that typically occurs in the mid game to better ensure that she must execute her loop accurately in order to find success, rather than being able to rely on Basic Attacks and Death Mark as easily to bridge the damage gap should she miss an ability.

Khaimera

JUNGLE2 zmian

±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENWe missed Khaimera when doing our pass in v1.12 that made various Hero Ultimates actually go on cooldown if interrupted. This has now been resolved.

Kwang

JUNGLEOFFLANE11 zmian

+6±5Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENThe last round of adjustments help bring Kwang back into contention with the general Offlane and Jungle pool while reducing some of his excess burst damage capabilities in the earlier stages of the game. Despite this, we still believe there is room to give him a touch more power, especially in the early-game Mana department.

Maco

SUPPORT14 zmian

+2−8±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENThe last round of changes to Maco helped reduce him from a “must-pick”, and thereby allowing for further diversity in the Support role. Despite this, Maco continues to feel too oppressive in specific areas, such as the amount of burst damage and durability he is capable of despite possessing incredible disruption and roaming tools, or his strength in the Offlane when he opts into specific builds. Once again we’re trimming down this excess to ensure that Maco still remains satisfying to pilot, but that he is not overly proficient in as many areas.

Murdock

CARRY2 zmian

−1±1Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENMurdock has been one of the most consistent Heroes among the Carry pool thanks to his general versatility and incredible damage output. Currently he’s hitting a little too hard relative to other Heroes once the mid/late-game rolls around, and given his global map presence and general safety, this damage output is not appropriate to the lack of risk he takes throughout a match relative to the likes of Eden and Sparrow. As a result, we’re reducing his Basic Attack Scaling to reflect his strength as a more generalist, control Carry.

Muriel

SUPPORT7 zmian

−4±3Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENMuriel is receiving a smaller set of changes this pass, with changes primarily focused around reducing her general uptime and potency. In the case of Reversal of Fortune, it is receiving a cooldown hit to ensure it is not as freely usable in the later stages of a match as this is where Muriel can begin to splitpush and the windows of downtime and punishment are currently too minimal; and for Consecrated Ground, the value of its damage and healing in the early lane is slightly too high, making it overly difficult for many Melee Supports to fight into her zones. Finally, we’ve adjusted the Animation Speed of Serenity in order to make the Ability a little more intuitive to fire and hit which should help many players have a more enjoyable and consistent experience.

Narbash

SUPPORT13 zmian

+7−1±5Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENNarbash is receiving a sweeping set of changes, with the goal of further improving his rough edges to make him more satisfying to play. On the Thunk front, he is receiving a reduction in the Thunk knock-back in order to reduce how much it feels like a negative when using it aggressively, while also increasing its Stun duration to give it adequate impact. Likewise, we have adjusted Crash Bang Boom’s Slow Duration, meaning it will no longer immediately fall off when an Enemy gets outside its range, and therefore make achieving the Mesmerize condition far more consistent. Finally, we’re once again reducing the cooldown of Song Of My People, better allowing high APM Narbash enjoyers to easily toggle between their stances and play at the pace they desire. Alongside the other general balance adjustments, these changes should hopefully have Narbash feeling more consistent and enjoyable to operate, and we will continue to keep an eye on him moving forward in case more work is needed.

Neon

MIDLANE8 zmian

+1−4±3Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENNow that some time has passed since N3on’s addition to the Predecessor roster, we have seen many players reach a level of mastery with her that allows them to utilize her full potential. As a result, she is now in a position where we can pull back on some of the general burst potential and uptime she has, with L.I.N.X specifically taking a bigger hit as the consistency changes to the ability in v1.12.4 made the ability much more reliable to use and we now see players too easily 1-shotting down their targets once N3on acquires a couple of items.

Phase

SUPPORT6 zmian

−3±3Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENPhase is receiving a smaller set of changes to ensure her general capabilities are not too powerful relative to the rest of the roster, especially as she acts as a harder counter in various matchup scenarios where the safety she offers can too effectively stonewall incoming aggression.

Rampage

JUNGLE2 zmian

−1±1Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENThe previous round of adjustments to Rampage were successful in reducing his general damage output and oppressiveness as the strength was primarily coming from his Rumbling and Tiny Titan Augments. Now that they are in a more appropriate place, we’re targeting the removal of some further damage within his kit. This better positions him more accurately as a frontline menace while ensuring he does not have much backline threat given said durability.

Revenant

CARRY3 zmian

−1±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENSince v1.12, Revenant has been suffering from a bug where his Critical Strikes were dealing less damage than intended. This has now been resolved which will provide him with a meaningful bump in damage. Due to this, while the fix will result in a net-increase in power, as a precaution, we are undoing the previous increase to his Physical Power Growth to slightly offset some of this new strength and will keep an eye on him moving forward.

Riktor

SUPPORTJUNGLE13 zmian

+9±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENRiktor has largely fallen out of contention within the Support Role as he typically feels too fragile to position aggressively in the early lane, too immobile to roam the map appropriately, and is not adequately rewarded when landing a Riplash in lane (especially with the air control changes making hooks more difficult to land), often losing out on the back end of trades despite hitting a full combo. To help bring him back into contention as a respected Support threat, we’re granting him a range of increases across his kit that will help resolve these issues and allow him to feel more autonomous and impactful throughout a match.

Serath

JUNGLEOFFLANE18 zmian

+10−2±6Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENSerath is one of the few remaining Heroes that feels a little left behind since the v1.12 update. Despite possessing incredible damage output, her general fragility and “all or nothing” nature leads to a playstyle that is frustrating to both operate, and be on the receiving end of, as many combat encounters resolve extremely quickly with either herself or her target being slain. Given this, we’re shifting around Serath’s values a bit, granting her increased durability, utility and uptime across her base kit. In return, we’re reducing some of the excess damage from Heresy. The combination of these changes will have Serath feeling more functional in duels and teamfights, but will offer her opponents more room to respond as they will not be melting as quickly in specific mid/late-game all-in scenarios.

Sparrow

CARRY4 zmian

−2±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENWith the introduction of Stealth into her base kit in v1.12 that freed up her Augment options, Sparrow’s general consistency and consistent DPS output results in her being a staple within the Carry role that has far less fragility and weaknesses than before. Due to this, we’re trimming back some of the excess damage she is capable of to ensure her general output is more in line with her newfound versatility.

Steel

OFFLANESUPPORT6 zmian

+1−3±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENSteel is receiving some smaller adjustments aimed at two things: For starters, we’re reducing the general durability he possesses in the early-lane, better allowing him to be poked out and pressured in the Duo Lane especially. On the flip side, we are adjusting the damage weights of Shield Bash to make Steel feel more functional in the Offlane/Jungle roles, making it more effective against higher health targets so that he can continue to posture for priority in various matchups, but roughly the same overall damage when damaging lower health, squishy targets.

TwinBlast

CARRY11 zmian

+5−2±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENDespite having a high theoretical damage output, the inconsistency present within TwinBlast’s ability-set results in him slightly lagging behind other Carries. Due to this unreliability, we’re once again bolstering his cooldown uptime and general strength across his arsenal, better allowing him to feel functional against a variety of foes and for each element of his Kit to feel impactful.

Wraith

CARRYMIDLANE10 zmian

+5−3±2Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENWraith is receiving a more subtle set of changes that will help improve his early-game laning experience, with adjustments to his Knock, Knock that will improve the number of opportunities he has to pop marks across a wave or commit to back to back snipes, as well as redistributing some of the damage of Peekaboo’s Mark into the upfront hit to provide more general value. In return for this increase to early-game usability and autonomy, we’re trimming back some of the Mana Refund to ensure he cannot resort to passive play as easily, while also reducing some of the Mark Damage which can become excessive in the late-game.

Yurei

JUNGLE10 zmian

−6±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENYurei’s ability to dominate a match in the first 10-15 minutes thanks to her high early-game damage currently makes her too reliable of a threat, especially in the hands of players that have mastered her. Likewise, she is currently able to exert too much pressure in Offlane matchups thanks to her Ephemeral Surge offering a consistent source of Mana Restore that leaves her opponents little room to duel her. Due to these factors, we are reducing her general Mana efficiency and damage output, better ensuring she must work adequately hard to achieve her win-conditions and find success in fights.

Zarus

OFFLANEJUNGLE11 zmian

+1−6±4Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENSince the change to Zarus’ Evade that granted it some additional verticality, Zarus has emerged as one of the most well-rounded combatants in the roster. Despite his versatility and generalist nature, he continues to excel in too many areas and is in need of further adjustments to his cooldown uptime and general durability to ensure he is more adequately in the middle of the pack.

Zinx

SUPPORT13 zmian

+8±5Karta bohatera

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENDespite the larger v1.12 outliers now settling down, Zinx still hasn't quite found her footing within the Support role and is in need of an extra bump to push her back up as a contender in the role. For this pass, we’re increasing the general consistency and uptime of Ricochet, making it more satisfying to use, alongside providing her with slightly greater lane threat and healing capabilities, better allowing her to reach a level of impact and autonomy in a match that is reflective of other Supports.

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENCan you believe our baby is already on V4? It feels like only yesterday we introduced it to the world! V4 is definitely one of the biggest overhauls we’ve made to Daybreak so far. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful in shaping the map, and we hope you’ll enjoy the changes! One of the biggest updates is that the map has been made exactly 13.58% smaller. This should improve rotation times, reduce travel time, and improve the overall flow of the map. The jungle has once again been reworked for a better layout and smoother flow, and the placement of jungle entrances has been adjusted to enable better ganks - or help you avoid them. The placement of some camps has also been adjusted to make jungle clears more straightforward. Additionally, the number of jungle camps has been reduced. This is a natural change following the map size decrease and reflects our desire to ensure junglers stay engaged with what’s happening in the lanes and around objectives. To better support lower-mobility Heroes on the map, we’ve either removed or adjusted jump-over surfaces so all Heroes can take advantage of them. We’re also adjusting the teleporters. Their location has been shifted slightly to ensure they remain a respectable distance away from the pit, rather than acting as a direct ride straight there.

Komentarz deweloperóworyginał ENOn the distant garden world of Velrune sits the discontented queen Adele, the current heir and ruler of the Kingdom Of Thorns.
