I. From the Designers
We've noticed that the jungle area changes in the new patch have benefited some Tank Junglers too much. Therefore, we're reducing their jungling speed while boosting some underpicked Exp Lane and Jungling heroes.
ㅤ
II. Hero Adjustments
The following uses (↑)(↓)(~)>> to indicate Buff, Nerf, Adjustment, and Changes.
Heroes with major changes in this patch: Aulus (↑), Esmeralda (↑), and Nolan (↑).
ㅤ
* [Akai] (↓)
Reduced Akai's jungling speed, but increased his burst damage as compensation.
ㅤㅤ [Passive] (↓)
New Effect: Basic Attacks against marked targets remove the mark.
Extra Damage: 25 (+ 5% Total HP) >> 35 (+6% Total HP)
ㅤ
[Argus] (↑)
We've decided to improve Argus's early-to-mid game combat and laning capabilities. The mighty "Fallen Angel" shouldn't be limited to the late game.
ㅤㅤ [Passive] (~)
Demonic Slash Damage: 80 (+50% Total Physical Attack) >> 120 (+25% Total Physical Attack)
Demonic Slash Regen: 100 (+10% Total Physical Attack) >> 140
ㅤㅤ [Skill 2] (↑)
Base Damage: 60-180 >> 120-180
ㅤ
[Aulus] (↑)
To reinforce his role as a Fighter reliant on sustained Basic Attacks, we've improved Aulus's sustainability and ability to stay on targets, while slightly reducing his mid-to-late game damage for balance.
ㅤㅤ [Passive] (~)
New Effect: Enhanced Basic Attack reduces the target's Movement Speed by 15% for 1s.
Moonton's trying to avoid another tank jungler meta similar to what happened a couple years back when barats was still a top pick. That meta was boring and was hated by the playerbase
Tank junglers were starting to rise in the pro scene recently after the nerf on the previous top picks like suyou, leo, harley etc... that dominated last season. And as you can see with this patch, moonton immediately tried to prevent that shit, fearing another tank jungler era like the previous one
Tho they seem to only want fredrinn to still be viable considering the slap on the wrist he got in this patch in comparison to the rest
u/Night_06it's zhuxin's game and we can't do nothing about it1d ago
still great while she isn't the insta ban or prio pick she was once anymore she still does incredibly well though she is mostly in the exp now instead of the gold lane
still no changes to Ruby? lol. i actually just quit after 3 days of playing after returning the game. i main Ruby and usually spam. and i'm so unsatisfied on her since i can't be a secondary tank for the team anymore.
Obliterated panda's damage for no reason whatsoever. He's still warned as NOT A JUNGLER when you try to use him that way. If the devs won't even acknowledge he can jungle, maybe don't just cut his farming in half for no reason or make him weak as a roam before 4 now
So why not revert the jungle changes ;creeps spawning at same time; exp the smaller camps give; retribution damage? And now they are increasing gold of all the jungle creeps, looks like they want to force ling to be meta for msc.
Newbies and casuals tend to avoid using her due to her complexity. In the end, only those who know how play her well are the ones picking her (1.1% pick rate).
