Predecessor Patch 0.5
By sacrilege — March 21, 2023
Predecessor patch 0.5 is now live, bringing a bunch of balance changes as well as brand new hero Kira, the Huntress!
Patch NotesMarch 21, 2023
Versus AI now grants account XP.
New skins are available in the store: Arctic Frost Dekker, Cardinal Sin Kira, and Wasteland Howitzer.
Dekker
Dekker is still a fairly solid pick within the current meta, however she tends to be outshined by her enchanter friends in the Support roles. We’d like to give her more direct buffs by making her Stasis bombs a bit easier to land directly, her cage a bit more reliable and shifting the cage numbers a bit to incentivise earlier levels in Photon Disruptor after Stasis Bomb.
Stasis Bomb projectile is now significantly faster.
Rocket Boots
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 18s to 9.5s based on character level.
Containment Fence
Duration has been adjusted. 2.25s / 2.5s / 2.75s / 3s / 3.25s2.4s / 2.6s / 2.8s / 3s / 3.2s
Drongo
Lately Drongo has seen a bump in early power due to damage being shifted away from crit and into his levels. This has allowed him to more safely enter Solo lanes in some niche scenarios. We’re decreasing his early game durability and damage a small amount to lessen his early presence and allow Solo laners more opportunities to deal with him.
Starting health has been decreased. 615600
Starting physical power has been decreased. 5553
Gadget
Shock Absorber
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 26.4s to 6s based on character level.
Gideon
Cosmic Power
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 18s to 9s based on character level.
Howitzer
Armed Salvo
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 16s to 7.5s based on character level.
Kallari
Omen was an item that never interacted well with the Kallari’s kit. These changes will allow her to very quickly access both her stealth and Death Mark when applying them with the same basic attack.
Omen's passive cooldown reduction will now apply to Shadow Walk and Death Mark when applied with the same basic attack.
Shadow Dance
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 20s to 3s based on character level.
Khaimera
Khaimera has been abusing Ashbringer above most other on-hit effects recently. We’ll look to resolve those with on-hit modifiers in future, but until then we’re making his Q ability behave like other Heroes’ abilities by not allowing the cooldown to start until it has expired. This means he can still stack up Ashbringer, but will not have his Q available instantly again.
Unleash
Cooldown now only begins once all five hits have occured, or once the duration expires.
Cooldown has been decreased. 13s / 11s / 9s / 7s / 5s10s / 8.5s / 7s / 5.5s / 4s
Murdock
Shots Fired
Cooldown is no longer affected by ability haste, and now instead scales from 12.5ss to 4s based on character level.
